Created →User:Scottschaefer: page incomplete - will revisit 2-9-2013
== Welcome Message ==
Welcome to my user page. My name is [[User:Scottschaefer|Scott Schaefer]] and I am an [[American]] [[Patriot]], an American [[Conservative]], husband and father. Although he was a fictional character and I am a real character, like [[Howard Beale]], I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.
Not a day passes when I don't feel deep, almost overwhelming sadness for the loss of the country which I no longer recognize as the country of my youth, and yet still the greatest country in the world. I'll not give up, no matter how tired I am. Nor shall I succumb to apathy, defeatism or taking the easy road. I think of the [[Founding Fathers]] who sacrificed their lives and their fortunes. How dare I take the easy way. I think of [[Ronald Reagan]], who at 80 years old wouldn't remove his suit jacket in the [[Oval Office]] out of respect for the office and the [[United States]]. How dare I say I'm tired.
== A Blessed Life ==
I was born in Queens, New York in 1964. It was the year that saw [[Lyndon Johnson]] and the [[left]] so disingenuously attack [[Barry Goldwater]]. It was also the year that Ronald Reagan delivered [[Time for Choosing|The Speech]] that warned we had come to a [[Time for Choosing]], and the year which saw Reagan launch his political career. I would someday have the good fortune to work for both Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, but in 1964 I wasn't yet ready.
