Right. One of us. A good guy. Like Reagan.
When Reagan was elected I thought, "There's gotta be thousands of regular guys like him. Why can't we just get a bunch of these guys elected? Shouldn't be that hard."
Well, 30 years later, obviously it's harder than it looks apparently. There was more to Reagan than met the eye. I think one of the rare distinguishing characteristics about Reagan was reflected in a plaque on his Oval Office desk that read, "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who get's the credit." An anti-political statement if I've ever seen one (quote may have originally come from Harry Truman).
Reagan was unique because he never sought political office, the office sought him. He was, therefore, well suited to doing what was right because he was not made of the fabric of political expediency or political self-perpetuation.
These are birds of a difference feather who are very hard to find these days. Not only patriots and leaders, but selfless, putting America and the American People ahead of their own political ambition. Rare indeed. We need one of those rare birds right now. If there is to be such a one arriving on the scene, God will provide him and He did Reagan.
Absolutely, there's been a lot of effort put into engineering it to be that way, and here's a brochure explaining why:
