re: We need to look forward, not backward.

When “forward” is the wrong path to take and going back leads us to the right path, then we need to go backwards.

Obama’s idea of “forward” is socialism and worse. His idea of “change” is to utterly destroy our country and its foundational values. Staying on the “forward” path is suicide for the American way of life.

I lived through the Reagan years. Perhaps you didn't and do not appreciate what he boldly stood for and how he operated as a strong leader. There is so much to be emulated from his life. It is never a mistake to identify what a wise and successful leader did and learn from him or her. Those Republican politicians today who despise Reagan or who belittle him do so because their values and goals align more closely to the Democrats. They clearly have no problem with moving “forward”. It is the path of least resistance, and it brings us to the mess our country is in today.

Bravo!
Excellent post and how we can indeed learn from the past.

Oh please.

Of course I lived through Carter and the 80s.

You missed my point completely. He was a great man for the times. We need another great man for these times.

Looking forward doesn’t mean forgetting the past. But too many folks around here are a little too hung up on the past.
