Quote:I was shopping today and saw a pickup truck with a bumper sticker that featured a picture of Ronald Reagan and a caption reading "Avenge Me!", surrounded by other stickers featuring standard Tea Party rhetoric, most of the "Take Our Country Back!" variety. Oh, the irony. If Ronnie Raygun was president today, they would be all over him for being too moderate and pro-government.

Ain't that the truth. It is completely forgotten what Reagan's roots were and where he came from.


The main problem I see is that people treat politics like a team sport instead of addressing issues. That, and people want to BRAND someone with a label and not look past it.


That's why you have idiots suing the POTUS for delaying implementation of a law they are against to begin with.


That's why you have people screaming "IMPEACHMENT!" Yet they cannot iterate a rational specific reason why.


That's why NOTHING gets done in Congress, and they cannot even agree within their own parties.


That's why they are complaining about the POTUS overusing executive authority, then stating the border and immigration problem is a issue he'll have to address himself.



Reagan's and other successful Presidents greatest ability was moving to the middle and getting stuff done.


Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else get YOUR way. Both sides have failed in this respect, although I tend to put more blame on the Right as it sits today as they can't agree on anything in their own party,making it impossible to begin to get anything done.
