Mitt Romney: 'Culture Does Matter'

Submitted by ub on

I have spent my time commenting here and in other places attempting to reveal what I believe to be anti American and anti Constitutional behavior in our government, I see it on both sides of the aisle but primarily in the current White House.

I have not spoken or wrote about Mr. Romney, I figured that I will deal with him on the same subjects after he hopefully attains the presidency.

The letter he wrote which I have included below, is a simple and concise communication by what appears to be an American, speaking plainly in American terms about American values and goals.

Famed author Gore Vidal Dies at age 86 of complications from pneumonia (1925–2012).

The playwright, politician and commentator made his career by always challenging power. His writings were exceptional. Here are some of City Island Images' favorite quotes.

"The United States was founded by the brightest people in the country — and we haven't seen them since."

"Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die."
