Where Are Conservatives Like Reagan?
Where are conservatives like Reagan,
Whom many people proclaim
A conservative king? And they all sing
Praises to his name.
To three million illegal immigrants
Amnesty was granted. Let's say
It wasn't hard; they got their card--
Thanks to dear Ronnie Rea.
The government grew under Reagan.
Taxes increased just four times.
Sadly, we found that what trickled down
Amounted to nickels and dimes.
One thing we'll say about Reagan:
What you see, that's what you get.
While others would be more miserly he
Tripled our national debt.
Another thing about Reagan:
To many, he was "the man."
The Brady Bill received his goodwill
As did an assault weapons ban.
His support of Afghan rebels
To fight against Russian troops
Sounded quite good. Who knew it would
Backfire on America? Oops!
Arms to Iranian mullahs?
What was he thinking there?
When all came to light, Reagan sat tight--
Answering with his blank stare.
Reagan received expert guidance
From advisers and planets and stars.
When there was doubt, Nancy sought out
The effects--say--of Jupiter and Mars.
Where are conservatives like Reagan?
It's hard to find them these days.
Conservatives now tend to kowtow
To donors, fame, and praise.
Conservatives now tend to kowtow
To donors, fame, and praise.
