   Old words for a new time –

   “They tell us we must learn to live with less, and teach our children that their lives will be less full and prosperous than ours have been; that the America of the coming years will be a place where — because of our past excesses — it will be impossible to dream and make those dreams come true. I don’t believe that. And, I don’t believe you do either. That is why I am seeking the presidency. I cannot and will not stand by and see this great country destroy itself. Our leaders attempt to blame their failures on circumstances beyond their control, on false estimates by unknown, unidentifiable experts who rewrite modern history in an attempt to convince us our high standard of living, the result of thrift and hard work, is somehow selfish extravagance which we must renounce as we join in sharing scarcity. I don’t agree that our nation must resign itself to inevitable decline, yielding its proud position to other hands. I am totally unwilling to see this country fail in its obligation to itself and to the other free peoples of the world.”
   ? Ronald Reagan
   Official Announcement of being a candidate for U.S. President (13 November 1979)

   Is there anyone who can take such a challenge today?

     Well,
     hate to tell you this, but the people who say “less” that are absolutely right
     …..about they might be able to do!

     If you take clueless, skill-less
         (except for swilling at the trough)
     no talent, gimme me! gimme me! mommy’s baby folk
         …with their false high “self esteem”
     they will, in their ignorance, claim:
         “it can’t be done! Problems can’t be solved!”
     because they can’t do it and they deserve! deserve! deserve!
         just ask their mama, she’ll tell ya.

     Hey liberal arts majors! philosophy majors! legal beagles!
         art majors! finance majors! weather folk! etc
     Yes! it can be done, but not by you!
         what you don’t know will cripple the children!

     On the other hand, our fearless community organizer will save us:
         ask not what you can do for your country,
         ask
             what’ya doing for me! me! me!

   “That idea is stupid. We have always lived in caves.”

   We have always been at war with Eastasia.

   We may yet be back in caves, one way or another

   Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains
