to mention a couple, frances trollope, the mother of the great novelist anthony, spent two weird years in cincinnati trying to recover from a bankruptcy, then went back to england and wrote a book saying how awful the americans were. the book is full of prejudice and snobbery. although she is very intelligent, she barely gets a sense of what america really was. even the great dickens, who was here 10 years later, was quite snobbish. one thing that struck me, anecdotally, was tocqueville's english was excellent by the time he left nine months later after getting here, but it was never that of a native speaker. british people come over and they are offended by americanisms. "go the whole hog." "keep cool." they even called her children "honey," which she got was outrageous. that did not bother tocqueville. >> did americans buy trollope's book? >> they felt insulted and betrayed by these visitors that they had entertained had entertained hospitably. she was very conservative and very stern. she was hoping to show that democracy was so evil that it ought to be prevented. this author was mo

host: anthony, republican line. massachusetts. caller: thank you for having me. i think this is horrible what is happening obviously, and i think the whole conclusion that we need to change everything -- all the oil rigs, we need to change all of them. i understand that, it is a great idea. the only problem is, we are not the only ones drilling down there. the russians are all over the world in deep sea rigging, and they have -- there technology -- vera technology adding dates back to the 1960's and 1970's. -- their technology dates back to the 1960's and 1970's. but where is the outrage at the government for waiting 55 days? we want to point the finger -- fine -- find where the evil capitalists are hiding and say those are the moneymakers and they are evil and evil. but at the same time, we don't want to hold our own government accountable? how many days after katrina did george bush jump right on that where he was out there making a speech about that and fema was already on the way -- i believe it was less than a week or a few days. i knew it was a lot shorter

anthony, a democrat, costa mesa, california. should we get out of afghanistan? caller: my opinion is, we shouldn't. let me tell you why. first of all, the taliban and al qaeda have attacked us already in afghanistan. wherever else in the middle east they might be. that region is a platform for terrorism and funding terrorism against the united states and england and whoever else as well. so, i think it is more for us to try to break of this type of activity. of course, war has drastic consequences and it does cost money. also, one major point i would like to make is -- basically the whole muslim culture does not like israel, for whatever reason. i believe that the jewish people, just like any other race and culture should have their own segregated territory just like everybody else. they deserve their land. and the fact that the united states has boldly invaded iraq and afghanistan, it sets the tone in that region that israel has a big brother and if they mess with israel that have to mess with the big brother. host: julien, republican -- julian, california. sor

anthony, you are next. caller: hello? host: what are your thoughts about labor and arkansas primary? caller: without labor, this country would be a lot -- in a lot of trouble. i find it ironic that someone who won due to the labor vote would contradict the action. labor is a vital part of the american economy and i think it should be treated with more respect. how crucial it is to the economy. i find it ironic that the southern states, who mostly vote against labor, are the ones whose jobs and transported overseas. that is just my comments. host: grant on the republican line. caller: thank you for c-span. very good discussion. i did we should be concerned that the unions did not get their way in arkansas -- i think we should be concerned that the unions did not get their way in arkansas. when unions and labor are stymied, the often resort to violence. they have done it before. you can see it happen over in greece now, and it is coming. they are organizing, talking about taking to the streets. i think we should be very con

anthony on our independent line. caller: good morning, how are you? host: very well, thank you. caller: the question is -- host: and whether or not the gender of a candidate even matters. caller: to me, absolutely not. i want someone in office who knows what they are doing. if when they are campaigning they make complete sense, i will vote for that person. whether it is a woman or not, it does not affect me. kind of referring to another caller was talking about, as far as who to vote for. firefighters and things of that nature -- i really don't care what they did before. if they make sense and what they say is going to make changes, then everyone knows what needs to be done, i'm all for that person. more than anything, i would say i would vote for the ceo's and the business owners because they ran a company. i want them to run a successful government at the same time. host: can i ask all your? caller: i am 22. host: so this has never been an issue for you, thinking about and watching politics? caller: i am actually pretty bulova coakley active. i watch c-span i would say every m

hi, anthony. caller: yes.he gentleman mentioned a few minutes ago that there was at one point blood in the water, that old political phrase. well, literally we now have oil in the water down in louisiana and of course it's affecting the entire southern coastline of this country. it is by far a national issue. it is one that the president of the united states is going to be ultimately held accountability for bp might be responsible but it will be the president who is looked at in terms of his ability to finally account for the results there. let me just say this. i'm an african american, i was very proud to have voted for president barack obama. it was perhaps the most historic election in my lifetime. i might not get another opportunity to vote for a viable african american candidate for president at 66 years. i'm beginning to think, however, that i made the classic political mistake. politicians like things the way they want them to be. the world of course confronts a the world of course confronts a president

you have clarence thomas and anthony ennedy from out west of the that's not very diverse at all. to me, diversity doesn't matter as much as qualifications and experience and adjustment. but the left always argues that diversity is important and yet, clearly, she does not me it more diverse. if they want diversity she is not it. and as a matter of fact she hosted a forum at harvard and i watched the video the other day, and they mentioned her. this was about two years ago and they mentioned her as a possible supreme court justice and she even laughed and said i bring the same life experience of the common man and she was laughing because she was making joke on herself because cheerily she doesn't. she's from the east coast can lon. >> from your editorial times article she's willing t cut first amendment free speech for political purposes. guest: this is crucially important. it's really remarkable when you look at her whole history on first amendment free speech rights. there's only two issues on which she has let herself sort of get out front. one is on how much rights and free sp
