Not every President is going to be a Reagan. President Reagan was . After saying that, 41 was a decent President. Yeah, “Read My Lips, No New Taxes” was a huge mistake. But he was splendid in managing the end of the Cold War by making sure the collapsing Soviet Union wasn’t provoked into keeping the Iron Curtain intact. Oh, expelling Saddam out of Kuwait and not invading Iraq to eliminate the dictator was the right move as well, IMHO.
Well, I won’t give you any grief over that. My take on him wasn’t all that bad, but I will couch that with the fact that coming out of Reagan’s terms, I hadn’t been awakened by Clinton yet.
I learned a lot from the antics under Clinton. If I were to go back and live through 41’s term again, I might see it quite differently.
For instance, there were some globalist organizations set up while he was on watch. I think some of those were a huge mistake. His One World Order speech didn’t leave much doubt about his true loyalties. We see that more and more these days.
How do you live through the trying times that man lived through, and not grasp internationalist traps? Joining together during times of war is entirely different than doing it by design in peace-time, and that will serve to hobble us.
Of course his new taxes was a pin in the eye too, as you mentioned.
His sons don’t get it either. They’re all thrilled we’re propping China up, and allowed the third world to swamp us.
Who needs ‘supposed’ enemies when you have friends like this?
