Dick Morris, former political consultant for the Clinton campaign and aclaimed toe-sucker, was recently greeted as the new "comeback kid" in many newspapers. Clearly unencumbered by shame or a sense of public disgrace, Morris stood before a "Power and Politics in America" class at New York University and began to... lecture with an invited television crew.

Turn on the television, read the papers, and what do you find? You see everywhere celebrated the raunchy, the debauched, the dissolute, the depraved. The notorious have become notable. Infamy is chic.

The solution to the nation's problems, depends on the true American achievers. It's people like you, playing by the rules and celebrating and continuing to remind people of the traditions and institutions that made this country great, who can re-create a society that is great once more. It's only by doing the right thing that this country is going to fix itself and survive.
