Any president today who doesn't create solid asnger in 30% of the population is giving the wrong people too much of what they want. Specifically, I want anyone who voted for the Clintons to be undergoing grand mal seisures.

Wow, thanks for the laugh! You're absolutely right. Consensus is consistent with sprawling government. Problems never get solved, and government has to keep growing so that the problem can be managed in perpetuity.

There is an old proverb going back sever thousand years: "He who never made and enemy, never made a friend." In order for a president to avoid making enemies with certain people with views diametrically opposed to mine, he will need to betray and insult me. The fact that Reagan evoked paroxisms of rage in certain groups of people who hated by guts didn't bother me at all, while it also ensured absolute support from others like me. If Reagan had had a 90% approval rating, I couldn't have supported him in '76 and voted for him twice for president.
