America is getting the huge bump, and Bush is a metaphor for that spirit which cannot ever die. Reagan optimism has been dormant until this weekend.
Please read TigersEye's home page, and be sure you are feeding the right wolf. RonDog...please add me to your ping list. Thank you
So true! And there's not a thing the Dims can do about it ... except look mean and petty. Ronald Reagan believed that America's hope lay in its constant renewal and underlying that is the basic American optimism that he tapped into. Renewal and optimism are antithetical to leftist ideology. This loss, this final farewell to the "Great Communicator", will create a great yearning in Americans for a return to the sense of vigor Ronald Reagan instilled in this nation. Americans will seek to relive that in any way they can. Voting for Bush, joining the military, volunteering for campaigns, going to church and a thousand other positive activities that give people a feeling that "I'm an American and I can make a difference."
The "Reagan Revolution" wasn't about Ronald Reagan and he never intended it to be. It's about America. That is why it succeeded and that is why it will live long after this day. The "Reagan Revolution" was never anything more than a manifestation of the American Revolution. His life was an homage to that. God bless Ronald Reagan!
