Project Theme #1 Rough Draft #2

Introductory Paragraph
Over the past century, there have been great feats to spread the concepts of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and human dignity. Some nations didn't get the message, or had their own ideas on evolving the concept, and failed. In the pre-World War Two era, The Destructive Nazi Germany and Ruthless Japanese Empire, as well as other powers of the eastern hemisphere at the time, were perfect examples of a negative spread of these concepts. The Communist Soviet Union was an example that also had negative effect on these concepts. However, the United States successful resistance to Soviet powers in the Cold War created an extremely positive effect on personal freedoms and human dignity, as well as the presidency of Ronald Reagan. However, the presidency of William Jefferson Blythe Clinton could have been much more effective on these concepts.

VIDEO BAR ADDED TO MY BLOGSPOT OF AWSOMENESS

While researching the Clinton presidency in the 90's, I came across this video of former president Bill Clinton caught on camera pretending to cry at Ron Brown's funeral.
Watch this video and ask yourself:
Do we really want this man back in the White House???
(As the the "First Man" alongside Hillary, nonetheless)
If your answer is yes, then you are a sad, sad, human being...
