The past decade has been one of the most eventful in American
political history, from the Republican takeover of Congress to the
presidential impeachment, the resignation of two speakers of the
House, the deadlocked presidential election, the 2001 terrorist
attacks, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and more.

SUGAR LAND, Tex. -- This is the home of Britton Stein, who describes
George W. Bush as "a man, a man's man, a manly man," and Al Gore as "a
ranting and raving little whiny baby."

Forty-nine years old, Stein is a husband, a father, a landscaper and a
Republican. He lives in a house that has six guns in the closets and
21 crosses in the main hallway. His wife cuts his hair with electric
clippers. His three daughters aren't embarrassed when he kisses them
on their cheeks. He loves his family, hamburgers and his dog. He
believes in God, prays daily and goes to church weekly. He has a jumbo
smoker in his back yard and a 40-foot tree he has climbed to hang
Christmas lights. He has a pickup truck that he has filled with water
for the Fourth of July parade, driving splashing kids around a
community where Boy Scouts plant American flags in the yards. His
truck is a Chevy. His beer is Bud Light. His savior is Jesus Christ.
His neighbors include Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), the House majority
leader, who says of Sugar Land, "I think it is America."
