Twenty-Eight Years Ago-Have We Lost Our Way?
December 25, 2009 by Save America
On this day twenty-eight years ago Ronald Reagan held office and was nearing the end of his first year in office. He held office exactly the same length of time as Obama.
Although his approval rating was at 49%, he believed America’s better days where ahead and the country needed itself to correct, not more government. America was in a deep recession, just as it is now…… and yet today our President believes the country needs more government, bigger unions and less of America to be saved.
Listen closely to President Reagan and try to listen for the rhetoric of today, problems from a previous administration, another catastrophe awaiting a bailout. As you listen to him speak, you won’t hear any sounds of apology for America. He speaks of America’s greatness, liberty and freedom. He is a proud America who embraces and celebrates the American family and faith. He understands and speaks of America’s exceptionalism. Granted, today is a different era of politics with a new terrorism. I’ll bet Reagan would approach Gitmo and the likes in a different fashion. For that matter……terrorism may never have reared its ugly head.
Few could come anywhere near Ronald Reagan. What are the odds we will ever hear Barack Obama speak of America with these principals? We have a new generation now, many of which have no idea of the greatness President Reagan instilled in the American hearts.
We wish you a very Happy New Year. Let 2010 be a year each of us takes a stand to fight for this great nation, to renew this pride and return our government to its days of patriotic greatness.
