25. A.M. Mallett: . . . If you think what we have now compares to Carter/Ford, you’re not paying attention. This is a GLOBAL-ECONOMIC-CRISIS! Globalization hadn’t even taken root 35 years ago. This is an entirely different set of challenges. You would rather sink the whole ship just because some deck hand may be able to swipe an extra piece of cheese.
Get out of your victimhood. You’re not interested in our future or the growth opportunities of America. You don’t care about doing the hard work it takes to correct the mistakes that got us here. There’s only one thing you care about – that the other guy doesn’t get something you don’t. Now tell me, who’s socialist?
Grow a pair. Recognize and deal with the facts. In the inimitable words of Richard Harris in The Lion in Winter . . . “You whine just like a woman.”
