19. Those cold dark eyes...

Surprisingly, as a profile in the Los Angeles Times last month pointed out, Miller is a graduate of Santa Monica High School, the almost comically left-leaning enclave of California-style Californiaism. Even back then, Miller's politics as "the student body's best-known and least-liked conservative activist" were retrograde and unpopular, only without the imprimatur of the office of the presidency behind them.

The inclusive, multi-cultural atmosphere of the school irked Miller, as many of his fellow classmates at the time have said, and it was something he wasn't afraid of making known. A video from the spring of 2002 that uncovered by Unvision shows Miller running in a student body election, expressing an attitude toward the largely Latino support staff that would serve as foreshadowing for this administration.

"Hi, I'm Stephen Miller, some of you may or may not know who I am," he begins. "We're not talking about that right now. I'm the only candidate up here who stands out. I would say and I would do things that no one else in their right mind would say or do. Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up our trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?"
