Brownback Speaks

Sam Brownback has spoken. He, among the candidates thus far, was given the rock star treatment.
They love him here. Here, Sam Brownback is among his people. They laughed at all the jokes. They gasped at all his stunning stories. They clapped. And they clapped. And they clapped some more. Sometimes sitting, sometimes standing, sometimes not knowing, but clapping still the same.
Sam Brownback came. He wowed the audience. He preached on life. He preached on the tyranny of secularism. He talked about Mother Theresa. He talked about men he'd met in prison and women who'd suffered through abortions. He talked common sense on why values matter.
And then he was gone.
What might have been.

My liberal friends have been existing on the narrative that Bush is the New Nixon -- from the time he first ran for president. That got me thinking, that if it's true, then we have to endure another Carter BEFORE our New Reagan. We all want our New Reagan now, but part of what made Reagan so great was that he brought the country out of a terrible time (Malaise), and both Republicans and Democrats have recognized it. Who in recent history has won the presidency in a landslide? He put people back to work, froze inflation, cut 'beloved' programs, actually used the term "welfare queen" without being run out office on a rail, and many more tough things.
As much as I HATE having a New Carter, we may have to endure one before the country realizes we need a New Reagan. I don't want to have other countries walking over our backs, and new terror attacks that will dwarf Katrina, but it may be what we are driven toward in order to withdraw from our Liberal LSD fantasy of the past 4-5 years.
So Brownback, or someone else, may have still have his/her day.
You just didn't have a chance this year.

I wondered if he might use today's speach to do so.
