It seems that all we hear right now is that there is a split in the Republican Party. I would hasten to remind you all that the ONLY times in recent memory that the Democrats have won control is when they can SPLIT the Conservative base. Wander with me on a stroll down Memory Lane, as we remember those Heady days of yesteryear. Presidents and his major accomplishments since I have been converting air, food, and water intro materials returned to the earth.
John F. Kennedy: Got us involved in Vietnam, Balked on Cuba, removed US Missiles from Greece and Turkey in exchange for ending the Cuban crisis while NEVER verifying that the USSR actually got the missiles out of Cuba.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Got us bogged down in Vietnam with NO exit strategy. Started the Great Society Welfare State. Started Affirmative Action. No socially redeeming qualities...always showing his scar.
Richard M. Nixon: Got us OUT of Vietnam, Started Detente, Started negotiations with China, Lowered Inflation, Lowered Unemployment, Started All-Volunteer Military, Resigned over covert operations to recover the STOLEN Pentagon papers from the office of Daniel Ellsberg's Psychologist, after either Ellsberg or the shrink leaked them to the press. Endured the first Nationally televised Democrat witch hunt. Resigned to avoid the scandal of impeachment.
Gerald R. Ford: Pardoned Nixon, reduced inflation to single digit for the first time since the end of World War Two. Served less than one full term. Not much time to do anything.
James E. "Jimmy" Carter: First President to be sworn in using a nickname. Military reduced to hollow force. Championed SALT 2 treaty, Gave back the Panama Canal, Canceled the B-1 bomber. Inflation jumps to 13%. United States media begin to track the "Misery Index," Interest rates hit 20%; welcomes the Shah of Iran does nothing when Iranian militants overrun the US Embassy in Iran and take US citizens hostage. US Military incapable of pulling off coordinated rescue mission. Generally considered to be the Worst Modern US President. Policies cause the Arab Oil Embargo, and gas lines. Served 4 years, screwed up the country worse in 4 years than was humanly conceivable.
Ronald W. Reagan: Recently selected Most influential American in History. Returned US Military to place of prominence in the world. Reduced inflation to single digits again. Got US hostages in Iran released. Shepherded in the largest economic boom in US History. Credited with Winning the Cold War. Defeated Communism. Democrats tried to destroy his presidency with Iran/Contra but had no evidence.
George H.W. Bush: Maintained Reagan Economic Growth. Won the Gulf War and Invasion of Panama. Saw the final collapse of the USSR. Defeated by a SPLIT in the Republican Party caused by business rival H. Ross Perot.
William J. "Bill" Clinton: Administration marked by highest level of corruption since the turn of the 20th Century. Sold Pardons, turned blind eye to terrorist threat after attack on the US in 1993. Appointed his wife to start a socialized medical program which fails miserably. First US President to be disbarred as a lawyer. Listed on register as a known sex offender. Clinton economic recovery ends in a bubble in the market ushering in largest recession since end of World War Two. Under his leadership US guidance systems for nuclear missiles end up in Communist China, concurrent with Communist China making donation to the Democratic National Committee. Used US Troop Movements to cover his moral lapses. Used the term "Mistakes were made" more than any president in US History. Trashed the white house when he left. Appointed more incompetent people than any president since Carter. Thought Josclyn Elders, Ruth Ginsberg and Henry Cisneros were good choices. Turned the Oval Office into the Oral Office. Brother Roger the felon, and brother in law Hugh "Jabba the Hut" Roddam profit from his eleventh hour Pardon Bonanza, as does the DNC and the Clinton Library, and Marc Ritch. Got the US Military involved for a 6 month peacekeeping/stabilization mission in the Balkans. US troops have been there over 10 years. Gave order to bomb an aspirin and a baby food factory thinking that there were weapons of mass destruction. Bombed the Chinese Embassy, replied that mistakes were made, Passes North American Free trade agreement, sending jobs to Mexico. Passed Assault rifle ban and witnessed trial litigation rise to highest level in history.
George W. Bush: Gave tax relief to average US Citizens, spurring economic recovery. Ushered in period of controlled economic growth. Education program requires teachers to be certified. Responded to the worst attack on the US since Pearl Harbor and first attack on the Continental US since the War of 1812 with the invasion and liberation of both Afghanistan and Iraq. Established the first representative democracies in history in the middle east. Surrounded himself with smart people. Administration has been the focus of Democratic witch hunts since his election in 2000. Gave contracts to Halliburton, after realizing that Halliburton was the only company equipped to do the job. Took action rather than giving a reaction. Has had to endure the ridicule of a Congress that has an even lower approval rate than any President in History. Scrutinized worse than any wartime president in United States History.
Since 1960, periods of Republican administrations are marked by Strength, and Stability. Democrats are plagued by incompetence and corruption. In my honest and humble opinion, there has NEVER been a Democrat, not even the esteemed Franklin Roosevelt, that was worth being a Dog Catcher. Democrats favor Big Government and Government Control. Political Correctness, Gay Rights, and gun control. Think of it this way. IF you want Socialism, vote for Democrats, and bring in an Orwellian society as in 1984....and Love Big Brother.
OR
Vote Republican, although they don't always follow the extreme Right Wing, where my chair is, but keep the Second Amendment, at the worst a moderate Court rather than a legislative court.
I can go to church where I want, and to answer Ronald Reagan's question, Yes, I am better off. We are better off with Republicans.
