Changing minds caused by changing circumstances, being called “flip-flopping” goes completely against the history of this country. After Carter, with 14% unemployment and 21% interest rates, you would think that no citizen, even a democrat, would want to vote for someone like Obama, who endorses the same policies as Carter did, with his windfall profits tax, and the elemental stages of wearing sweaters, adjusting to NO gas, rationing, long gas lines, American citizens held hostage, and Americans ashamed of their country abandoning hope and faith for the future. Thank God the voters voted him out and Reagan in (with his optimism), saying what we SHOULD be - a shining city upon a hill and a beacon to the rest of the world and leading the country in THAT direction. He strengthened our military calling for the Star Wars defense system, and he defeated the Communist party of the USSR, now split up - some of them even in NATO.
Now, as far as changing minds to meet new circumstances, MacArthur, a military man of high repute in World War II, did a masterful job in the re-construction of Japan after the war. However, in Korea, as military commander, he over-stepped his authority and was fired by President Truman and Truman was lambasted by the American people for his action. Truman also changed his mind on dropping the A-bomb after a study was made of how many millions of casualties there would be on both sides if we had tried a land invasion. There are still some liberals who condemn him for his actions. Those World War II veterans who lived because of his actions, no doubt, are thankful for his decision.
There is no doubt that Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Churchill, Truman, Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Halsey, and General Patton all changed their minds as circumstances changed during the war, or we would have LOST the war. The greatest program of the Eisenhower administration, and one of the major causes of our growth after World War II was the interstate/highway system, which was a circumstance of him seeing how a modern road system of major highways had helped in Germany’s growth and in their military prowess.
I have heard both the Democrats and Republicans making statements that are foolish - as with the speculation of the oil futures. The commodities market is one of the greatest rip-offs of the American consumer. Remember Hillary as making $100,000 with $1,000 in cattle futures? And as she said “with nobody’s help”. The Congress could take action to stop the fluctuating prices caused by speculators with ONE act. Now it is not only pension funds, but also George Soros, Warren Buffet, Jim Rogers, and others of ill-repute making BIG bucks on the backs of the American consumer. You can tie up 100 million barrels of crude oil with only 5% down… in other words, buy 5 million barrels and you can tie up another 95 million barrels. The same applies to corn, soy beans, sugar, dairy products, beef, pork, etc. Doesn’t this make us all feel GOOD that some FAT cats can become RICH on the backs of consumers? There is ONE simple fix - make SPECULATORS put up AT LEAST 60% of the price of those commodities they are purchasing, whether orange juice, milk, beef, oil or WHATEVER!
May God continue to bless the USA and save us from Barrack Hussein Obama and greedy speculators!
