The last conservative? It wasn't Ronnie

[daveman]

It's good to know that President Ronald Reagan, perhaps the greatest President of the 20th Century, who has been out of office for at least 25 years and dead for 9 years, still installs such fear into Liberals that they still have to bash him.

I once heard a saying "Show me who your enemies are and I will know what kind of person you are." and by the type of person who still hates President Reagan, even after all these years, and it just fosters my good opinion of him.

What engenders the most hatred for Reagan in the left is not the economy, not Iran-Contra. There are two things they loathe him for:

1. He highlighted the utter failure of the Carter Administration.

2. He said it was okay to be proud of being an American.

Fuck you. Look at all the threads trashing FDR.

This is a political forum. It's appropriate to discuss the failed policies and ideology of Ronald Reagan.

How many people have you reported to ATTACK WATCH!! for discussing the failed policies and ideology of Barack Obama?

Bonus question: Did you spell their usernames right?

Question - in what year did Reagan present a balanced budget?

If your answer is 'never', then I think you need to re-word your post.

In what year did Obama present a balanced budget?

Or did that stop mattering in January of 2009?

Interesting that the right worships instead a failed actor who made us into a debtor nation.

The independent National Security Archive research institute, which published the document Monday, says the declassification is believed to mark the CIA’s first formal acknowledgment of its involvement.

According to Foreign Policy, which reviewed the document, this is the key passage:

“The military coup that overthrew Mosadeq and his National Front cabinet was carried out under CIA direction as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government.”

Beats me. Maybe one of his bootlickers can answer -- of course, it'll somehow be Bush's fault...

Yet another aspect of the Presidency in which he's utterly incompetent.

I've never hated America. I'm not a progressive.

I Like Ike.



--1954: President Dwight Eisenhower, with the objective of enabling private insurance companies to broaden their coverage, proposes a plan of federal reinsurance for any private company as protection against heavy losses resulting from health insurance. After the first five years, the program would become self-financing with money derived from premiums paid by the insurance companies. The House soundly rejects the plan. Eisenhower calls a conference to try to salvage it and is told the Senate can't fit the plan into its agenda.

Fifty-six years ago, President Dwight D. Eisenhower proposed a kind of universal health care.

Eisenhower asked Congress for $25 million to fund what he called health "reinsurance."

Under the Eisenhower plan, private insurance companies who extended benefits to uninsured Americans would be reimbursed by the federal government should they incur excessive loses. In a way, the government was insuring the insurers.

What has happened to the GOP that they don't see the fiscal upside in making sure everyone has affordable health care?

Then why did you need Ronnie to tell you it was OK?

There is more to being a President than just balancing the budget.

Then it's a good thing conservatives don't expect Obama to do so, right?


btw. I am not a socialist. Never have been. Not even close!

You're pretty close to being a communist. I have no idea what you believe that makes you think you're not a socialist. You attack capitalism at every opportunity.

There is no fiscal upside, nitwit. When has government ever done anything cheaper than the private sector?

You can think what ever you want.

What you think of what I think doesn't matter to me at all.

There is more to being a President than just balancing the budget. If that were the end all, be all, then we wouldn't need a President. We'd need an Accountant.

But not being an American Citizen, or even living here, and only having a Socialist view of the United States, I'm not surprised that you are so often wrong.

"Since 1981, however, I have gradually and steadily grown weary of the Republican Party's efforts to reduce the size of the federal government. Since then Ronald Reagan and the Republican Party have given us skyrocketing deficits, and astoundingly a doubled national debt. How is it that the party of balanced budgets, with control of the White House and Senate, accumulated red ink greater than all previous administrations put together? Tip O'Neill, although part of the problem, cannot alone be blamed.

Tax revenues are up 59 percent since 1980. Because of our economic growth? No. During Carter's four years, we had growth of 37.2 percent; Reagan's five years have given us 30.7 percent. The new revenues are due to four giant Republican tax increases since 1981.

All republicans rightly chastised Carter for his $38 billion deficit. But they ignore or even defend deficits of $220 billion, as government spending has grown 10.4 percent per year since Reagan took office, while the federal payroll has zoomed by a quarter of a million bureaucrats."

The idea that any president could instantly eliminate the deficit his first year in office can only be uttered by total ignoramuses. Your question proves only that you're a ignominious poltroon.

Democrats, including Obama, whined about the deficit every year Bush was in office, so what did Obama do when he got his turn?

I didn't. But many people were depressed by the utter incompetence of the Carter Admin (that's undeniable, but idiot you will deny it anyway. Guaranteed) and needed a boost. If you remember, Carter's government had to officially measure how miserable people were. That's not a sign of good Presidentin', Skippy.

So, Reagan tells people that America is good. America can work once again. Americans can be happy and proud, and that's the way it should be.

The left shit their pants in rage. See, the things he said countered their programming that America was bad, that most of the bad things in the world were America's fault (and you morons still believe that, too).

And hell hath no fury like a leftist who's been told the truth.

Oh, silly me! I misspoke earlier! There's a third thing the left will never forgive Reagan for:

He caused the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Now, I know you absolutely will refuse to acknowledge this. I've even been told by idiot leftists (is there any other kind, really?) that Gorbachev disbanded the USSR out of the goodness of his heart. I mean, really -- what kind of a moron would believe that?
