For those of you Americans who read (or stumble upon) my wee bloggie, please consider supporting Fred Thompson in his (expected) bid for the GOP nomination.
Although I figure most people are reticent to part with their hard-earned money to fill the coffers of yet another promise-making politico who will only do follow his (or her) own agenda once seated in office… I think Fred represents a very fresh wind of change for anyone on either side of the aisle (well, GOP mostly… which is very much in need of some serious overhauling - but if we can sway a few of the “Blue Dog” Democrats into supporting Fred, I certainly won’t object).
Fred is remarkable in that he is a trailing-edge member of the so-called “Silent Generation”, a generation so named because their voices were seldom heard, being caught between the outspoken Baby Boomers, who have largely shaped the present, and indeed, are in the halls of power… and the heroic “Greatest Generation”, who fought WW2 and had influenced that conservative body politic of the Cold War era that the Boomers protested against and whose values they ardently strove to replace with the failed liberalism of the 1970s.
What I see in Fred - is a desire to return to the old paths that have worked, tempered by a down-to-earth wisdom and an ability to effectively communicate and work with the many interests that make up America, while not compromising our integrity or our sovereignty.
Therefore, regardless if you are a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, please check out Fred - and if he is someone who you believe will help America do a good turn, by all means give him your support.
