...Laughs.) Well, I think that our government spends a good part of their waking hours figuring out what batch of lies they're going to tell us next. I don't believe most of what I'm told by the politicians. I think virtually everything they say for public consumption is said with an agenda. I just don't think that we have a very honest relationship with our government in this country, and it makes me angry...

John Quincy Adams, son of Founding Father John Adams, became a national figure in his own right by working with Southerners. President George Washington, a Virginian, gave him his first job. President James Monroe, another Virginian, made him Secretary of State. And Speaker of the House Henry Clay, a Kentuckian, helped him win the presidency when the election of 1824 was thrown to the House of Representatives. For most of his career, Adams believed the South would handle slavery on its own, wiping the great blot from national...
