Ronald Reagan: My 'Hero' & 'Role Model'
By Gordon Bishop (10/26/07)
Ronald Reagan was the most popular President of the 20th Century. He also changed the map of the world during his two-term landslide victories in the 1980s.
Reagan ended the Cold War by defeating the “Evil Empire” – the Soviet Union. (Liberals asked Reagan to stop calling the Soviet Union the “Evil Empire” because the Far Left loved the Soviet Union lifestyle – their vision of the future.)
Reagan also saved America’s economy by stopping liberal-socialist politicians from bankrupting the government with excessive, socialist “entitlements.”
Regan had a name for his Save America Campaign: “Reaganomics.”
It worked!
The “Great Communicator” signed the largest tax cut in America history into law on August 13, 1981 at his California retreat, Rancho del Cielo.
The 1981 Economic Recovery Act reduced taxes across the board by 26 percent, leading to unprecedented economic growth which we still enjoy today.
What made Reagan such a popular leader was his ability to relate to “the people?” He understood the American people and how to reach them, from the bottom up.
Reagan was a trained actor and starred in scores of movies, falling in love with one of his co-stars, Nancy Reagan. It was a marriage made in heaven. They filled the White House with love and kindness, unlike their successors, Bill and Hillary Clinton, our first dysfunctional family that left the White House in shambles when they moved out, along with a lot of Presidential silverware, dinnerware and furnishings paid for by the taxpayers of America.
So much for Clintonian “leadership.”
Clinton also impacted the youth of America with his gross declaration that “Oral sex is not sex.” So teenagers took his advice. Clinton wrecked our values and traditions, leaving behind a legacy of selfish instant gratification. “Go for it! – forget the consequences.”
And Clinton’s reckless spouse now wants to be the next President of the United States? Where was Hillary when her husband was playing around with any available woman in the Democrat party?
America’s liberal mainstream media ignored and protected the Clintons, regardless of their bad behavior, simply to hold “power” over the USA.
The liberal socialists perverted and polluted politics in a country already veering down the road to Sodom & Gomorrah since the sickening Cultural-Sexual Revolution of the 1960s that climaxed with Woodstock in 1969: Open sex, drugs and carnage.
Today, we live in a land of pornography, pedophiles and “Anything Goes!” As long as “it feels good, Do It!” is the chant of today’s free, uninspiring spirits.
But freedom requires accountability and responsibility. There are no more consequences for bad behavior. Do whatever you want and hope you don’t get caught.
America needs another Reagan Role Model!
Frankly, I don’t see anyone on the horizon who’s willing to stand up for what’s right! That takes courage – and patriotism. There are too many leftist citizens who hate America and want to see it collapse. They are the negative defeatists who stand for NOTHING, except their own corrupt desires.
How much longer do you think this one great society can continue down the path to socialism and Marxism – a godless, classless society that demands the redistribution of wealth?
Welcome, Stalin, Chairman Mao and the other communist dictators who want to control the world with their godless sectarian agenda.
America has reached the crossroads in the early 21st Century. Do we, the working class voters and taxpayers, really want to be like the fallen Soviet Union or a society run by the likes of a Castro on our neighboring isle of Cuba?
We’re still the greatest society in the world because he still have enough believers to overcome the negative nonbelievers who demand freedom without responsibility.
