We will have another that espouses the conservative values and love of America, that Reagan had.
Be of good cheer,my friend....help is on the way.
She’s gorgeous,smart,tough and good!
Having had Democrats running Congress since ‘06, and now 0bama in office, I think America is on the path of permanent decline. The electorate has proven itself too lazy and too stupid to remain free; people voted for the mommy state, and once it sets in you’re pretty much doomed as a people. It slowly enervates the population until the will to compete is gone. I’m convinced the future belongs to Asia.
The U.S. “media” will not allow another Reagan to arise. They will do everything in their power, including lying to the public, to attack, libel, and tear down anyone who presents a conservative opinion. Look at how they tore down and helped defeat Rick Santorum, George Allen, and Sarah Palin.
The United States as it was under Reagan will not exist again until the traitors to our nation in the newsrooms have been eliminated.
(metaphorically speaking, of course)
“Supposing that Obama finishes this four-year term, and continues his disastrous policy, will we have another Reagan to fix this?”
By your question you show more promise than the typical 18 year old (apart, perhaps, from those who may be serving in the Middle East).
Your question is based on 1) the presumption we will enjoy free and open elections; and 2) that a future president can by his or her own efforts reverse the sharp leftward swerve our nation has taken and continues to take.
Well-informed national writers suggest 1) is in doubt. They point to:
the fact that Obama has been surrounded by anti-Americans his entire life and even presently;
Obama’s longstanding involvement with ACORN and the status it currently enjoys with tax-payer monies;
Obama’s expressed desire for a Civilian National Security Force as well-funded as the military;
Obama’s support of the Iran government’s position with regard to the protests of an amazingly quick count of votes; and,
Obama’s support of Honduran leftist thug Zelaya’s clearly illegal attempt to circumvent the authority of his country’s election laws, its Congress and its Supreme Court.
(for more see, http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124744094880829815.html.)
just to name a few reasons.
One can wonder what La Vegas odds makers would say about Obama’s likely future behavior.
As for 2), a Reagan-like president will require legislative support if he or she is to have measurable success. Dumbed-down voters seem bent on electing open socialists and RINOs masquerading as patriots to the Congress.
What do you suppose will effectively change the behavior of the voters?

I have bad news for you. Carter's meddling with the economy was nothing compared to what is going on now. The closest parallel I think would be Hoover-Roosevelt who both tried to stimulate the economy with an assortment of government interventions. (See Rothbard's History of Money and Banking. excerpt here) We didn't break out of it for nearly 20 years.

No, and we should stop looking. Reagan was almost 30 years ago, we didn’t get Reagan by searching for Ike, and we’re not going to get the next great GOPer looking for Reagan.
I’m glad you spoke up and asked. There will never be another Reagan but take heart there are other Conservatives out there with the same ideals and courage that he had, Sarah namely. :) I turned 18 during the disatorous Carter years so I know exactly what you are feeling. It made me a lifelong conservative and I’m sure many of your generation the same will happen to them. Reality is a powerful teacher!
What we are going through now is not what Reagan faced.
The globalists and bankster wackos are much more corrupt and powerful than they were when Reagan came along. I think they control the US Presidents now with threats to use their power to bring the nation economically, to it’s knees, if demands are not met. These folks pick our candidates for us. They did not pick Palin...hence the demonization of her. They did pick McCain and Obama. Romney is a trustworthy globalist “citizen of the world” too.
By the time Obama is out of office, I suspect the US will be totally entwined in formal operations of global governance. He will begin by placing economic planning and regulation under the IMF through the Fed.
About you worrying...you are only eighteen years old and your generation is going to live in a different world than did your parents and grandparents. It is what it is so you need to learn about it and prepare yourself for it. Worrying is wasted energy...plotting and planning to rescue the constitution and Republic is the way to use your energy.
Politically, in general, look to actively support people who the corporate media, Democrats and Rinos hate. They Americans they snort at...make fun of as being “stupid” or a “hater” when that makes no sense.
We belong to a very different culture than the one he knew, to a very different society than the one placed him in office 1980 and again in 1984.
Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama are the MTV generation presidents.
