| [AccordingToHoyt] ...What horrified me, and to an extent still does, was that Americans born and bred ‐ you’ll forgive me, my friends? ‐ have absolutely not a blathering clue about world politics, or how much power governments not fettered by the constitution have, or the havoc they can wreak on a peaceable nation. Recall when I first heard this it was during the cold war. Having heard Jimmy Carter talk and pontificate I was very well aware of how the Soviet Union viewed him, and how he’d roll before them. What was at stake was in fact whether the world at large would become a farm for the Soviets to harvest to disguise the fact their vaunted empire couldn’t even support itself, and a future reminiscent of 1984. Also, whatever else one said, and honestly he was a man, like others ‐ and we shall not see his like again ‐ Ronald Reagan LOVED America. Meanwhile Jimmy Carter could barely tolerate our stench on him, as he toured European capitals. (Yes, he didn’t despise us as openly as Obama, but it was there.) It seemed to me only a fool would continue putting himself in the power of one who hated him, when one who loved him was available. |
