What a load of crock. How short sided so many of you seem to be. During the Reagan presidency hundreds of thousands in Europe would protest his visits fearing that his policies and ideals were bringing the world closer to the brink of destruction. Well guess what, the masses were ignorant and full of it!!! Reagan did not destroy the world as they proclaimed, instead he took the threat of global nuclear war off the table.
People throughout the world have always envied and protested Americans. We seem to be such cocky cowboys to them. Yet time and again they rely upon us to help solve their problems.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
