***According to Hal the world ended in 1988.***

***It was the last year for the Gipper’s Presidency.

So in that respect, the world DID end.***

Agreed.

The day that Ronald Reagan left office was quite frankly the beginning of our national trials and tribulations.

Nobody in their right mind actually voted "for" GHWB for President that year, they were voting for what they hoped would be a figurative 3rd term for Reagan. Likewise, America took a good look at the Little Puke (err, 'Duke') Michael Dukakis and they knew collectively that they didn't want that sap in the White House for 4 to 8 minutes, let alone 4 to 8 years.

And true to Bush form, GHWB screwed the pooch and failed to secure a second term for himself, thereby inflicting 8 years of the Sink Emperor and Al Ghoul on our Nation which paved the way for the attacks of 9/11.

In perhaps a bizarre case of delayed buyer's remorse, America elected GWB, who subtly parlayed that 'cowboy' persona (ride 'round the ranch in Crawford, clear some brush, drive my pick-em-up truck, you know, like that other President did, Ron Reagan?) into an electoral win, and just barely.

George W. Bush was never a true conservative, he was no different than those country club elite Ivy League RINOs but he knew how to appeal to the conservative base who more or less backed him for most of his presidency. But the facts are, GWB spent money no differently than that other loser from Texas, LBJ with his 'Great Society', he never even found his damn veto pen until 2006, and that was to veto a bill regarding stem cell research. He started off great with the War on Terror, taking on that 'Axis of Evil', but by the time he left office, two of those legs (North Korea and Iran) are stronger than ever, pose an even greater threat to world peace and stability, and he passed 'em on to his successor, the one and only Usurper-in-Chief.

It is going to end badly FRiends. As optimistic as I want to be, the 0bamunist/Communist left is not just on the march, they are galloping towards their goals and will not allow themselves to be stopped.

In my lifetime, I have seen 11 Presidents occupying the White House, and of all of them, only one had my utter trust and confidence, and that was Ronald Reagan. If the Gipper looked me in the eye (be it in person or on the TV or at a speech) and said "I will do thus-and-so" or "I believe this is the best choice for America", I trusted him, I believed him, it never occurred to me that he was lying. I believe he was incapable of lying, that is the kind of man of integrity that President Ronald Reagan was.

And I doubt we will see his kind pass this way again, to my everlasting regret.
