an american invention versus a european invention. an american sport versus a european sport. jim drake s sport versus francois robichon de la gueireine s sport. the first duke of newcastle s sport. jim drake, who passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 83, is the stuff of republican folklore. jim drake created a business in his garage that then created jobs and an industry, not just here, but around the world. imagine imagine if a democratic presidential candidate had ever even attended a dressage exhibition. fox news would be all over that. rush limbaugh, who lives the most elitist of lives flying around in his private jet while he rakes in his $50 million a year, would be screaming about elitism, just like he did when john kerry was photographed
most hoity-toity language on earth. it is now, it always will be. and dressage is a french word because dressage was invented in europe centuries ago. the great pioneers of dressage include the likes of antwan deplouffeno, michael cavendish, first duke of newcastle, and of course francois robichon de la guerineiere. the inventor of wind surfing was jim drake. he created the windsurfer in his spare time in his garage in santa monica california. he patented his invens in 1970 and created the company windsurfing international based a couple of miles down the road in marina del rey, california. now, you would think this would be a no-brainer for republicans.
