"Who led these elitists to believe it's all about THEM?"

It was me.
I am sorry.

I served eight years in the armed forces, voted for Reagan, celebrated the winning of the cold war and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and then, I took a nap.
I was really tired.I really needed the rest.I thought I could relax and ignore the rest of the world for a time.I thought I could have a personal life,and let my fellow Americans deal with victory.
I was wrong.
I am sorry I let everyone down.
I am too old to actually fight a war now.The only thing I can do to mitigate my guilt, for my selfish longing for rest, is to speak out and "protest" those who had planned all along to take advantage of my weariness.
Thank God, there are those who did not rest, and those young men and women who did not sleep,but prepared themselves to carry a burden I thought ended.
I am fully awake now.
I will never sleep peacefully again.
God,
Please forgive me for my selfish desire to rest.Please let me have the chance to change the results of my bad judgement,before my child has to pay the price for my errors in judgement!

Don't feel so bad. I don't even know "where" I went
in the years following Reagan's presidency!

I was newly-married when Clinton became President.
I don't have ONE single memory of being upset
about it, or having any urge to be an Anti-Clinton
activist!

It wasn't until just a few years ago that I woke-up from
my slumber. Watching Larry Nichols fabulous video, "The Clinton Cronicles" caused me to open my eyes a bit, and then the news that the Government had killed innocents at WACO by using flamable-tear gas jolted me awake even more.

George Putnam's TALK BACK radio show (now on KPLS AM 830 noon-2pm) caused me to completely wake up because of his fabulous guests: Larry Nichols, Larry Klayman, Carl Limbacher, Matt Drudge, Chris Ruddy etc.

I've been ALERT ever since.

George Putnam has been on the Radio for over 40 years saying what we only "figured out" in the last few years!

Thank goodness for the Patriots
We're sorry we took so long to listen.

Amen, I think we all got complacent in '92 and let Juanita Broddericks accused rapist ooze into the White House. Unfortunately we're all paying for that now. Hopefully we've collectively learned from our mistake.
