Any day under Obama is better than every day under Reagan!
Reagan also fails the test on amnesty for illegal aliens, and on raising taxes.
And fails the telling the truth test: "No negotiations with terrorists of any kind." - spoken by liar Ronald Reagan in the October 1980 presidential debate.
Ah yes, the god of reagan. The only test he passed was slaughtering civilians in Contra wars, laying the groundwork for economic devastation, and stroking the religious terrorists (the ones at home who bombed women's clinics). And that was when he had somewhat of a brain. Rev. Bookburn - Radio Volta
If Reagan fails even one of the points of the "Reagan" test, that says a lot. But yeah, the very people who sarcastically call Obama the "Obamessiah" or "liberal messiah" (and one look at headzup tells you how accurate that is) seem to have reverence for the guy for beating the Soviets (but they never tell you how he did it).
The TRAGIC (toxic) dumbing down of the modern conservative movement: Buckley, Goldwater (rolling over in their graves) Nixon's Southern Strategy Reagan (talk & DEBT) Religious right hijacks Jesus. GOP hijacks the flag. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Fox "News" Bush/Cheney Palin Birthers Beck Carrie Prejean The ABYSS (?) - Mainstream conservatives, you are HERE.
Reagan was a criminal. He began the era of corporate take over of the American government and the war on the middle-class. He took office by negotiating with terrorists ( arms for hostages). Then continued to illegally arm enemies of the U.S.
Reagan is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Reagan could ever be. She will be a SUPERIOR POTUS than Reagan ever was. She also passes the Purity test 10/10 for she is the Conservative's Conservative! Ronnie wears the skirt in his family while Nancy wears the pants!
What about when she drove up the deficit for the town of Wasilla? I'm sure leaving such a small town with such a huge debt would cost her one of those points.
The Republican 'plan' is to starve the beast. That's why we have the huge deficit, they had power for 8 years and starved the beast.
Why is it so hard for Dems to realize why the Reps won't do anything but obstruct them. The Republicans don't want the Gov't to work, how can they be part of government solutions?
@JimboVids ...no St. Reagan is a zombie! If it "offends" you why don't you go troll some Sarah Palin/Glenn Beck/Sean Hannity videos...better yet some Obama is the Anti-Christ vids. Your opinion IS a damn disgrace!
I said that the GOP has turned Reagan into a cartoon, not that he was one. Reagan was a pragmatist who knew when to compromise. The partisans of the conservative movement have twisted and distorted what Reagan actually did and made him into a caricature thats just as unfair as what those on the left have done. Hence the fact that Reagan himself would fail 7 out of 10 of these "Reagan Principles."
I don't like either party. They don't represent the people, just whoever pays them the most.
really at least he didn't back dictators in Latin America, Spend money on immaginary defense projects, increased the debt, and is a horse for corporate America.
@chrisfo19 Reagan didn't increase the deficit? Didn't back dictators in Latin America, spend on imaginary defense projections, and wasn't a "horse" for corporate America?! In what universe? He did ALL of those things and MORE!
@Eastmanarium on Dec 4, 1982 Reagan described "president montt is a man of great personal integrity and commitment, I know he wants to improve the quality of life and promote social justice for all". Also look please look up Rios Montt.
Since Mitt Romney is the leader in the polls in the Republican Primary in 2012. He FAILS the Reagan test BIG TIME. Why? He gave his stance to support Abortion (He use to.) Support gun restrictions, Allowed Gay Marriage to continue in Massachusetts. He was against W's War on Terror but then flipped-flopped in the '08 elections, was pro cap-n-trade, and NOT TO MENTION he RAISED State Taxes that one of the causes that Massachusetts got broke.
I do agree, the going back to hell thing might be a bit over the edge. He was a dim witted commander in chief, but he served the repuke party cons well.
The middle class has suffered ever since. But, I honestly think the dimwit thought he was doing "good".
Lol. Ouch on the "go back to Hell" thing but great points about how Reagan would have failed the test. Republicans would know this if they read anything other than RNC-approved talking points and revisions of history.
Reagan also increased taxes 6 times as president and signed the Amnesty Bill of 1986. As Governor of California Reagan vetoed a bill similar to the Defense of Marriage Act and signed a pro-abortion bill.
Reagan must be for Republicans what Jebus is for Christians; people just keep adding to his legend over the years. Maybe in a few years, Republicans will claim Reagan was born to a virgin mother and he could walk on water.
Lack of vision is something that always damages a political movement. The NRC should start purging those who prevent them from broadening there political appeal. This should start with those who wrote those 10 rules.

I wonder if Headzup would ever say anything remotely that bad about a Democrat. NEVER sounds like a good answer. And why would Reagan be in hell? He was a good man with a much better faith than any Democrat today.
The US federal government has a hostile and abusive attitude towards the US Constitution.
Democunts and Repubipukes are a two headed coin.
US Constitution
Congress Declares war right, what are the morons voting for extending illegal sandbox wars.
US Federal Reserve Note - illegal tender
Gold, Silver is legal tender, so why are the morons in standby mode while the Fed counterfeits the money supply into oblivion ? Where's US gold no audit on gold reserves?
They said it couldn't get worse than Reagan. Then Bush senior got in. They said it couldn't get worse. Then George W got in and took the cake. If the Republican selectors and their friends in the log cabin are seriously considering Sahra Palin, well, I guess it is no point debating at all. Just a montage of rhetorical idioms and random phrases that only a senile retiree with alzheimers at 90 would relate to.
Drugs for arms scandal is pure treason, corrupt and part of the subversive activity that's been going on since 1913.
The rise in Gold price proves that the fiat money system is toast. Reagan the drug lord was just a symptom of how toast the United States is. So's the rest of mankind.
No money system, no civilization ...what do you think the free flu shots are for ?
You're an idiot. Gold hasn't even kept up with inflation. The gold standard is just a cover, for people who want to complain, but don't understand what's going on!
But that's not true the ending of the gold standard in 1971 by Nixon the war criminal, crook traitor and asshole went unopposed by ALL WORLD POWERS !!!
Believe me counterfeiting gold or money won't keep up with inflation either.
Didn't work for Mugabe the asshole , won't work for Obama the Usurper.
Inflation occurs when PAPER money is overprinted. It only occurs with gold is mined or discovered in large quantities.
Did you hear of anyone finding a large gold rush this year? I certainly haven't, but I did hear the Federal Reserve printed a lot of funny money out of thin air.
That's simply untrue. Inflation occurs when the money in question is devalued compared to goods and services. If Gold was the standard money, we would have been through incredible amounts of inflation, as gold has NOT held it's value compared to other goods and services.
There's this whole silly fiat currency/ gold standard arguement that has no real merit. Gold is a fiat currency in a sense.
Then why is gold rising and the dollar dropping? How does the fiat currency and gold stanard have no merit? How is gold a fiat currency when it cannot be printed out of thin air, unlike paper?
Simply because it's valuation is NOT remotely fixed! LOL Is gold rising compared to oil? Bread? Getting your car fixed?
No of course not. It's falling dramatically. The fact that the US dollar is falling quicker( and no not all fiat currencies are falling as quickly) is almost a moot point.
Some people fall back on the gold standard as some universal solution for economic difficulties. There's no evidence for that. The worst recessions in history happened under the gold standard.
Paper money valuation is fixed? Look at the inflation alone from 1971. Now the dollar is practically worthless because the goverment printed it so much. You can't do that with gold. You ethier have it or you don't.
Now as for holding onto gold during economic difficulties that's because gold is valuable and rare.
I can't actually disagree with you there. If you want to buy gold as a hedge against a currency, I actually think that's a pretty smart move.
I get tired of the whole 'Ron Paul' crowd on here with their silly fiat currency nonsense. The gold standard is not some economic miracle, and it's probably not even effective (after all the worst economic collapses in US history happened under the gold standard).
You have yet to show me a single point on how a paper money standard is even equal (yet alone a better) system.
The worst economic collapses in US history occur when BANKS collapse due to their own fractional reserve system. If we had a honest banking system collapses wouldn't occur.
Instead we allow banks to lend out money when they only have a 1/10 in reserves. So when banks overlend and everyone panics the banks collapse.
I get tired of the whole 'Ron Paul' crowd on here with their silly fiat currency nonsense.
Fiat currency = bill of credit illegal US tender
Gold, Silver = legal US tender
Gold and Silver is money its the only way to remain independent of government.
Without a gold stand how can you call the government on counterfeiting currency ?
You should be able to turn in your paper for precious coin anytime. If you can't the paper is a "bill of credit" illegal tender under the US constitution.
Only because the Federal Reserve was counterfeiting currency.
Gold standard just keeps the counterfeiters honest.
Example:
Nixon ended the gold standard for foreign exchange because the French called him on the counterfeiting to pay for the useless jungle war, now you got the same situation only there's no gold standard meaning the US dollar has a future value of 0.
Its an Endgame scenario like Fall of Roman Empire Redux
I'll give you my honest opinion on why the US dollar has fallen so quickly. It's just an opinion, and take it for what it's worth.
I think government spending (and mainly deficit spending) has the largest impact on the valuation of a nation's currency. Canada has had a balanced budget for 15 years, and there's no been no devaluation in the Canadian dollar, and also strong stable economic growth.
Spending as a percentage of GDP is much higher in the US ( mostly due to military spending)
The US goverment relies heavily on paper money to print it's way out of debt. It uses this ability of printing money to monetize it's debt for wars or goverment expansion.
Look at how goverment has expanded within the last century. That would never be possible if it had to rely on real currency.
Don't you know a counterfeiting operation when its right in front of you.
The German People of 1923, the government counterfeited their society into oblivion. It was part of a planned agenda to set up the hamster taxpayers for round two of the War to end all wars.
Wake the fuck up stop spewing bull shit.
Gold Price going up means the US government in cahoots with the Federal Reserve is counterfeiting currency.
Grab a brain, start reading the US constitution !!!!!
This has lead to a largely fake economy in the US. Productivity, in terms of dollars, has been artificially lifted due to government spending. The same thing would have occurred under the gold standard, so the whole fiat currency arguemnt is moot.
And what was the price of gold in 1910? Oh yeah, it was 35$. LOL Do you honestly believe there was no inflation during that period of time? Price fixing (that's all the gold standard is for 1 item) doesn't make any difference.
Where do you get the idea that capital never gains in value? This stuff is all relative. That's why the gold standard is truly nonsense.
The price of gold in 1910 was a single dollar for an ounce of gold. That's why US currency was believed to be "as good as gold" prior to the Federal Reserve coming into power.
Seriously, this goverment believes it can print prosperity out of thin air instead of hard work. It's paid for the "War on Terror", goverment expansion, Gitmo etc all on inflation.
Mugabe tried it he took the bread basket of Africa and turned it into the cesspool of Africa.
It took 20 years to destroy his country with the UN and all the other ya hoo globalist orgs on stand bye.
What I'm witnessing is since 1971 is counterfeiting of world reserve currency. This kind of bone head , inept, hamster, moronic, small dish soap thinking has destroyed the entire fiat money system.
We have to save in precious metal for our future because we have bozo the clown in control of fiat$.
If you really want to know what's going on watch a Brian Gerrish vid on Subversion.
Common Purpose the idea is to destroy society inside out.
Just gets a little weird when your own government is doing it.
Really complex stuff the want the sheople to riot so they can implement the Police State so the only way to fix the debacle is through lawful rebellion.
You have to identify the idiots like Obama is one he's not even eligible to be President.
Goldwater, Nixon, and Reagan would vote Democrat in 2012.

Gold, Silver = legal US tender
Gold and Silver is money its the only way to remain independent of government.
Without a gold stand how can you call the government on counterfeiting currency ?
You should be able to turn in your paper for precious coin anytime. If you can't the paper is a "bill of credit" illegal tender under the US constitution.

Only because the Federal Reserve was counterfeiting currency.
Gold standard just keeps the counterfeiters honest.
Example:
Nixon ended the gold standard for foreign exchange because the French called him on the counterfeiting to pay for the useless jungle war, now you got the same situation only there's no gold standard meaning the US dollar has a future value of 0.
Its an Endgame scenario like Fall of Roman Empire Redux

I'll give you my honest opinion on why the US dollar has fallen so quickly. It's just an opinion, and take it for what it's worth.
I think government spending (and mainly deficit spending) has the largest impact on the valuation of a nation's currency. Canada has had a balanced budget for 15 years, and there's no been no devaluation in the Canadian dollar, and also strong stable economic growth.
Spending as a percentage of GDP is much higher in the US ( mostly due to military spending)

The US goverment relies heavily on paper money to print it's way out of debt. It uses this ability of printing money to monetize it's debt for wars or goverment expansion.
Look at how goverment has expanded within the last century. That would never be possible if it had to rely on real currency.

How come the spin ?
Don't you know a counterfeiting operation when its right in front of you.
The German People of 1923, the government counterfeited their society into oblivion. It was part of a planned agenda to set up the hamster taxpayers for round two of the War to end all wars.
Wake the fuck up stop spewing bull shit.
Gold Price going up means the US government in cahoots with the Federal Reserve is counterfeiting currency.
Grab a brain, start reading the US constitution !!!!!

This has lead to a largely fake economy in the US. Productivity, in terms of dollars, has been artificially lifted due to government spending. The same thing would have occurred under the gold standard, so the whole fiat currency arguemnt is moot.
johnedwards1968 2 years ago
You are still missing the fact the goverment prints money ouf of thin air to pay for all of those services.
Do you actually believe paper money is worth more than gold? Did you ever research the purchasing power of paper money before the Fed was created?

How to you explain 1971 Gold $35 US in paper
Now its
1150 was 1200 yesterday could be 5000 next year.
Capital never gains in value I wouldn't be so terrified but there's no ceiling to the gold price or food price.
boots920 2 years ago
And what was the price of gold in 1910? Oh yeah, it was 35$. LOL Do you honestly believe there was no inflation during that period of time? Price fixing (that's all the gold standard is for 1 item) doesn't make any difference.
Where do you get the idea that capital never gains in value? This stuff is all relative. That's why the gold standard is truly nonsense.
johnedwards1968 2 years ago
Problem is Gold should be equivalent to the US Federal Reserve note.
You can never save for your future if the inflation slowly eats away your savings.
Gold is just a store of value it has some industrial uses but its just a pretty metal.
Who want to save in US Fed Notes its like working for nothing.
boots920 2 years ago
The price of gold in 1910 was a single dollar for an ounce of gold. That's why US currency was believed to be "as good as gold" prior to the Federal Reserve coming into power.
Seriously, this goverment believes it can print prosperity out of thin air instead of hard work. It's paid for the "War on Terror", goverment expansion, Gitmo etc all on inflation.

Mugabe tried it he took the bread basket of Africa and turned it into the cesspool of Africa.
It took 20 years to destroy his country with the UN and all the other ya hoo globalist orgs on stand bye.
What I'm witnessing is since 1971 is counterfeiting of world reserve currency. This kind of bone head , inept, hamster, moronic, small dish soap thinking has destroyed the entire fiat money system.
We have to save in precious metal for our future because we have bozo the clown in control of fiat$.

Couldn't agree more.

I really don't understand why the taxpayers trust their government, not one rule of law is being followed.
1) Congress Declares War - Not War Criminals
2) You don't fly 365 tons of US currency into a war zone (Iraq) give it out without audit, lose track of 3,000 Ak's and expect good results.
3) No audit on US gold reserves looks like they're all gone
4) Presidents by law need to be natural born
The list of violations of the US constitution with hamster taxpayers waving flags is surreal.

@boots920
The "leaders" of our government should be taken out of Washington DC in chains and put into Federal Prisons for crimes against the constitution.
Keep going Boots920. I've been reading your post and your spot on.

If you really want to know what's going on watch a Brian Gerrish vid on Subversion.
Common Purpose the idea is to destroy society inside out.
Just gets a little weird when your own government is doing it.
Really complex stuff the want the sheople to riot so they can implement the Police State so the only way to fix the debacle is through lawful rebellion.
You have to identify the idiots like Obama is one he's not even eligible to be President.
Impeach the puppet go on from there, no violence.
