Reagan Reagan had a gift. He was truly a great communicator. When I listen to or watch Reagan's speeches and then hear the media yammer about what an effective communicator Barack Obama is, I just have to shake my head. The media took the same kind of shots at Reagan throughout his career that they would take if he were running for president this year. They constantly attributed his leadership ability to his acting background and never gave him credit for being a visionary leader with a keen mind and a sharp wit. Reagan in his prime would have wiped the floor with Obama in a campaign.

Our uh...uh current...ah...president pales in...uh...comparison because his mixed messages...uh...make no sense and are punctuated with...uh...uhmm...too many...pauses...filled with...uhs and...ahs..and way too many Is. mys, and mines. He tries to sound like a deep thinker but the content of what comes out of his mouth bears no semblance of deep thought. Reagan was truly a uniter who inspired hope and trust in a solid majority of Americans.

The liberals are living out a role. Just like guys who throw their lives away riding in a bike gang until their body fails them, or folks that walk around dressed up like cowboys, or people who spend their days jousting at the park ala the knights of King Arthur's court. Like they're living their lives out in a movie and, their greatest fan is or course, themself. For instance, noone likes the sound of their own voice more that Obama. He totally loves to hear himself talk. Liberals have espoused, a lifestyle philosophy which, in their own minds, is a higher calling. They therefore aspire to be benevolent, imagining themselves to be almost godlike, as they reach out to help the deprived in the 'brotherhood of man'.

True wisdom, which ironically is entirely ascertainable in institutions of higher learning, through the written works of men gone on before. Goes unheaded and ignored, in favor of the absurdities and dictates of the whimsical fancies of those who arrogantly have proclaimed themselves to be wise, in advocating the notions of something called, social justice. Obama finds himself in this camp. The discipline required to become a leader in the prusuit of this dubious cause is minimal. All one must needs do to be on the cutting edge of social justice is to roll over on everything America stood for up until 'modern American liberalism' began making inroads to control society. In this form of liberalism we must include Theodore Roosevelt's New Nationalism, Woodrow Wilson's New Freedom, Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, John F. Kennedy's New Frontier, and Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society. It combines social liberalism with support for social justice and a mixed economy. American liberal causes include voting rights for African Americans, abortion rights for women, gay rights and government entitlements such as education and health care. Additionaly, the Keynesian economic theory has played a central role in the economic philosophy of American liberals. The argument has been that national prosperity requires government management of the macroeconomy, to keep unemployment low, inflation in check, and growth high.

If one considers the step by step assault of the policies BHO has implimented since his inaguration, one sees that not much in the way of imagination is required to understand why this administration governs like a monarchy, rather than representatives of a republic. I don't accept the validity of eastern mysticism but, one could definitely make a good case for reincarnation or at least spiritual visitation, when one considers the similarities among the modern liberal presidents listed above. I just hope we can survive the combined legacy of their administrations, especially the last one. Of all those listed none has so little respect for the country and the seperation of powers as does the Obama administration. We truly need some time to de-tox. We must have a return to sanity this fall to survive.
