Qualifier for anyone seeking the Presidency in 2012:
Big-time spine, guts, cajones and a willignness to do battle with anyone or any group out to destroy our Constitution, anyone out to compromise our security, ruin our economy, or jeopardize our freedom and our future. Wimps need not apply.
We’re looking for a fearless Patton-style patriot or another patriot like Ronald Reagan.
True, but alas, I fear my children's children may yet be searching for such an individual.
Truly, Ronald Reagan was a "one of a kind" individual and they don't happen with anything approaching frequency.
Take a look at the current rino/conservative crop. Outside of the beliefs of Sarah Palin, one could take the very best characteristics of every one of them and put them into one idividual....and that individual still could not hold a candle to Ronald Reagan.
In and of themselves, the current rino/conservative crop defines the "great American wasteland".
The crop of dems...ok...they define, "the great communist, socialist, liberal, progressive wasteland."
Certainly not American.
