And the insanity rampant in some parts of the world that hate America and all it stands for is not simply going to vanish no matter how much talk of 'hope and change' (i.e., appeasement and sucking up to evil) issues forth from the new, improved, progressive (i.e., vindictive and classless) goons in the new Administration.
