@Lomback - i am your age and like most closed minded progressives, you have it all wrong because you don't think, you emote...
Under Reagan we created 28 million jobs..the median income climbed for ALL economic subgroups, created more millionaires...had the LARGEST peacetime expansion of the US economy and the longest, lasting over 14 years....until the policies of Bill Clinton and his tax increases killed the economy, created the Dot Com bubble burst, and lead to the recession of 2000-2001.
ronald reagan. the man who deregulated the banks. he allowed them regulate themselves and brought them into the oval office. where they still pull the strings of the puppet president barry soetoro. ex CIA operative. now you know who the slavemasters are. your zionist overlords.
@larrydelamb You however, just bitch on the internet about how everyone else is far more successful than you and attempt to convince yourself that is caused by your imagined evil in their hearts.
@Yababoos123 jajaja. talk is cheep and your brand is transparently geared towards morons. what a coincidence that your percieved enemies are people you want a piece of. namely to seize their land and natural resourses. heil obama.
Good video and I respect your interest in politics, far better than no views at all, here's a question for you (a good natured question i'm not starting an argument) What's your views on the muslims holding death to america signs? and would you say America had it coming? I'm curious for opions.
@sasman117; The Muslims who hold those signs are ignorant, misinformed, or on the extreme end of the ideological scale. Their message is utterly idiotic. America is easily one of the greatest forces for good in the world, and we can do much good for their nations. Unfortunately a combination of nationalism, bad experiences with the British and French, and reactionary Islam form a powerful buffer against our efforts there.
Also, the idea that "America had it coming" is ridiculous. IMO
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free -- Ronald Reagan
The Democrats say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith. They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities. My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view. -- Ronald Reagan
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
because without freedom, we have no right to protection because without freedom, we are slaves, and slaves dont have rights of their own, thus they have not right to safety, if they have any its given by their master. if we become slaves, then we are nothing, we would become less than human, we would be treated like a form of income or wealth, sure its a ways off, but i will not sit by the devel, i will not play with fire, you liberals, should do likewise, do not tread on me!
we need to stand up ladies and gentlemen, Reagan was right, on top of this i would say this, there are two types of people in this world, talkers, and doers, most are talkers, all they do is talk, but its the doers who change this world, and when they do that they change us, so which one are you? do you just talk about it? or do you stand up and do something about it?" its time to stand, tell everyone you know, that we want freedom! that we will not sell freedom for security!
when was it that we decided that being fair, was better than being moraly right and just? when was it that we decided that safety was more important than freedom? when was it that we decided to live on our knees so uncle sam can protect us and tell us where to work where to sleep where to eat and what to live for? even if that ensured my safety, i would not take it! Reagan has always been a man i strive to be like, because he knew what was needed, he knew how to show it to others, he was a man.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
should we live on our knees? i am no slave! I am a free man! and i will fight for my, and my fellow Americans freedom untill the day i die, and even if it will be the death of me, i would rather be free for a day then die, then live 100yrs on my knees, i will not, i can not, nor will i ever be a slave to socialism.
@bjustice35 Actually it is from the movie Requiem For a Dream. The song is named Lux Aeternal, but I am sure you can find it searching under Requiem For a Dream on youtube. Not to step on YoungCons' feet, just being saying.
Sometimes it is better to fight then give in, but their are other times where it's better, and wiser, and more brave, to surrender then to fight. You have to pick and choose your battles. Sometimes all fighting does, is ensure more fighting will continue.. Sometimes surrendering IS stronger, and braver, then fighting back
@husbandfatherworker really depends on the situation I cant think of any off the top of my head, I've never been one to quit but having said that, it has been a downfall from time to time
Big words from a Hollywood cowboy, but that's all they are, words out of the mouth of a very convincing actor. An actor of few morals and dubious connections.
May I ask...Why is there no more Ronald Regans? We have to step up to the plate and play hard ball people. VOTE THEM OUT!!! TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA!!! Praying for you, Kat
@tucker672 Thatcher drove unemployment past 4 million and destroyed british industry. What freedom fighter will undo the damage they've done? Obviously not Obama.
Now this was a President!! A wise man, a fearless man and a man who loved his country with all his heart a man who is the very essence of a patriot. freedom was is call, whats yours?
@PavelZajec Reagan is a myth. Study history. He grew govt. and started the process of where we are today. Burried in debt and trading our souls to the bankers and giant corporations.
This is very good propaganda though.
The evidence is there look for it. Afer Reagin we had a bigger govt. and more taxes.
No-bigger taxes and more government came with Clinton"s term. Regan inherited a horrible economy from Carter, who would ahve been better off farming peanuts.
@Lombokstrait1 yeah the numbers are there to the plain pupil. look into to history, for example, bill clinton. Had great numbers. He rose taxes dramatically and cut defense spending by historic numbers. Reagan, had to spend money on the cold war and grew the economy (lowered taxes). Clinton also entered presidency after bush senior who stimulated the middle east with the gulf war. This brough 10$ gas prices. The numbers dont always reflect the job someone did.
@iowahawkeye4485 wow. you are fucking retarded. You logic leads absolutely no where. Reagan simply taxed the future... he started the process of where we are today. Massive spending. Clinton was a tool as well, but for different reasons, he helped pass Graham/Blyley (sp?) and the commodity modernization act; a republican agenda all the way. And now enjoy the cooking, the US of A is screwed. Obama is basically republican as well.
@PavelZajec He was THE MAN who increased taxes 11 times, was the most reckless conservative spender until Dubya, bailed out S & L, and was strictly anti-union, despite being president of the Screen Actors Guild. I guess a noble and hard working actor deserves a union while those lazy miners, air traffic control workers, and factory workers do not. He was pretty impressive for a grinning vegetable.
You're equating a bunch of dirty hippies in a cave to one of the largest and most brutal empires to ever exist on the face of the earth. Comparing a relatively weak international terrorist cell to t/ might of t/ Soviet Empire is laughable at best. We have legitimate national security concerns and should imprison or kill their membership when possible, but its a new age of warfare which requires new tactics... or we'll soon find ourselves in t/ same boat as the Soviets by overreaching militarily.
@ProdigalSonofLiberty And the problem here is we're not facing an enemy with borders, we're facing an ideology. And the liberals currently in power are willing to kneel before these people whom you so easily dismiss. So yeah, i'd say we have just as big a problem.
@TheBeardOfPower As the saying goes- I don't doubt their intent, I doubt their capability. Had GW Bush been vigilant during the beginning of his presidency 9/11 never would have happened. Had Clinton been vigilant and killed Osama bin Laden, 9/11 never would have happened. The neoconservative foreign policy is naiive at best and unsustainable in the long term. Again different enemy, different kind of warfare, yet we try to use the same tactics. Apparently we've learned nothing from the Cold War.
I still think that Reagan wasn't the president. Thomas Jefferson was the best we've had.
