Pat, you’re almost there too when you talk about the 21st Century.
But you bring up the past like it was yesterday—Nixon froze wages 41—thats FORTY-ONE—years ago.
To a huge number of voters, that was before they were born! Heck, half of them never even saw Ronald Reagan on live TV. Clinton is the first president they can remember thinking about.
The America that used to be is a figment of us older voter’s memories.
Can we envision and articulate an America that is yet to be, an America that’s even BETTER than what she used to be?
Can we do so with the Big Media Democratic Party against us?
No, not with the current crop of “leaders” in the GOP.
So I’m not all doom and gloom. I’m just resigned to the fact that while I type away at this keyboard, I’m not doing much more than any of these GOP leaders.
Things have got to change, but I’m not up to being part of the change.
I do salute both you and Bray for standing up and being involved, so I’ll defer to your collective leadership...
To paraphrase Princess Leia, “Help us Fistalk/Bray (and activists like you—not the GOP), you’re our only hope!”
Speaking of mispelling your name and attempting to correct it here FisHtalk, got me thinking about Phsstpok.
I wish he could weigh in with some of his wisdom once in a while!
Nixon froze MY wages. Why?
Point is, yeah most voters don’t remember this. Point is, the pubs, they get talked into most any silly thing.
Remember how they convinced the very, very dumb HW Bush that he had to raise taxes even though he did that “read my lips” thing.
41 years, huh?
The pubs have been wrong for that long cause freezing someone’s wages should NEVER have been part of any Republican’s agenda.
My point is.....it’s not like they’ve been right or anything. Given a chance the pubs lie down like tired dogs, roll over and do what the other party tells them to do.
And don’t forget the air bags. Republicans called air bags a form of communism.
Snort.
