btw, I listen VERY well, and I'm a very conservative Christian. I'm just apparently not as sensitive and easily offended as you are, and at the ready to attack OUR side.LOL! You clearly have a credibility gap then. Because this president has shown that when he is criticized on the right that he is hyper-sensitive...and 'easily offended.' And he has shown no such compunction about disengenously attacking the Right...while meanwhile the treasonous Left practically has him tarred and feathered with villainous calumny...which he remains silent about. And then, without any sign of gratitude whatsoever, he then expects that same Right he has vilified with liberal aspersions to do all the heavy lifting defending him against Michael Moore, CBS and MoveOn.org, etc...
...and as President Reagan before him, believes in peace through strength. Praise the Lord!
I praise the Lord too, especially for Reagan, but not for those falsehoods about the current adminstration.
As far as this President believing in Peace through Strength, I will believe it when he reverses his slashing and destroying of our nuclear arsenal. When he starts restoring the nuclear triad, and stops ignoring the fact that the Russians, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, North Koreans, and Iranians are all busy deploying. The Chinese quite secretly. And deploys a missile defense which can do better than cover 1 or 2-degrees of azimuth. And restores our sadly eroded ASW capability. Re-capitalizes an aging AirForce's tankers and fighters, and Army heavy armor. Improves, rather than cutting, funding for the National Guard. He's had 6 years, and he isn't getting it done.
Reagan got it done.
You're one of those fuzzy memoried Reaganites who has conveniently forgotten where he failed to do what he promised, and had to compromise in the world of political reality.
Those of us who admire President Bush for his integrity, courage and moral strength are the same people who admired Reagan for those qualities, but we also remember the reality of his Presidency and not just the good parts.
It would behoove you to not use Reagan against Bush, as you confuse history with your nostalgia.
Let me also request that you not to mix your politics with faith...........that is not to say don't use your faith in politics, but you are doing it backwards. You are making spiritual determinations based on your political ideology, and not using your spiritual, God-breathed sense to assess the character of the man you are condemning here.
As long as you get your personal feelings and political opinions entwined with a rosy nostalgia for Reagan, you will never come up with an accurate assessment of who George W. Bush is.
(btw, you do know that TR signed on to Eugenics, don't you?)
Nice talking with you, Paul. Write your book..........but please don't write another one to me here, OK? I see where you're coming from, but my Christian worldview based on years of faith first and politics second, isn't meshing with your politics first approach to faith.
