Coach Roy's Random Thoughts....
Iran a Factor in Another Election???
Lets face it, Reagan fans.
Ronald Reagan first won the White House because of a certain Democrat President who couldn't figure out how to deal with the new Muslim regime in Iran.
Remember the countdown clocks? "America Held Hostage - (and the number of days)" - Jimmy Carter's inability to deal with those in control in Tehran showed just how impotent a social democracy can become when you ignore the military so you can build up the rest of government.
So guess who is at it again?
With Mr. Carter's smiling countenance on the sidelines, the present occupant of the White House is going to continue to reward his cronies in various "green" businesses, while gutting the Armed Forces and making it so that nobody in their right mind will want to serve.
The President has lined up a large cadre of "useful idiots" who will come speak to congressional meetings and urge higher taxes and more state socialism in the name of "fairness," while ignoring some of the basic parts of the Constitution.
I believe the preamble to our founding document calls for domestic tranquility and common defense, nowhere does it talk about trampling personal beliefs, or paying people not to work, or creating a permanent class of non-workers, or creating a new class of government workers (you know a Nomenclatura?) who must be paid higher and higher salaries because they do "so much good" for our country.
Drudge has a big headline this morning that Iran has cut off oil supplies to Europe, just one more reason our gas prices have skyrocketed this week.
You learn this in Economics 101 - what all the "energy czars" forget is that Oil has become a basic commodity.
Shrink the supply and the price will rise - don't even calculate that demand will drop. The only thing that will change is the price everyone pays at the pump, and the eventual higher prices will hurt everyone's wallet because it will cost more to deliver the essentials.
During his 4 years, Mr. Carter managed to double gas prices, gut the military, screw up the banking system, and use the regulatory power of the federal government to drag business down to almost a crawl. There was a term used during the election - The Misery Index, remember? Few in business thought they could survive in that regulatory climate, so they got involved in funding politics and took the manufacturing process overseas where rules were more constant.
Fortunately, the Carter State Socialists were stopped after only 4 years.
The present administration seems determined to accomplish what Carter couldn't - and they've almost destroyed the great experiment of 1776 in a crazed attempt to emulate the failed policies of Europe with ever expanding government and a permanent unemployed class of safe voters.
This time, it will take more than a few tax cuts to restore our business climate. The next president will have to cut the size of government and "We the People" are going to have to start taking responsibility for what we do, and how we do it.
And that is a "hope and change" that all Americans must believe in....
