Who is and Who isn't....

Pat posted this from Hardball1911 at his site...it's well worth the read. Here is an excerpt...

Let’s talk effort, participation in an effort, who is, and who isn’t.

Where to begin? Let’s see. First and foremost, I have never claimed that I am even close to the smartest person on earth, and neither have I claimed to know her. I know it is “her”, because men are just too stupid to be the smartest person on earth. Otherwise, we wouldn’t buy stupid things like vacuum cleaners for Mother’s Day, pots and pans for Christmas, or those stupid assed teddy bears that cost $60 that have nothing to do with our true personalities or those stupid pajama grams that really don’t do anything for HER but instead help us to get all excited about making “the face” after slapping her ass and saying the completely wrong thing…But I digress
It has been rather apparent in the last few decades, at least, that our very way of life in America has been under fire from within our own borders; and from a concentrated effort to change the way we live, the way we think, the things we hold dear, and the freedoms that we enjoy. Let me explain my train of thought: (As though you could change my mind.)
We have watched the political process in this country change from the founder’s intended methods to methods involving deception, cheating, and fraud. These changes haven’t gone unnoticed, but they have gone fairly well unchallenged. I am not talking one party, either. It is the entire process that has been over run with the contempt for the average citizen and disregard for truth and law.
We watched as one of the greatest two term Presidents this country has known was dragged through the mud, day after day, and repeatedly attacked for his courage and wisdom as being a war monger, a harbinger of fear, and many other things. I am not talking about George W. Bush. I am talking about Ronald Reagan. In his two terms as our President, he was often bashed as being senile, overbearing, etc. Name it, they called him that. Yet with the hindsight of twenty years, his policies brought about a fundamental change to the way our society in America went about daily business. We went from having our children practicing bomb drills in our schools’ hallways and watching oppressed peoples in defeated countries deal with communism and tyranny with sympathy in our hearts to a world where the communist models had been proven to be not only ineffective, but an outright lie as to their potential. We watched as walls fell and a country disintegrated because of failed policies and harsh totalitarianism. All due to the confrontation that Ronald Reagan placed in their laps.
