Current day conservatives are intimidated by the very greatness of their idol, Ronald Reagan. Who can measure-up to Reagan? Answer: No one. Who can better articulate the conservative message than Reagan? Again: No one.

Who can inspire the hearts, minds and souls of everyday Americans to take pride in themselves, their family and their country better than Reagan? Well.. you know. The vexing question remains: who will be the next Reagan? Sadly, the answer is no one. At least not anytime soon.

Is there a Ronald Reagan web site out there that runs his speeches to inspire a new generation of conservatives (or even to re-inspire the older ones)? If not, there should be.

Great post! If only their moral leadership were commonplace today instead of just a nostalgic memory. If only character, honesty, and integrity were valued instead of special interests, political prowess, and the ability to pull the wool over the eyes of America's sheep.

Maybe one day (hopefully in 2012) such a leader will step up, relieve us of Carter #2, and once again lead America to greatness and class.

If you want to insult the last great President of the United States, that's okay. That's free speech, your right (at least until the current administration suspends it). The Bushes were fair, Clinton was cover-to-cover CYA, and don't even get me started about BHO. In less than 6 months they've nationalized the banks and half the car industry. They're giving business to their best supporters, the unions (which caused the GM demise in the first place). The proposed immigration reform, health care reform, and environmental ("cap and trade") will wipe out small business, and then all that will be left is government and your favorite coffee shop (after they get THEIR bailout).

But get your economics straight. Carter #1 was so bad at economics that economists had to create a new term: "stagflation", a mess that Reagan cleaned up. Carter also instituted the "Community Reinvestment Act", the REAL cause of the financial crisis we're in. CRA was expanded under Clinton (Fannie and Freddie) and forced on banks by groups like ACORN or pushed by bank execs like Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson (Dems who also worked for Fannie/Freddie AND served in Obama's campaign). Hmm … see a pattern here??

That's right: a liberal re-distributionist housing scheme wrecked the world economy, and Reagan, Wayne, Lincoln, Washington, and all the other great American patriots are turning over in their graves. Carter #1, Clinton, Dodd, Frank, Schumer, their Socialist lackeys, and now Carter #2 (BHO) are the culprits. Keynesian spending is not going to correct the market, but it's a great way to help your buddies stay in power. Hopefully BHO is only Carter #2 (more stagflation and gas shortages) and not Roosevelt #3 (new, new, new deal), which left us with the 1930's. Additional "stimulus", bailouts, and these disastrous planned bills could set us back for a decade.

Get your head out of the liberal blogs and read some real facts. Thanks.

Silverado is one of my favorites. Kevin Coster wore that silly looking hat.

Wow, more liberal bitterness. Why are you people so mad – you won everything? I love the name calling too – real class. Ronnie Raygun – how original.

Yes, there has to be a person with a clear vision. BUT at the same time, by waiting for the hero on a white horse to save us, we reveal a great weakness that the enemies of liberty are exploiting. While we wait, they are building VAST shadow organizations that are infiltrating every part of society and government. Once upon a time this was the realm of conspiracy nuts, but not anymore. It is real. Ever wonder where The One got 750 MILLION to buy the election? Ever wonder how crazy laws and regulations just appear from nowhere without bing voted on? Open Society, Tides Foundation, Center for American Progress, Shadow Government, Moveon. These aren't made up fantasies, they're real groups who really hate having that pesky constitution standing in their way. Go to DISCOVERTHENETWORKS.ORG. There are HUGE sums of money being poured into subverting the constitution. To use your movie metaphor, this isn't The Longest Day. Its Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Even a legend like the Duke would be helpless unless we're prepared to stand shoulder to shoulder with them and speak the truth about what is happening.

The "Duke" was popular for one simple reason…..
He was an example of what was good about America….

"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I expect the same from them."

He was what every red blooded American boy wanted to grow up and be.

Such a shame he isn't around to put some people in their place.

This post is for "GOP is dead too"….

I'm paraphrasing a woman's question and an answer from Jack Nicholson in the movie, "As Good As It Gets" –

Woman: "How do you play a Democrat so well?"

Nicholson: "I think of a Republican. Then I take away reason and accountability."
