If things continue the way they are and we are not culturally overrun the younger generation is fixing to get their “Carter Years” multiplied.
If you were 60 when you voted for Reagan in 1980 it means you were 21 on Dec. 7, 1941
And, I most likely am dead now.
If you were 55 or 60 years old in 1980 when Reagan ran, you’re dead now,” said Moore. “They’re not alive. They left. And when they left, you know, things got better.”
This man absolutely turns my stomach. What a moral deficient piece of cr@p he is.
Hopefully soon. How this fat bastard is still vertical is beyond me.
“Actual Reagan voters are now much older and dying”
I might be older than you but at 62 I’m not old at all AND I voted for Reagan both times.
The fatass is another socialist who would like to see an uprising among the conservative states and conservatives.
If the second revolution begins, don’t worry mikey, I’ll be at the front line that takes you into custody, confiscates 100% of your ill-gotten assets and then deports you like the loyalists of the first revolution.
Michael the moron speaks!
It is something I related in a eulogy for a shipmate of mine I served with years ago who passed away this last week...
He and I both thought, at one time, we would both die with our boots on...It seems that will probably not happen though...;-)
Be it the Silent Majority, the Christian Coalition, or the Reagan Democrats, the folks who supported traditional American values, are vanishing from the landscape. How many Americans alive today have a living relative who have first hand memory with the actual experience of hardship and sacrifice during the Great Depression or the Second World War. Not many I believe. Events shape national character, and when those events fade from living memory, so does the national character we cherish. America's relative peace and prosperity since 1946 has set the stage for the leftists to prosper.
Ahem.....
So are you, fat a%%!
As are the Carter and Johnson voters. And the FDR voters are all but gone, though their lessons in misery apparently need to be re-learned.
When conservatives finally have had enough and unite, MM will wish someone as kind hearted as Reagan would return to save him from us.
Re: King Eglon, book of Judges.
Michael Moore, born 1954, forgets just who it was that ended segregation.
He does sort of have a point. "Reagan Democrats" are fading. They either became Republicans or died or both. Sort of like the "GOP Establishment" who either became Democrats or died or left politics.
Nowadays, GOP-e doesn't mean Rockefeller or Scranton or Saltonstall or Lodge. It means some guy with a few years at state college who volunteered for Bush or Dole or McCain and ended up 10 or 20 years later with a lobbying job and a gig on cable television, or else somebody who wrote for a conservative student paper at Cornell or Dartmouth or U Chicago, who's moved on to National Review or The Weekly Standard. Maybe that's elitist, but it sure isn't the Rockefellers or Vanderbilts or Whitneys.
In any case, those Reagan Democrats are gone, and now, for the first time in a long time, the Democrats have more party loyalty than Republicans and are more likely to poach votes from us than we are from them. It's a lot less likely now that there is some great pool of conservative voters out there who don't vote or don't vote for Republicans who would be galvanized and brought to the polls by a conservative nominee.
McCain was the exception to that list of who supported Reagan in 1980, at least in the article that you are using.
Romney of course, was so anti-Reagan that he actually left the party, eventually in the 1990s coming to be a supporter and fund-raiser, and voter for democrats, before reregistering republican and investing 55 million dollars to take over the GOP, something that he accomplished in only 20 years, with disastrous results.
"What does this have to do with Ronald Reagan? As Dan McLaughlin pointed out, every Republican Presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan opposed Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election except John McCain. Think about that for a minute. Every nominee of the party cast by the media as an insane fringe of conservatives actually opposed, from the left, Ronald Reagan in 1980."

My Prayers have been answered.
I have been desperately searching for a reason to live...
