It's amazing what leading by example teaches those being led. I had the priviledge of learning what it means to be an American under one of America's greatest presidents, Ronald Reagan. Mr Reagan had a profound influence on millions of Americans and was respected and feared around the world. No hollow hogswallow emanated from the oval office in those days. Matter of fact, the Ayatolla Khomeini sent those hostages right on home, allowing themselves a comfortable time margin before Mr Reagan could legally put his finger on the trigger of our land's armed forces. Nobody doubted he would fulfill his threat to take Khomeini off at the ankles for the atrocities committed against America and those being held hostage.
Mr Reagan nominated Robert Bork to the SCOTUS. Within 45 minutes of Robert Bork's nomination to the Court, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) took to the Senate floor with a strong condemnation of Bork in a nationally televised speech, declaring, "Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens."[Wiki]
I watched Bork's confirmation hearing and I can tell you he got railroaded. That's when I began to realize the dems have something other than the "common good" up their sleeve. Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy took the lead in the character assassination of a man who was arguably the greatest jurist of our time. In the ultimate twist of irony, we now see an artist languishing in jail having been falsely charged by the present democrat led administration, with causing riots in the middle east by the production of a video. Of course, every word Kennedy spoke was a lie but then, the dems seem to think they have the right to lie about anything they want to.
Joe Biden deprived America of the services of Robert Bork and is now in a position to severely limit the right of Americans to own guns. While it is true, a majority of Americans whether dead, alive, legal or illegal, and citizens or not, voted for Obama, (at least once) in the last presidential election, we cannot allow the court to be shaped by these same parasites. But to say Obama got an overwhelming majority? :please: And I would just set the record straight about something else. I know a lot of folks that are older. Many of them are straight arrows who love their country, these folks worked their whole lives for every dime they have and many are ex-militay as well. Unfortunately, these folks would vote a straight democrat ticket even if Satan himself was running for office. There wouldn't be any sense in trying to explain to them how far left their party has veered off course, or the abortion issue, or any of the rest of it. The party they have trusted to represent their concerns for their entire lives has fallen under the control of the loons but, they either can't or won't see it. One's trust is only as good as the person or organization in which that trust is placed. In the old days, we could depend on the personal integrity of those running for office, now, with the the infiltration of every off the wall special interest group in existence into the democrat side of the aisle, that is no longer the case. Therefore, though immovable, their trust is misplaced.
America's best bet now is the midterms of 2014.
