I Want Your Money - In Review

I grew up in the 1980s and Ronald Reagan was my President. My girlfriend grew-up in the 90s and her president was Bill Clinton. She has no faith in the political process and sees no difference between Democrats or Republicans. She has never known what it is to have an American President who grasped the simple concept of common sense.

I took her to see the movie "I want your Money" and for the first time in her entire life, she was introduced to Ronald Reagan. For the very first time she was shown what the real difference was between Reagan and all the Presidents to come after him. It changed her world view.

Me? I remember Reagan. I remember sitting as a little boy with my Dad, watching the Presidential Debates between Reagan and Jimmy Carter on a 13 inch black-and-white TV. I remember the 1984 elections and, even as a kid, knowing that Walter Mondale was a complete moron. Walter Mondale was the guy who wanted to kill the space program, a year before we were to land on the moon, FYI.

People seem to forget that Ronald Reagan won 49 out of 50 States in 1984 and he won the largest majority since the founding of our nation, for a reason!

So, my girl and I sat and watched this movie.

I was re-introduced to Ronald Reagan and she was introduced to Ronny for the first time in her life.

As we left, she turned to me and asked, "Why don't we have people like that in politics today?"

I smiled. This was going to be a LONG conversation that I won't repeat here. What I will say is this... go see this movie. It will make you think. For those of you who are old enough, it will make you remember and, for those of you who are young, it will inspire you to look for something better.
