Here the man has died. He brought an end to communism. He lowered taxes. He was a good and decent man. How C-Span can allow ugly phone calls, on the very day this man has died, is beyond me.
Sometimes I despair. The haters are taking over the country.
Much as I dislike Clinton, and with good cause considering his selling of national security secrets to China and North Korea, I must remember never to act like the leftists. They are ugly people, down to their very souls.
I don't hate President Clinton. Never did. Revile him, yes. But in the long reach of things, Clinton will be a footnote in history. He isn't worth the energy it takes to hate him. On the other hand, Ronald Reagan already towers over world history in a way only a handful of others ever have or will. His was a most warm and optimistic spirit. We who walk in his footsteps and carry forward his legacy must keep our chins up and avoid gutter politics now.
I know. The Left does not represent the majority of the people of this country. God Bless President Reagan and God Bless America.
"The haters are taking over the country"
NO THEY'RE NOT!!
I'll prove it to you. Rush gave these stats some time back and I have never forgotten them. During the American Revolution, there were 3 groups of people. 33% wanted to break away from England; 33% didn't; and the last 33% didn't really give a rip one way or the other.
Today that same 3 groups still exists. So - the angry people are probably LESS THAN 33%. Does that help ..??
Hey Peach, don't despair. You are a frequent poster and I love your posts. Some of us are not so eloquent and lurk most of the time.
The haters are not taking over. It's just part of the lamestream media and they're being a shill for the haters.
We, the silent majority, are alive and well and ready to pull the lever for President Bush in November.
That said, I tied a black ribbon around the top of my flag tonight and lit a candle in the window. The libs in my neighborhood be damned. I feel so much gratitude and sorrow.
My husband is a Johhny Come Lately conservative (last 10 years) and before that was apathethic. Glad I turned him around.
President Reagan influenced me so much, along with my grandparents and parents, we're leaving this dung hole of Minneapolis to seek a better life in the countryside.
My 7 year old son deserves so much better than he is being spoon-fed daily, which I have to counteract daily.
"President Reagan, I thank you for instilling in me the conviction to do what I know is right. That short term pleasures and conveniences are negligible. I am leaving all that I know, but feel strong in my conviction
Peach, we're out here, and justice will prevail.
