 The acting??? Come now. His ideas have been well documented thanks to Skinner, Andersen and Anderson. Many date back to the 1960's and 1970's all written in his own hand. The amiable dunce he was not, he has proven all doubters wrong about being an actor following a script. The ideas were his own, and he was smart enough to allow others to provide the details. Carter tried to micromanage everything and what happened during his administration? Does a double digit misery index ring a bell???
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
