US Ready for Another Reagan

Just as in 1980, after Jimmy Carter set this nation in a direction that would see our citizens held hostage over 400 days by Iranian Islamic extremists, gas prices soar, oil become scarce, and interest rates that made Mob interest rates more attractive, America is ready for another Ronald Reagan to come and rescue us from certain demise.

The problem is, who is our Ronald Reagan? Who exemplifies the character, wit and ideals that Reagan brought to the Presidency? Who is that conservative patriot waiting in the wings on their white horse ready to arrive in the nick of time just like the cavalry?

It wasn't John McCain.

Mitt Romney brings a lot of those qualities to the table, but does he have the strength of character? Is he the staunch conservative that Reagan was? Where is Mitt Romney, anyway? Has anyone heard from him?

Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas, is a common sense conservative. He is steadfast in his beliefs. His economic ideas are good. He is an advocate of eliminating the IRS and instituting a "Fair Tax", which is a national sales tax. A radical idea to some, to others it is something that should have been done a long time ago.

Sarah Palin. Well, this lady had whipped up emotions that span the gamut from hatred to adoration. She is also conservative, with a down home common sense approach to governing. She speaks plainly in simple terms. Mrs. Palin fits the mold. She has a successful record of governing having run a city and then the entire state of Alaska. More than the current President has ever done.

We need someone with the backbone to stand and fight for American values. The current Oval Office occupant doesn't seem to have to desire to do that.

In the coming months, I pray that someone will emerge as the best candidate to come in , like Reagan, maybe the greatest President of our generation, and slam the brakes on this reckless ride into oblivion that the present administration and Democratic-led congress seems so adamant about bringing us on.

God bless you.

May God bless America with His grace and mercy.
