Performance Art, 2009 Version
If you can stomach the first couple of minutes, it gets good after he chokes up the first time.
He goes on with some bizarre metaphor that our nation has been at the "wrong party."
Typically, in this metaphor it is NOT YOUR FAULT -- you were tricked into going to this party!
He longs for a "simpler" time, which presumably means when non-whites, non-straights,
non-cripples and non-males knew that staying quiet and unseen was a virtuous
and rewarding career.
And everyone had more cavities and the infant mortality rate was higher
and you could put any old poison into the river any old time you wanted to
and shoot someone in the belly if they crossed your property line
and punch them in the face if they were wearing a smile you didn't like.

Heh heh heh.
To look back at the way America "used to be," just look back at 1970s commercials. (For Coke and Kodak, no less.)
Politicians are driving this country into the ground. If only we'd look to our multinational companies for guidance.
Kodak may not be exactly thriving now (oop! so much for looking back) but Coke can still lead the way. Coke and Fox News.
I'll bet in feudal times, the Royals had a bunch of hired jokers who poked their heads over the castle walls and gave advice to the peasants on how to handle
the tough times. Then they all had a good
laugh at the banquet hall.
