    We have had “three” presidents in the last 49-plus years: John F. Kennedy; Ronald Reagan; and the rest of them.

    It is just a fact of life that we see a few great men and quite a few lesser men (or women). We see a few geniuses and quite a few morons. And we see a few rich men and quite a few poor men (and women).

    It’s a good thing we can’t enact “brainfare” or liberals would insist that everyone is entitled to be smart and they would require at least partial brain transplants so everyone would be equally intelligent.

    Don’t hold your breath waiting for the next Ronald Reagan, but don’t give up either. There will be another one at some point.

    I hope we don't elect any more senile old f*rts like Reagan. He did little as president but lie and put us into debt.

    Reagan said he would not negotiate with terrorists. OK, what did he do, just meet their every demand. Everyone but those neocons with their heads up their *sses know Americans were held hostage almost every day of Reagan's 8 years. Reagan put a bounty on the heads of Americans by trading arms for hostages. He, simultaneously, financed Iraq and provided WMD to them while trading arms to Iran in exchange for hostages. BTW, this deal was suggested by Israel.

    Reagan had a record deficit, the Savings and Loans went under. Oh, don't worry, George Bush's brother made a fortune off the Savings and Loan debacle. John MCCain was implicated in the failure of the savings and loans. If you don't know about this, search on the Keating 5.

    Reagan wasn't a leader. Thank goodness he is gone and Bush couldn't leave too soon. We need leaders who care more about America than they do about their fortunes.

    I know, I agree. The pride is gone.

    I blame Hollywood. they make anti american films, t.v. shows, the SAG actors are Union and are Democrats, The (ATPAM) and broadcasters union are also continually spewing their bias.

    Screenwriters write scripts that make our soldiers look bad, our president look like a baffoon. Then they put these acts on SNL and comedy news shows and the world gets the wrong opinion and we look weak.

    The American Pride only remains in the little country towns, where they don't let Hollywood run thier life.

    However, New York Times bought several small town newspapers and will begin to try to break down the red states. Beware of the Unions.

    Gone forever I fear. Our nation has lost its way. It's no longer about serving the greater good and helping your neighbor, it's all about me, me, me, I, I, I. We have become self-absorbed, selfish, arrogant and greedy.

    Left Media, just wondered if you found this headline as funny as I do? "AFL-CIO reps coordinated anarchists for RNC"? Coordinated anarchists? A monumental Oxymoron, wouldn't you say? You gotta love the left, they do make me laugh!

    Er. Okay. What is your question?

    No, you don't ask a question, you only refer to a youtube video. What speech are you referencing? What type of leadership are you referencing?
