Indeed, at one time, we had a man of conviction and courage in the White House and his name was Ronald Wilson Reagan. I am not exactly sure what happened between the time he left office up until this point in time but I am sure it has something to do with American Progressivism which pretty much started with Teddy Roosevelt, expanded by Woodrow Wilson and was launched full-bore by Franklin Roosevelt. The wand was picked up again with Jimmy Carter, expanded by George Bush 1 and once more, brought full-bore by Bill Clinton. George Bush 2 expanded it a little more but not full-bore when compared to his father.
