Tag: fourth-dimensional thinkingBy Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
(Promoted by Nick for the sheer effort of it alone!)
Back in June of 2004, when I was taking class in Professional Ethics at Davenport University, I had to answer two questions (among eight that week) that caused me to reflect upon a man that I had not, until that time, realized had become a personal hero of mine. One question required me to identify a person that I would choose to use as a role model to emulate; the other required me to evaluate the question of character vs. conduct in politics. Now for those of you who were paying attention to the month and year, you may recall that this was about the time that Ronald Reagan's funeral ceremonies were being conducted. It was in reflecting on those two questions - while watching all of the memorializing of President Reagan's life and career - that I came to the surprising realization of just how much of his way of doing things I had incorporated into my own personal style. In preparing for the Michigan Republican State Convention, to which KCRC has elected me as a delegate, I have been reviewing Ronald Reagan's speeches. There are good archives at Federalism and the New Conservatism, Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Library, and the National Archives & Records Administration; he also has a really good Wikiquote page. In doing this, I picked up on something that I guess I always knew was there, but I now saw more clearly than I had before. In previous posts - specifically Recovering From the Wreckage, Random Thoughts, and KCRC Project 2010 Kickoff - I've stated a few arguments, mine or others', about what we need to do to rise as a party from the ashes left by the Obama-tsunami. Consider this post a refinement of my original arguments.
