History has shown us that nothing is impossible when real Americans put their minds to doing the impossible.
I agree, to a point. I am reminded of Zig Zigler talking about the power of positive thinking. He said it has its place but can be dangerous. At the time I heard him he was in his later years (he had to be helped on stage). He said NO amount of positive thinking could allow him, at that point, to be a professional basketball player. It wold be reasonable and prudent for a man in his condition to apply positive thinking to things that are actually attainable by someone like him.
And I look at our current situation similarly. I compare our current situation sometimes to the titanic, but here I’d like to compare it to a Greyhound bus driving down the freeway at 70 MPH. If, when Reagan was the “bus driver”, he saw trouble ahead, he could gently press the brakes and lower the speed (i.e. moderately change the tax law) with very positive results.
However, today the bus is going 70 mph and the driver looks up from his cell phone to see a collapsed bridge 50 feet ahead and a canyon 600 feet below. What do you suggest he does? Do you think replacing him with a different driver, say, Cain, will fix it?
To leave the analogy and go back to the real world: The passengers are on their own. In my case, I bought a farm in a rural area, left the city, got a tractor and implements, am building a very large sheet metal building for storage, work, etc., silver, gold, guns, ammo, and will try to protect those for whom I am responsible as best as I can.
The government is in way over their head and really can only watch the tires skid for 50’ before we plunge into the ravine still at almost full speed. Frankly, I get the feeling the guys in control right now are actually stepping on the gas and hoping we can do an Evel Knevel flight to the other side.
And I actually DO think we are going to go out in a blaze of glory, so to speak. It’s gonna be a big deal. The biggest deal in the history of mankind.
