I sure miss that old man. I felt for Nancy at his funeral when they were trying to finally lead her away from his casket for the last time. I think I read her lips and I think she said "I don't want to leave him here." He was indeed one of a kind. I wish our Politicians had listened to him more closely. We wouldn't be in the shape we're in today.

Anyway, back to the subject...This may sound corny. You may or may not agree. But from what I've seen over the past 9 and a half years on this Forum, I believe the next "Ronald Reagan" will be a Freeper. I have had many discussions with many people on this board, and there are many who have impressed me greatly. Not that I count for much, but I am more impressed by more people on this Forum than ANYwhere else in ANY discussion group I've watched for any length of time. I would not be surprised. Just my 2-cents.

In the article, the author mentioned the population of 3.9 Million back at the time of the country's founding. Do you realize that we have aborted well over 10 times that population over the past 30 years? Not to take away from any of us who weren't summarily slaughtered in this manner, but how many "Ronald Reagan"-types were in that bunch. How many "Founding Father"-types? How many Einstein-types? George Washington Carver-types? I suspect there were at least a couple of each. At least.

Worth Repeating:

What keeps most conscientious conservatives, including some Freepers, from coming forth and being willing to participate in the effort to restore the Constitution and end socialism? Three primary reasons:

The unfair and unbalanced character assassination of conservative individuals that will take place by the left-wing extremists in the media. It is absurd to call the media mainstream. This entails the use of an oxymoron that lends credibility to a media that is nothing more than an organized propaganda tool for Democrats.
Incumbents have two major campaign fund raising advantages.
First, and by the far the most important, incumbents use the public treasury to buy the votes of their constituents through government sponsored socialism. This is the reason that all democracies have ended in hyperinflation or bankruptcy.
And second, since incumbents win re-election more than 90% of the time, campaign fund raising becomes a mechanism for buying political access to pertpetually re-elected incumbents.
This means challengers have to raise more money than incumbents, and they are expected to accordingly make even more committments or more promises to contributors.

Is there any wonder as to why principled people refuse to come forward to seek public office? Professional politics is a dirty business. Why would principled people wish to compete in the world's second oldest profession?

Will you come forward and help us restore the Constitution and change all that before it is too late? Get out your ping lists, invite your friends to add their names to our ping lists in order to follow this series and learn how we can take our country back. Will you take The Pledge?
