What I'd love to hear

Yeah, I know everyone is angry at the direction of the country.  Yes, I know the CNN moderators wanted a cage fight between Rubio and Cruz and between everybody and Trump.  They almost got it.  But what I long to hear is a very very hopeful, optimistic, postive message that includes everyone of us like Reagan used to give.  Something like this.

“The Democrats point out an increasing gulf between rich and poor.  True.  They created it with bailouts of banks and Wall Street.  Now they bitch about their own mess.  But the American people know better.  The thing that improves the income gap is plentiful jobs for the ordinary people, for young people just out of college, for minorities.  The Democrat regulation, health insurance quagmire, and hidden taxation have created a bad environment for jobs which hurts the non-wealthy.  But we Republicans can fix that environment with the help of thousands of entrepreneurs and small businessmen and hard workers around this country.  Obama and Hillary created a mess in the Middle East, by shunning an agreement in Iraq that shoved the country into chaos, then supporting all manner of revolts without a plan.  That left a vacuum in power and refugees with terrorist infiltrators coming our way.  But America doesn’t put up with this nonsense. And we are going to elect a leader with more sense.  We’ve always been a country to follow courage not cowardice.  Americans have always run to the fight, not from it. And these damned Barbary pirates of ISIS had better run for their lives. 

“We founded this country on Judeo-Christian principles but one of those principles is you can be whatever you want to be. What we won’t tolerate is someone riding roughshod over our constitution and freedoms.  Americans fought hard for that and we’ll do it again.  We won’t tolerate bureaucracy putting an undue burden on us.  Government answers to us, not the other way around.  So here is a warning, We the People are coming to re-organize the bureaucracy and restore the pride of working for government as a Public Servant, not a public tyrant. 

“200 years ago we ended a war that everyone thought was hopeless to win against the greatest power on earth.  We were hurt by our own stupid mistakes and helped by heroism, but the victory came from two acts of God, a hurricane and a swollen Mississippi that gave us the power to defeat our adversary.  This century brings the challenges of an enemy who works by stealth and fanaticism, and the phoenix rise of neo-socialism that threatens what truly is America.  We will whip them both. And, as in 1815, we will stand up and say, ‘Then fight on we must/As our cause it is just./And this be our motto,/ In God is our Trust/ And the Star-Spangled Banner in Triumph shall wave/ O’er the land of the Free and the home of the Brave.’”
