Why does everyone love Reagan so much?

[CrusaderFrank]

Ignoring all the whining liberals here - it you had lived through the Peanut Farmer years you would understand the relief felt by the American people when I real leader finally took the helm.

It will be similar in 2016 when a new broom sweeps into the White House and the Clinton/Obama debacle is in the past.

Six months after that 'real leader' took office we had the worst recession since the Great Depression.

LOLz

Listening to Progs, every recession is the "Worst evah! since the FDR Depression!!"

Iran Contra affair - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia


Iran contra affair


how many of you even know about it?





The Iran–Contra affair (Persian: ایران-کنترا‎, Spanish: caso Irán-Contra), also referred to as Irangate,[1] Contragate[2] or the Iran–Contra scandal, was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo.[3] They hoped thereby to secure the release of several US hostages, and to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.

The scandal began as an operation to free the seven American hostages being held in Lebanon by a group with Iranian ties connected to the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. It was planned that Israel would ship weapons to Iran, and then the United States would resupply Israel and receive the Israeli payment. The Iranian recipients promised to do everything in their power to achieve the release of the U.S. hostages. The plan deteriorated into an arms-for-hostages scheme, in which members of the executive branch sold weapons to Iran in exchange for the release of the American hostages.[4][5] Large modifications to the plan were devised by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council in late 1985, in which a portion of the proceeds from the weapon sales was diverted to fund anti-Sandinista and anti-communist rebels, or Contras, in Nicaragua.[6]

If you believe that Clinton was the only politician getting some on the side I suggest you want to buy a bridge I have for sale.

Clinton wagged his finger in you and our collective faces and lied his ass off. Bad but not impeachable. Then he went an lied and lied under oath, a high crime by any measure. He was denying a woman her Constitutional rights. When someone breaks the law, as did clinton without doubt, there should be an investigation and that is what happened. It was the right thing to do.

Progs hate Reagan because: 1) He called their home team an Evil Empire, 2) he said he would throw their home team on "the ash heap of history, and 3) he threw their Evil empire on the ash heap of history.

Seriously, I can't understand that. He was arming Iran illegally, vetoed an anti-Apartheid act, gave amnesty to three million immigrants and raised taxes. Not to mention that he had Alzheimer's and was basically just a living vegetable by the end of his second term. And now Reagan is a role model for Scott Walker (who criticizes Obama for Iran nuclear deal). Isn't it hypocritical?

Progressive and Communists are the only ones hate Reagan

The fascists love him.

Do you even know the defintion of facism? If you did then what you posted makes absolutely no sense.

Full Definition of FASCISM
1
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2
: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <early instances of army fascism and brutality — J. W. Aldridge>

Careful what you wish for. If we had an honest government it would bear out that Obama has been supplying the Syrian rebels with arms, which lead to the rise of ISIS and the attack at Benghazi. He also supplied air strikes in Libya, what freaking law was he following when he did that?

But not to worry, we don't have an honest government.

This quite simple.

Without the very intentional worship and aggrandizement of Reagan, the GOP cannot point to a Presidency that ended well since the Eisenhower administration in 1960.

On top of that, they can't much point to Eisenhower anyway, because by today's standards, Eisenhower wasn't just a moderate conservative, or a RINO, but an outright liberal Republican. He was in favor of civil rights, and spent just as much money on infrastructure as FDR did. Eisenhower perpetuated the New Deal.

Reagan wasn't a bad President, and he assuaged the shame of Watergate for the GOP. Our country needed that at the time. If you were alive post Watergate 1974 and 1975, you remember how down the US was on itself. So was most of the world/UN with the Russians egging them on.
