The media (fortunately) has failed to steal Pres. Reagan’s honor!
One of the most meaningful sites on the internet: reagan2020
From that site:
Reagan was the first -- and last -- modern conservative President of the United States. That fact alone accounts for the divergent recountings of his terms as leader of the free world. Members of the Political Left still revile Reagan, while simultaneously dismissing the accomplishments of his terms in office as if the major changes he envisioned and championed would have transpired without his leadership.
During Reagan's tenure, those from the Left celebrated the balance of power and proclaimed the moral equivalence of the United States and the Soviet Union, content to live in a world divided into camps of the slave and the free. And few dared dream that this often precarious and edgy state of affairs could end in the span of their lives. But together with a band of courageous allies and inspired aides, Reagan adopted policies that eventually brought down the Iron Curtain, making the world both safer and freer than anyone could have hoped when the perilous decade of the 1980's began. In the process, Reagan demonstrated irrefutably that centralized power and bureaucratic planning cannot be harnessed to serve the public good. And the Left cannot forgive Reagan for that -- much less acknowledging or congratulating his victory.
But that was merely the last and most significant of Reagan's battles with the Left, and understanding his past is key to deciphering the reasons for his later successes. Reagan survived and won an early variant of today's culture war, when he opposed the influence of pro-Communist members of his Hollywood community. From that conflict, Ronald Reagan discerned the real outlines of the fight ahead, becoming familiar with the opponents he would face down, and coming to his own deeper recognition of the power of freedom.
Political commentators today frequently remark that conservatives have been lost since Reagan's departure from the presidency, and Republican presidential candidates in the intervening twelve years have struggled over claims to the "Reagan mantle." Such comments and squabbles miss the central point. Reagan's political genius arose not from his congenial personality, or from his acting training, or from his leadership skills, but rather from the strength and truth of his ideas. Longing for "another Reagan" -- or waiting for such a leader to arrive -- are vain wishes, which actually dishonor the memory of our beloved conservative mentor. The profound ideas that guided Reagan grew from his faith in the abilities of free people and his belief that our Constitution's model government of ordered liberties and federally distributed powers was the best on earth.
In domestic policies, Reagan introduced a program to bring our nation back into closer conformance with the Constitution's mandates. He called this program New Federalism. But these policies have been overturned since Reagan's departure from office.
We do not need another Ronald Reagan as a leader, because his ideals and principles may chart America's course for the new century -- if we will but follow them still. If our country returns to the path of New Federalism that Reagan envisioned for our future, with God's guidance and blessings we can yet become that "shining city on a hill" among the powers of the earth, that Ronald Reagan reminded us the United States could be.
Summaries of parts of the bill are being slowly and selectively released to members of Congress, the media and the public by the staff of the committee that wrote it. We will have only a few days to learn, in fact, what is in those 1,071 pages.
But we don't need to know every detail because supporters of the bill have already admitted that this new, never-ending "entitlement" will cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars and, more likely, over $1 trillion. Of course, the politicians making this decision will be dead when the children of today who are stuck paying for it, realize what has been done to them and are able to vote.
To politicians, the only future that matters is the next election. But as parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and responsible American citizens today, the future for us is not measured in such a callous and self-serving way.
The National Taxpayers Union published a chart that tells us what kind of future our children and grandchildren will have if we allow this Medicare drug bill to become law. The chart compares the yearly Medicare expenditures as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) without the prescription drug plan and with it. The numbers were compiled from the Congressional Budget Office and the 2003 Medicare Trustees report.
Without a drug "benefit," the percentage of GDP necessary to pay for Medicare increases from 2.5% to just under 10% over 75 years. With a drug "benefit," it increases to just under 40%! That's right. Not 40% of tax revenue or 40% of all government costs (that would be bad enough), but 40% of the total the U.S. produces in a year!
THINK ABOUT IT. The yearly Medicare expenditure will consume close to 40% of our nation's GDP. But, once again, politicians aren't concerned about that far into the future.
Urge your congressional delegation to strongly oppose this Republican socialism. Tell the politicians to be concerned about the future -- the future beyond the next election. Send your message now by going to THIS LINK!!

SHEEEEEESH...MUD
No comment, son.
What I'd have to say about this abomonation (~& those who'd promote and/or defend it) would most certainly be construed as heresy, here in this *temple* we've built, resulting in my being burned alive at the stake without mercy.
Since I've no real burning desire to wind up seared to a crisp, there's really only one logical, sane tack to take.
So on this subject, for me?
...discretion's the better part of valor.
Good description...gettin' harder and harder to tell the GOP from the RATS.
"...would most certainly be construed as heresy, here in this *temple* we've built, resulting in my being burned alive at the stake without mercy."
If the "temple" yer referring to is FR.com, I can see where you've come to believe speaking contrary to Dubyuh's preferences on this issue would result in a negative reaction from the BushBackers. I can actually understand that Bush is fulfilling a campaign promise to include a PrescriptionDrugBenefit in the Medicare Bill, but it is disheartening to see where Dubyuh's seemed to side with the proponents of as big a benefit as possible. The House has tried to reign this bill in a tad, but they've been undercut by the Senate RINOs and the Bush Administration!!
Here's one voter pulling fer continued gridlock until after we've got a few more GOP Senators willing to hold out fer a better--and less budget-bustin'--bill...MUD
>?<
*Gettin'*?
"If the 'temple' yer referring to is FR.com, I can see where you've come to believe speaking contrary to Dubyuh's preferences on this issue would result in a negative reaction from the BushBackers."
OK sonny, what gave it away; besides, my still being here. :o)
Truth is?
I'm a "BushBacker," too; but, I'm an American first & therein kid, lies my conundrum & that of every other truly concerned citizen.
~eh?
"I can actually understand that Bush is fulfilling a campaign promise to include a PrescriptionDrugBenefit in the Medicare Bill..."
You can?
Then *help* me, my young friend, help me because: "THINK ABOUT IT. The yearly Medicare expenditure will consume close to 40% of our nation's GDP."
Ummmm...what would *Hillary Care* have usurped, 7% of the nation's economy?
Now if you're *real* a "Numbers Guy" that'd make Hillary look pretty damned moderate; while, implying the polar opposite of not just this POTUS, but the whole damned Republican Party & that'd include every single person who'd support any of 'em on this, Mud.
I cannot -- possibly -- make it any clearer than that.
"...but it is disheartening to see where Dubyuh's seemed to side with the proponents of as big a benefit as possible."
Awwww hell, just for grins suppose you come right out & tell me exactly *who* those "proponents of as big a benefit as possible" are, will ya do that for me?
Names names, parties, y'know.
Help me, again.
"The House has tried to reign this bill in a tad, but they've been undercut by the Senate RINOs and the Bush Administration!!"
You're in some mighty deep denial if you actually believe what you've written, there.
Knowing what I *think* I do about human nature, any semblence of "reigning in" you witnessed was in reality a period of *inaction* while the immense graft this monster will spawn could be equitably divied up amoung the incredible, shameless, rotten THEIVES we've elected to both sides of the proverbial isle beginning at the very top & going down to the very bottom.
Understand?
"Here's one voter pulling fer continued gridlock until after we've got a few more GOP Senators willing to hold out fer a better--and less budget-bustin'--bill..."
And here's one voter who's going to be pulling anything *but* a lever in the upcoming election if -- any part of -- this thing succeeds.
...so help me God.
I'm not prepared to become a "BushBasher" or a "BushBot", which I guess makes me a BushBacker who continues to appeal to Dubyuh's more Right-leaning tendencies...whenneth come the conservative domestic policies I figgered would be coming once the GOP controlled Congress and the White House?!
"I can actually understand that Bush is fulfilling a campaign promise to include a PrescriptionDrugBenefit in the Medicare Bill..."
"You can? Then *help* me, my young friend, help me because: "THINK ABOUT IT. The yearly Medicare expenditure will consume close to 40% of our nation's GDP."
Personally, I wouldn't have campaigned in support of a PrescriptionDrugBenefit, but I also wouldn't have won the Presidency...my point is that you can offer a DrugBenefit that is pretty close to budget nuetral if you give the recipients a choice to join a guv'ment insurance plan or stay with their present system (over 70% of seniors are already covered by an existing plan), then let the seniors pay the premiums. Seems like the GOP's gettin' their butt whupped in a spending war, and the Right's a'scair't to challenge the cost 'cuz they don't wanna challenge THEIR POTUS!!
"...but it is disheartening to see where Dubyuh's seemed to side with the proponents of as big a benefit as possible."
"Awwww hell, just for grins suppose you come right out & tell me exactly *who* those "proponents of as big a benefit as possible" are, will ya do that for me? Names names, parties, y'know. Help me, again."
It's a bipartisan spending orgy, my FRiend.
"And here's one voter who's going to be pulling anything *but* a lever in the upcoming election if -- any part of -- this thing succeeds. ...so help me God."
I fear far too many voters will be joining you in yer boycott if the GOP fails to give genuine RightWingConservatives a vision of how Dubyuh's second-term domestic legislative agenda will be a big improvement over his first term!! If the GOP will outline such an agenda, I can foresee the potential to win a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a much-expanded majority in the House. If not, we'll be lucky if the stay-at-homes don't cause us to barely scrape by...MUD
Man, we fought two Revolutions against tyrannical governments. Won one. Lost one. Maybe it's time for a third?
Sickens me to have to say, maybe.
Saddens me to say it almost seems inevitable.
Tires me to think after Clinoccio, it's really just a continuance of the SOS.
In short, I'm saddened to be so sick & tired of the self centered thieve's SOP who're running & ruining this nation.
...& not nearly enough give a damn to slow 'em down even a little.
See y'all tomorrow...MUD
On behalf of the others, I say "Thank You!!"
LOL...MUD
Hey, I hollered "Jeff" a few times but you refused to acknowledge me...MUD
The code word is Fenton. If you arrive late ask for the Fenton party. If you arrive first inform the hostess that you are the Fenton group and ask for a table for nine.
It's just a code. I don't think anyone here is named Fenton.
