Suffice to say that I, and I do believe the majority of the World's population, loves what America is supposed to stand for, that we're appalled by what's happened and is happening, and we're not going to stand for it. I have a sense that I've pissed a few people off, and I'm sorry for that, but I am every bit as resolute to fix America as they are to control it.
