Title: Politics and driving
Post by: Xavier_Onassis on July 03, 2012, 11:53:29 AM
Posted in another forum by "golfinsailor", but undeniably true:

Politics is a lot like driving a car.

Lesson One: to move forward, you put the car in D, to move backward, you put it in R.

Lesson Two: if you are slow, then you move to the right.

If you are staying on the left side of the road , you need to be in England.

Reagan always wanted to go back to the 1950's or earlier. He was unaware that he was far luckier than most people.

Of course, no one can go back. The past is past.

Why would you think this?

Reagans slogan was "Morning in America" not "yesterday in America".

Reagans optimism was a tonic for the discouraged , mailaised nation .

If he went back to anything , it was a recapture of the vision and future that Teddy Rosevelt espoused.

we never can go back or forward....we only have the present.
