Stating the Obvious, It’s Sort of My Thing…
Yesterday was the birthday of one of the greatest presidents we have ever had. Regardless of your politics to deny Ronald Reagan his achievements and what he represented to this world is simply living your life with your head firmly buried in your ass. As I watch the inaugural speech Dave in Texas was kind enough to link yesterday I find myself looking around on youtube for a copy of Fuknut’s speeches, you know the ones that everyone proclaims him to be so fucking articulate in. I cannot find a single one that can stand up against this one. Where is the gravitas? Where is the fucking passion for making this country great? It simply doesn’t exist anymore in our government. There is a line in this speech from Reagan where he talks of the price of freedom often being very high, but we the American people have never been afraid to pay it. It was true then, and I believe with the exception of the pussies in charge, it is still true. The problem? It is now considered a great evil to think this way. Understanding freedom, self reliance, and thinking for yourself is actually considered narrow minded just 30 short years after this speech was given. How do things change so fast?
People always talk about the Hope and Change of Fuknut. All I hear is doom, gloom, pessimism, and scolding. You should listen to this speech if you are my age you will remember it as a child, if you are older you will remember it as literally what Hope and Change is suppose to be, if you are young and have never heard Reagan speak, then please listen to this and maybe you will understand what all of us “old folks” are so damn pissed off about.
The Left would have you believe we are all the harbingers of doom, negativity, and the unenlightened world view. The reality? We are all that is left of the optimism of America. Reagan was many things, but foremost me, he was an optimist. He believed unwaveringly in the intrinsic good of Americans and held dear faith that freedom would always win over tyranny. The act of optimism in the face of the world he inherited is a staggering achievement. To believe so wholeheartedly that this nation is great enough to overcome one of the worst economic times in modern history is the epitome of Hope and Change.
We live once again in a political climate where elected leaders believe they can tax us into prosperity. I had one of those light bulb moments earlier when I was thinking about what to write here. You know, one of those, “Well duh, jennifer” moments. You know why they think they can tax us into prosperity? Why they think that bloating the government is going to give us prosperity? Well, I will tell you if you are slow on the uptake like me today. It isn’t that they are being stupid. It isn’t that they think all this taxation and government spending is going to push us back to a robust and growing economy. Helloooo, that isn’t what they want. Their prosperity doesn’t include any of those things. It is as many more eloquent people have been saying for decades, prosperity to the Liberal mind is about dependence not independence. It is about regulation not free markets and economies. It is about fitting in not rising above. Success is not judged by doing extraordinary things; success to the Liberal is celebrating mediocrity. It is about everyone getting a trophy just for showing up, not for winning, not for excellence. It is about providing excuses for failure instead of incentives for success. It is about being beta not alpha. It is about nothing ever being special.
I miss special things. I miss the celebration of special people. Barak Obama is not fucking special! Let me say it again in case someone out there didn’t hear me scream it. HE. IS. NOT. FUCKING. SPECIAL! He is average in the worst possible way. He is not a beacon of hope unless the hope you have in your heart is to live in a world which celebrates mediocrity and being like everyone else. Gee, I know I raise my children everyday with they hope that they will be just like all their friends.
The left revels in the creativity of Hollywood and the Arts, but when you think about it, I mean really think about it, there is an abysmal lack of creativity coming out of the so called Artistic Communities. Movies for example, today’s blockbusters are loaded with the political apologist point of views veiled in spiffy artistic effects and bright shiny things to distract us from the glaring message, “Americans are evil tyrants who live only to subjugate that which is different and they do not understand.” Well, fuck you. Seriously, go fuck yourself and the self righteous horse you rode in on.
I am sick and fucking tired of your message of doom and gloom. The sky is falling and if we do not open our minds and our pocket books in support of the Cult of Mediocrity then we will all perish. Again, fuck you.
This country, not the politicians, not the media, the actual country defined as the people who live in it, who pay the bills, who get up everyday and go to work, raise children, pray for strength and patience… well this country is starting to wake up. It is rumbling and grumbling. It is getting pissed off and the shit is going to hit the proverbial fan. We are not the problem, we are the solution. We are the greatness that is America, not a bunch of sheep following the shepherd of the Beta is Best Ideology.
Happy Birthday Ronnie, you were The Shit and you are greatly missed.

He hopes to change us into euro-weenies. That is where all that crap comes from. It seems to me that half of europe despises the other half routinely. We don’t need to join their little socialist party. But I’d be glad to give him full citizenship anywhere but here.

Absolutely spot on! I am so sick of the “elite” making fun of us and those who speak for these “old-fashioned” ideals of self-reliance, individuality, liberty and justice, I am not going to take it anymore! Silently, anyway.

That was a lame rant,.,.,fuck Reagan!!! Reagan conservatives are the worst kind of hypocrites next to Obama.
Your republican messiah was one of the first to start this massive increase in deficit spending (as a pretext for expanding/stimulating the economy) and was the steak in the heart, that officially sold this country out to corporate fascism.
Obama is the fruit created from the seeds Reagan sowed in our politics emphasizing this corporatism. For example, the current healthcare bill looks like it was written by insurance and big pharma lobbyists. (rather than being falsely characterized as this “huge govt take over”.)
btw the tea parties are not a big deal. You claim to hate stupidity and ignorance, well then, I dont know how you can spend 5 min at a tea bag rally.
“git yur gov hands off my medicare”
ha ha ha
...and I love all the pissed off farmers at these rallys bitching about their govt subsidies.
The memory of Reagan is that of a mythological character that bares no resemblance to reality or the facts…kind of like jesus, lol

Great article! I was 17 years old in 1984 during Reagan’s re-election. I wish I was old enough to vote back then, because I would’ve voted for Reagan without hesitation. I remember how bad things were before he got elected in 1980, thanks to the second worst president in our nation’s history: James Earl Carter.
