Hope this vanity is okay. I had to make the comparison.
I just want to make sure I'm clear here. When you say Jackie Robinson was a Republican, do you mean Jackie Robinson or Jack E. Robinson? I just want to make sure I'm clear.
I can't argue with that stat. Unemployment was also over 10%, as were interest rates.
I remember those days. Undergrad in college; ROTC was spat on by faculty and students alike; Leftist intellectual snobbery in every classroom.
And the President was always there. Leading by example.
In four short years, it was once again, a thing of honor to wear my uniform. You could fly the flag; you could pray; you could feel optimism in the very air.
There's a lot of that again, these days, but the damage by William the Impeached and half of America will take another Reagan to repair. I'm thinking.
