Reagan's Boot
In Springfield, Illinois we saw a display of items from past President's. Included in the assortment of items was a boot that belonged to Ronald Reagan and now part of the collection there. The boot had the presidential seal and the lady that displayed it was proud of the collection they had and I think also proud of the accomplishments that Reagan had in office. I think that the showing of national morning that followed Reagan's death is a good example of America's democratic bipartisanship. Each person has their own personal political belief, but we are joined together in the common believe of democracy. I think this is the most critical lesson to teach our kids about government. We are fortunate that both parties are relatively central and we are not greatly divided by radical third parties. I think that I am like most Americans, not completely represented by either party, but for me a view of compassionate conservativeness, balance in progressive taxation, support for the national defense, and protection of the small guy's chance at his stake in the American dream round out the "platform" I would support. This statement may seem a little vague, but I would submit that the moderate center is the best representation that we can get to compromise on the difficult specifics in legislation.
