Good thing Ronald Reagan didn’t feel like you at his age.

I thought it looked pretty danged gloomy after the Watergate debacle in 1974.

For too long the Republican Party was more about making big bucks than it was about preserving constitutional freedoms. The GOP is just as guilty of "the end justifies the means" philosophy and actions as the liberals are. I fought the battle, at great personal expense, for 50 years, I never let the GOP down, but the GOP damned sure betrayed me.

Excuse me, when I say I'm tired, not impressed by what I see in line for leadership, and sorry we didn't just load the rifles and charge the bastards 40 years ago.

Have you ever lost your job because of your political activism? Have you ever sacrificed a 26 year marriage to your political activism? I have, and you'd best tread lightly when you chide me for my current state of mind.
