As if by magic!
And make a list of all the excuses you remember from the past. you will see them all appear again as if they were newly revealed never before spoken truths.
As if by magic...
LOL I've survived ever election purge so far even the 2000 Bush invasion. People forget several things about Reagan. He was the last POTUS elected on a Conservative/GOP-E Ticket. The ones to follow have been GOP-E/GOP-E tickets.
Reagan's communication skills played a big part in his two wins as POTUS. So did his beliefs and principles. It was what was going on behind the scenes that crossed party lines that gave him huge landslides. People forget about the very Conservative successful grassroots movement which did cross party lines. Even fewer would know their names except possibly for one of them.
Paul Weyrich, Howard Phillips, Jerry Falwell, and a man named Ed McAteer, came up with an idea that would bring Christian Conservatives together and use their political voice. Reagan being a wise man embraced the movement. It was called The Moral Majority. It wasn't a GOP ran group nor a DEM even though both parties were involved. That was the last time this nation put national morality as being a priority. The result was we were blessed with Reagan and after some correction our prosperity before the world restored. He didn't shun Christian Conservatives as ones who followed did in the GOP.
We are now in the largest national leadership crisis since The Civil War. Our national leaders are embracing gay marriage, uncontrolled immigration with good hopes of amnesty, abortion on demand, force healthcare paid for by employers including birth control a violation of moral conscience before GOD by many business owners, rampant corruption which only a few in office are addressing.
Someone, anyone, care to show me anyone in the GOP-E who is standing tall? I don't mean persons like Cruz, Lee, Golmert, I mean like Boehner, McConnell, Alexander, Corker, Graham, etc. They are part of the problem and are not the solution. What keeps them in office? Our nations judgment for turning away from GOD? Our own choices perhaps of consent by vote? GOD will Bless America but America had best start making the right choices.
We can not ask GOD to deliver us from the ones who bring this upon us when we refuse to even vote against them. We unlike most nations have a choice as to who is our leaders. We bring these tyrants upon ourselves as a nation for simple expedience. Look where the USA was in 1985 and look where she stands today. If this were 1985 some politicians would be in prison for a real long time today we call them most electable. Had enough yet?
There are a lot of good points there and no bad ones.
The bottom line I think is that people deserve what they bring on themselves. They sit here and spout the most nonsensical crap and invent fantastic excuses to keep doing more of what screwed us. I know this to be true simply by reading any right wing website and reading that very thing daily.
I think what I miss more than Reagan about that era was that many Dems from the 80s were harder right than all but 2-3 in the GOP today. And the fact that voters were not moral cowards. Not like today.
