Reagan promised to slash the size of government, scale back entitlements, and use the powers of the Presidency to pursue socially and culturally conservative goals. That he failed in keeping those promises didn’t hurt us or his legacy. Although, it can be argued, his amnesty did.
Personally, I think the Gipper would have made the same decision based on Constitutional law, as did FRed.
It’s NOT about kicking ass, nor getting even, or even teaching them a lesson, or do you forget?
It’s about governing, unifying, and healing the greatest Nation on earth. We need a steady hand, a calm demeanor, a person with the skills and tact to persuade his opponents to see things his way, not kick their asses into submission.
Those who would cast a vote for revenge, would surely cast away the hopes, and with it, the greatness of this Nation.
My Father fought for this Country, 2 of my Brothers fought for this Country, I fought for this Country, and my oldest Daughter has fought for this Country. I’d kind’a like to think it was worth it, and will always be so. If we go around electing folks based on revenge, it’ll be just like the Countries that we abhor.
“My Father fought for this Country, 2 of my Brothers fought for this Country, I fought for this Country, and my oldest Daughter has fought for this Country.”
BUMP to your whole family!
Anti-movements are for losers; all winners are pro-something. Without a system of ideas that are workable, and nothing but hate to guide us...we’re no better than communists. There system failed on so-many accounts, and they’re nothing but an ‘anti-capitalistic’ system. A void.
Like Fred said, we can’t just be anti-hillary, anti-dem...we can acknowledge our deep disconnect with them, but ultimately it’s our ideas and beliefs in which we have to stand by. If our leaders and ideas aren’t working for us, then all the anti-rhetoric won’t do a thing.
