Well, we're in trouble, but they also voted for Reagan because he communicated in a way that made plain sense to them. As America and the world has moved away from spiritual vitality in Christ, the size of undecideds who don't know what to think has grown. They need more and more to have things pointed out to them in plain terms.

It seems that the Left doesn't as difficult a time with this because "government will fix it" is not hard to understand. Apparently the argument for freedom and the free market is more subtle and has to first be clear in the speaker's mind and then made plain and clear by the speaker. Tough to find those Reagan-type kinds of folks. But the argument for freedom if made plain and clear wins every time over the argument for more government. I think as Reagan did, that given the chance and understanding of the clear choice, people will vote for freedom.

Freedom is hardly won and easily lost.
