American History continues through the Reagan presidency:
The Reagan Renewal by Michael Doyle By the late 70s, the Conservative movement formed a coalition Not all were of the same mind, but it combined of its own volition Seeking smaller government and less onerous regulation Ronald Regan came to speak to this before the nation The Great Communicator was a master of using the television He put aside questions as to being qualified with great precision In his younger days, he'd been a liberal Democrat with sympathy Approaching their intentions with his gift for empathy Reagan was nothing short of a shrewd conservative voice In the stream of history, he was the coalition builder of choice George H Bush, however, was favored by the Establishment Yet, Reagan offered a more hopeful vision for government He was the perfected transformative leader for our nation Compelling in his simple message about our destination Simple questions asked as to the People's betterment His long coat tails provided for a most stable government Offering that lower taxes raised greater revenue for our nation With the same truth demonstrated by Mellon and Kennedy's avocation The Democrats still favored Orwellian technocratic control Reagan preferred freeing our money with a less bureaucratic role The effect of increasing our military's budget Brought a bit of doubt at unemployment raised to 11% As we rode out an inflation stopping period of recession We arrived at better public confidence of good impression The Reagan/Bush Team won their 1984 re-election The landslide given proved the electorate favored his direction Rampant deficit spending was surged on by needed spending With the Cold War conflict seemingly almost never ending With a straight ahead philosophy in which they lose, we win He began to restore our dignity and military might again The circumstances led to laser-like SDI implementation Causing the Soviet Union to realize the strength of our nation Mikhail Gorbachev came to power urgently seeking reformation Perestroika and Glasnost would come to rule the Soviet Union This was an enormous time that provided much opportunity Reagan pressed at Berlin's walls in a shining moment of history (c) April 11, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
