Would “bomb bomb Iran” McCain be different? Cheney? Or Herman Cain who probably can’t locate half the nations on a map and who refuses to even discuss foreign policy? Silly Sarah who can “see Russia” from the Aleutians? Meglomaniac Santorum or the insipid Flip-Flopper Mitt?

Americans delude themselves that this Rome on the Potomac is still faithful to the revolutionary Founders and to the Declaration and Constitution when, in reality, we have created a floundering, corrupted, power-hungry Empire that evolved into the ugly beast we originally rebelled against.

Imagine, for a moment, a different Secretary of State like John Quincy Adams – who gave this speech on the 45th Independence Day:
