So glad my parents are gone now, except to be around them. This mess would kill them. The desecration and villainy abounding in America is heartbreaking.

Think Ronald Reagan and the Panama Canal Treaty. He was against the ‘giveaway’. After a thorough discussion in the senate, both sides deliberating it was passed. There was no way Reagan would succumb. The deal was good for us and Latin America. Reagan was running for office. Agreeing would have made him a squish. Sound familiar?

Reagan won in ‘80 and his position didn’t cost him anything.

If you remember the agreement gave us the right to interfere if civil unrest in Panama constituted a threat to it’s operation. Still Reagan wouldn’t budge.
