From Reagan to .....Franken?

When the thought first occurred to me I was reluctant to acknowledge the heritage. I recall The Great Ronald Reagan was initially dismissed as a Hollywood B movie actor, who only know how to read a script and not much else. The nation and the world are much better for those who refused to listen to such nonsense. After all President Reagan was also the President of the screen actors guild. Which demonstrates how remarkable he was. A union president who winds up being a model of the ages for conservative thinkers. (funny, I am not sure I have ever heard the phrase"Liberal Thinker") In any case few people realize that The Great Ronald Reagan was a scab, yes a scab!!. During the 1940's there was an actor strike. This was largely incited by the communist infiltration of Hollywood during the times. The Great Ronald Reagan refused to submit to the union demands on principal. The studio execs said that if he was going to cross the picket line, he should sneak on to the studio lot via a drainage tunnel as not to be seen. The Great Ronald Reagan replied that he would do no such thing, if he was going to cross the line, he would cross the line, and he did. He was right, and the scab became the union president. Later it was disclosed that the file the KGB kept on him said, "Words and deeds are the same for this man". In fact it was noted that he may need to be eliminated at some point. On a side note, it is rumored that the Weather Underground, in communication with the KGB via Cuba, had planned to execute a plan to assassinate The Great Ronald Reagan while he was Governor of California. Does William Ayers ring a bell anyone? In any case I could go on and on about The Great Ronald Reagan. The point is despite all of the criticism and to use the tired vernacular of the day...smears, The Great Ronald Reagan proved to be more than prepared for the task.

Well The Great Ronald Reagan begot... Sonny Bono. Also a Republican, and a conservative. It is unfortunate that his inability to dodge a stationary object while skiing caused is premature exit from politics and the world. Sonny begot Clint Eastwood and his mayoral run in Carmel. Another Republican and more libertarian than conservative, which is not really that far removed on fiscal issues anyhow. Then there is the "Gov" Jesse Ventura. A lot of talk about personal responsibility, but he never really made an impact. I think he got to reading his own press a bit to much. I must admit though, I did like his anti-establishment attitude. Well it was all downhill from there. Arnold. A true R.I.N.O. if there ever was one. He said in an interview over the weekend that those in favor of same sex marriage should not worry because the courts may overturn the will of the people of California....AGAIN!!! Then what else would you expect from California. As the trend of Hollywood types moving to Washington continues there is Hillary Clinton. Although not from Hollywood, she came to Washington as a result of her celebrity rather than merit. She ran for President on the merits of her "experience". I thought that was a joke. Then we get Al Franken!!??

Is it possible that any reasonable person, with the cognitive skills equal to Sponge Bob would consider this charlatan for anything other that dog catcher? Seriously..Al Franken?!! the Church Lady!!?? Who could be behind such lunacy? Could it be mmmmm....SATAN?!! What a total putz. But I suppose I cannot fault anyone who wants to run for office. I mean if the electorate is stupid enough to vote for a guy who has never really had any responsibility, made any decisions of significance and has not demonstrated a single quality of leadership in his whole life well then who can blame the candidate? Besides, really, there would never be enough people who would vote such a candidate in ....right? WRONG!!!! As it turns out, half of the U.S. Electorate are more like Patrick that Sponge Bob. Completely devoid of any rational or independent thought whatsoever!!

So this is why I am compelled to speak out about this travesty. I never thought I would be embarrassed to be an American. But then we elect a Marxist President, and a failed comedian and talk show host has a chance to steal an election for a Senate seat. The Democrats are finding votes all over the place. In fact they found 35 or so "uncounted" votes in a poll workers car! They are going to steal this election if it is the last thing they do. This reminds me of of a quote;

"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." Joseph Stalin.
