Ronald Reagan's Birthday and the Myth of Reagan

[JoeB131]

They really could not be trusted anymore after walking out of such a critical job. People that don't work well with others are a danger just to begin with, especially in a job with communications like that.

Oh, now you are just stretching. Cops walk out on the job all the time on strikes. After the strike is settled, they go right back to doing their jobs. So do firefighters and teachers.

It is called an opinion.

The police DO NOT walk out nationally, and local disputes like that are easily covered by neighboring jurisdictions.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

So you are really saying Reagan should have known in the 80's Bin Laden would become the leader of Al Qaeda?

What does that say about Clinton?

1) Yes, he absolutely should have been concerned about someone who killed in the name of Allah given the problems we already had with religious fanatics in Lebanon and Iran.

2) Clinton actually DID try to do something about Bin Laden. He bombed Al Qaeda assets in Afghanistan and Sudan. And Republicans claimed he was pulling a "Wag-The-Dog" (from the movie of the same name) to distract attention from the Lewinsky Affair.

You are putting the cart before the horse.

Yes, but you see, when an opinion is as ass-poundingly retarded as yours is, it's best not expressed.

No excuse for Reagan to fire the PATCO workers. He needlessly endangered lives. But that wasn't the point. The point was to wreck the middle class, and he did a fine job of that.

Um, no, I'm not. We knew who Bin Laden and his buddies were before we gave them one bullet.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Bin Laden wasn't Mujaheddin you fucking liar

Bin Laden fought in Afghanistan, and he and other Arab "volunteers" were recruited by the CIA from all over the middle east.

The reason why bin Laden was able to build a power base (Fun Fact, Al Qaeda translates as "The Base") was because after the Russians were driven out of Afghanistan, all these fighters tried to return to their home countries and their home countries didn't want them back.

...and you're still so butt hurt Reagan beat the USSR you have to lie about him and bin Laden

Emerging threats are treated as they develop. The onus was on Clinton.

The definition of retarded is worrying 30 years about air safety.

Reagan didn't beat the USSR.

And yes, I'm very upset that he enabled Jihadists we are still fighting to this day.

 

[JoeB131]

I worry more about the destruction of the middle class that followed.

You simply cannot sustain a middle class without a labor movement. Reagan made war on the labor movement.

Therefore he did more damage to America than the COmmunists and Jihadist combined.

Nothing has happened to the unions, idiot.

 

[JoeB131]

Nothing has happened to the unions, idiot.

Other than a decline in membership and a reluctance to take needed labor actions.

Back in the 1960's, labor unions called 400 strikes a year.

Today it's down to 10 a year.

Srsly? Because they learned to get further without making the whole world mad at them, which is common sense, something you must lack. People do move on, you know.

Except they haven't gotten further. Union membershp rates are down, working people's wages are down despite productivity being at record levels. The rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer.

This is the Reagan Legacy- More Damage to America than the Communists ever did.

There is no way to know how far they get or do not get in working with employers without strikes.

Actually, there's a very easy way to know.

Middle CLass wages have DECLINED since Reagan.

that's how we know.

Ronald Reagan s America The American Spectator



Reagan would be the first to survey the landscape that is the Obama-era and understand it is littered with the inevitable telltale debris of socialism: bankrupt states, double-digit unemployment, rising inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, defaulted mortgages, an insolvent Social Security system (which he warned about all the way back in 1964) ruined credit, a government takeover of health care and trillion dollar deficits. Quietly but firmly he would surely say today as he has before:

"The moment is ours, and we must seize it…We stalled the judgment day, but we no longer have that luxury. We're out of time."

I wonder if he would apologize for tripling the debt?

 

[Claudette]

For a myth he was a damned good POTUS. Way better than the current jackass.

Tripled the debt and destroyed the middle class.

But he yelled at a wall once. And unlike other old fucks who yell at walls, he was kind of endearing.
