G.W. has definitely done his share of gross spending.

GW thinks he should guard the cookie jar zealously--to make sure the right people are stealing from it!:rotfl:And now all parties fight not over how to protect our freedoms, but over how best to loot the cookie jar. A republican form of government (we are not a democracy and hopefully will never become one) cannot survive elected officials who see the highest and best use of the national treasury as a resource buy votes.

Where are John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan when we need them? Just read these words and wonder who could have said such "foolish" things:

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge—and more.

We're a bunch of yellow-livered girlie men, unwilling to pay the price of freedom. Well, we're destined not to have it on either side of the Atlantic unless we can reverse our course and realize that our freedoms have a higher source than government and a higher price than cash.

No politico dares to utter the above words today. He would be laughed at.

This campaign message was paid for by Citizens for Foolishness and is foolishly endorsed by Rockin Robbins, candidate for court jester.
