Wonder if this twit realizes The United States was founded by those with a vision thing?
HA! That was their attempt at 'relating' to the proletariat scum. These bastids don't discuss 'issues' at the kitchen table... they do it at cocktail parties.
Sadly it is not just the 'Rats and Old Europe who push this. Far to many on our side are just as big a bunch of defeatist.
They have the idea that we can not win, things will not get better, all we can do is maintain. I take comfort in two facts, they were wrong before about the Cold War (aka WWIII) and that they are a dying breed.
Go back and read some of the stuff from the seventies and eighties. The USSR was this big unstoppable boogie monster that was going to eat the whole world and there was nothing we could do about it.
They were wrong then, they are wrong now.
That phrase was coined by my former Governor- Zell Miller- and promptly, ahem! "borrowed" by our Rat friends in 1998, as I recall. They didn't even give him credit for it. Thieving SOBs...
This is what amazes me about the democrats. For all their talk about "progressivism," when was the last time they had a bold idea?
*shudders*
The vision thing:
Some see things as they are, and ask WHY?
I see how things could be, and ask Why Not?
---Bobby Kennedy.
Truman saw a democratic, free Western Europe...
Reagan saw a democratic, free Eastern Europe...
Bush sees a democratic, Free Near East.
Why not?
It is more than that. What is happening is truely amazing. First, the label "moron" and "stupid" etc. are rapidly vanishing from the lexicon of the left re: Bush. But more astonishing, the left is actually starting to complain that Bush is the visionary, while they are the pragmatists.
The whole history of the democrats, at least since I have been politically aware, is bursting with their condescending arrogance that they offer vision of the future, that they see the world as it might be, a glowing vision of the future if they are in charge.
Now, seemingly over night, it is the republicans and Bush that are being insulted for being visionary and the democrats strenuously arguing for the status-quo.
Bush will be regarded as one of the all time great Presidents.
Naysayers, all. It is they who lack vision.
All they want is for the world to stew in their socialist juices and they are upset because America is refusing to do so.
