some republican's have come quite a ways from ronald reagan's america as a "bright shining city on a hill" analogy.
to be fair, good men like john mccain did all they could to mitigate the damage being done in the bush years (which makes honu's use of him as an example for use of torture a surrealistic misfire).
but for the most part i guess most just gave up the idea of being a nation founded on ideals like the rule of law. it's just eye for an eye time.
