(e.g. Romney invoking Neil Armstrong tonight leads straight into my lengthy "Reaganomics is the reason we have done NOTHING but regress since the moon landing" rant, even though it began with the Energy Crises and Nixon ending the gold standard.)

Anybody here ever studied the founding fathers of America?
