Hope for this Country?

One of the horror message boards I visit frequently has political threads. They usually degenerate into name calling and obscenity in minutes. Someone posted this link today:

It has been there all day, with Bush-bashing people piling on, and no one speaking up in defense of the Commander Guy. Is there hope? Have we awakened from this long nightmare?
