Listen to a real American President

[Freewill]

So unlike what we have today.

 

[Old Rocks]

What we have today is far more like Reagan than the con man Trump.

 

[occupied]

Reagan was a great orator but he was not really that good of a president. Obama gives great speeches like this all the time, just as pre-written, just as patriotic, just as empty of actual substance, meant mainly to inspire but conservatives no longer want inspiration. They want a leader to tell them the world is a horrifyingly dangerous place and America has turned to crap.

So unlike what we have today.

OMG! Reagan? I'm going to vomit.

Do you not realize that what he said in this video is just an English translation from Breshnev during the USSR.

 

[GLASNOST]

Reagan was ... not really that good of a president. Obama gives great speeches like this all the time, just as pre-written, just as patriotic, just as empty of actual substance, meant mainly to inspire ......

Reagan WAS a con man.
He's why we have such a fucked up nation TODAY.

I guess I am just so out of touch with these people. Agreed that the world is a dangerous place, but not as horrifying so as the period in which we and the Soviets were constantly 30 minutes away from mutual annihilation. As far as America goes, I travel as much as time and money allows in this nation, and it is a beautiful place with so many good people. America never stopped being great.

Yes it is still a wonderful place to live and a country to be proud of. I get pretty tired of the people who somehow think they are the most patriotic Americans talking trash all the time. I do not understand how someone can think they are patriotic and yet hate the government and most of the people who live here.

There's that word HATE again. What is wrong with you people?

Maybe if you were alive during Carter then Reagan you would have seen and would know the difference Reagan made.

I remember very well Granny. Unlike you I have not participated in the extensive legacy polishing the right has engaged in since Reagan left office. He was not that good, he really wasn't.

And your opinion is just like an asshole, everybody has one you just have a real stinker...

 

[S.J.]

Reagan was the best President of the 20th century. We haven't seen a good one since.

This is why you lose.

America is NOT the government. The United States is NOT the government.

It really isn't that hard to understand.

This is why you are the loser you are. He really was. We don't have to polish is image....We have simply to counter-act the ongoing and massive effort of the left to tarnish it.

It really isn't that hard to understand.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863

We, the people of the United States are the government. When we, as a people, fail to understand the principles this nation was founded on, our government fails, and great injustices occur. When we operate within those principles, there is and has been no greater nation on the face of the earth.

You on the far right seek to absolve yourself of all responsibility for the governing of this nation, and seek to blame all your own vices and failures on others. You seek to scapegoat everyone else rather than improving your own characters. It is sad that you dislike your own nation so much.

Thanks for making My point for Me.

The United States is The People and conservatives hate way too many of their fellow Americans for any of their fervent devotion to the trappings of patriotism to mean a God damned thing. What good is getting all teary eyed when the anthem plays if you don't give shit about anyone who is not within your narrow little definition of a "real American"?
