Reagan is nothing at all like today's radical Republicans. That said, Reagan was a flawed President. His policies in the Middle East proved to be disastrous and it was economic policy that led us to a recession by the latter part of his second term.
It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to be able to order the assassination of the world’s most infamous terrorist in Pakistan years after launching one’s political career in the living room of another infamous terrorist in Chicago. But such nuances are nothing new for Barack Obama.
After all, he used to work for ACORN, America’s best known urban terrorist group, a radical socialist outfit that masquerades as a public-spirited service organization.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This guy is so overrated. Yeah, his administration allowed businesses to grow and gave them opportunities to create more jobs. However, his combination of deregulation and deunionization gave the very wealthy too much power. Plus, the contributions to the "War on Drugs." The policies of the Reagan administration were mostly benificial to the really rich. The mess we are in now is the result of out of hand "Reaganomics" and globalization. He might be the worst thing to have happened to the US.
@metaldude82 Look at facts and figures. If you're old enough, try remembering the 80's and how better off we were as a nation, and how better off we all were. Yeah, the drug war sucks. The one negative. But even the dirt poor back then could find work, and work their way up. Now, it's misinformed like you who demand a handout, robbing money from someone else who rightfully earned it. The rich are who run companies and create jobs. Not the government.
@martymcfett He came into a bad economic situation where things could only improve. In the longrun, his administration helped allow the gap between the wealthy and the poor to grow astronomically. It also helped the cost of living go out of proportion with salaries, gave banks excessive freedom and allowed many jobs to be sent overseas. He cut spending in government programs and increased it in the War on Drugs. The first Bush and Clinton administrations were better for the country.
The decline of America is in freefall speed now.That arsehole you have now as President has walked you into a policestate : what do you plan on doing about it ?
Reagan: “If no one among is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?” Compare that humility, that recognition of the proper role of government, to the arrogance of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid secular socialist machine.

His book on oceanography is still considered a basic text on the subject and is still used in universities. Maury used the Bible as a guide to scientific discovery. The Hydrologic Water Cycle Revealed in the Bible: Job 36:27-28 The water cycle was not fully understood until about 30 B.C. by a Roman engineer named Marcus Vitruvius.
Yet every aspect of the water cycle was fully revealed to mankind in 1600 B.C.! The Bible's description is in perfect harmony with modern science.
A few (of the 1000's) reference proofs are 1- the earth is round (Job 26:10, Prov 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, Amos 9:6.) showed 2500 years before man discovered it to be fact. "paths of the sea" in Psalms 8:8 Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is considered the father of oceanography.
Proved this to also be accurate but not until his lifetime just over 100 years ago.
muslims. pass is shown far in advance of the world at the time... you get all most enough that faith is not needed however, it shows how much more correct and in tune with universal ... such as: Well no I (or anyone of sufficient intelligence) needs any reference source other then the bible to prove its self. That there are 1000 of sufficient points in the bible to show it was written by the supreme being is evidence enough.
President Reagan gave this speech today 31 years ago! His words ring so true today! How I wish we had a Reagan 2.0 running for President in 2012! I served in the Navy under Reagan as my C in C. "Peace Thru Strength" was a phrase that echoed thru my young mind in those years! He and Navy Secretary John Lehman rebuilt our navy to nearly 600 ships strong! America's got the message loud and clear APPEASEMENT IS OVER! He bankrupted the Soviet Union and ended the Cold War! HELLUVA MAN & LEADER R.I.P.
@CrypticWatcher Uh, no Ron Paul's message of Freedom is very similar to Reagan's as I listen to this speech. Ron Paul was one of the few in congress at the time that supported Reagan's bid for president. Sure, Ron Paul is not as good of a communicator as Reagan and they have their ideological differences.

Reagan was a shite president. He was an unwitting corporate puppet and the antithesis of fiscal responsibility. He shouldn't be credited with winning the cold war- the Soviet Union collapsed due to decades of overspending and mismanagement.
Total financial disaster. America went from the largest creditor to the largest debtor during his administration. Size of government expanded even larger than before and he raised taxes for most people.

what is funny is that "watchers like him" dont seem to remember that people came here from england for "freedom to worship which WAS NOT ALLOWED THERE" so they could worship and live free from government control...YET they (in sick liberal broken mind think) wanted to free to government from religion LMFAO!!!!

@phoenixbornagain what is your point with the quotes? anyone can pull that support their these are all personal communications, not official documents to be considered by the government. face it to push a religious agenda IS unconstitutional.
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God.

see, even though our founding fathers are followers of christianity, they did not wish that religion(christianity) should become a tenet of govt.
@CrypticWatcher You're blind to the reasoning of the FF's. They didn't want a "state sponsored" church, or religion. Christianity was the glue that bound this Nation together during its' founding, and still has a prominent position in it today.
It's slimy low-lifes that want Christianity dispelled from the community, because you view it as a threat.
@AnAmericanSon good, if you run out of "reason", just pull out the insults.
did you forget what all this waste of time was about? it was about how religious arguments and passing laws based on religious reasons is a violation of the first amendment, no one refute your assertions that Christianity played a part the development of these United States.
the government is founded on the hope that all members of all faith will be free to practice their religion and the government will favor none and promote none.
@AnAmericanSon also Christianity as the glue during the founding is an absolute LIE, the complaint of the revolutionaries was unfair treatment by the british crown toward the colonies. for example, taxation without representation and the quartering act.
the real glue of revolution is liberty and freedom from oppression. all of their complaints are in the declaration.
the revolutionaries didn't fight for God, they fought for freedom. and all americans should remember that.
@CrypticWatcher "Christianity as the glue during the founding is an absolute LIE"-Woohoo! Who let you out of your padded room alone? Religious persecution was one of the many reason they left to begin with. Do you read books, or use them as kindling?
My family members fought with Francis Marion, and believe me God played a huge part in why they fought the British. You really need a better education.
@AnAmericanSon religious freedom(for members of all faith) doesn't equal the glue of the revolution. who turned off you brain?
Francis Marion? Believe you? absolutely not, what bullshit argument is that? "hey, that guy might have invoked God, there everything must be about God and religion" I guess you're just going to ignore the declaration?
Back up your every assertion with fact, not with your personal belief.
stop drinking from the neocon cool-aid, be a skeptic and think critically.
@CrypticWatcher "Back up your every assertion with fact, not with your personal belief." You do the same with your hyperbole. I can't help it if your education is woefully short, abd you read from your Leftist-Socialist crib notes.
A Christian God, Providence was involved in nearly everything our FF's did for this Nation. But they realized they needed to be all inclusive of religion, but they never thought people like you would use that Freedom against our Nation....
you choose to believe that all the FF accomplishments was not based on their ability but by their belief in God, then that is your right. a wrong assumption, but still you are within your rights
if you say it is not unconstitutional to push christian religious rules as a basis for government law. there you are wrong. you are putting Christianity above all others
compared to your elementary school education, I think I'm doing okay.
@CrypticWatcher "you choose to believe that all the FF accomplishments was not based on their ability but by their belief in God"-Twist those words "grasshopper".
I said, "Providence was involved in nearly everything our FF's did for this Nation.". There's a difference, and now you're being disingenuous about it.
I don't hear anyone crying about us not allowing Mormons to have multiple wives, do you? You pushing for gay-marriage indicates you have a personal stake in it?
No, I am not a homosexual, nor do I have friends that are homosexuals if that is what you are implying.
I think it is wrong for the government to have banned polygamy based on their religious arguments of the time, but that does not mean that since they are giving a free pass, so can we. If you want to repel the Utah state constitution, go ahead, I'll support you.
“Providence was involved in nearly everything our FF's did for this Nation”, if you are saying the FF did all their work because it is God’s will, then we can’t have a discussion, you are going beyond facts on the paper to belief.
@CrypticWatcher Twisting those words again eh? Moral absolutism? What a shame you try childish arguments.
The FF's were trying to create something good, so of course Providence was involved in everything, and consideration. It wasn't the only thing as you purport me to have claimed.
@AnAmericanSon I don't think that in every good action is guided by God, I believe that man can have control his destiny. I believe man as inherently good and that God serves as the "GPS" of our lives, we can follow it, but it is not strictly required to live good and moral lives, I donate to charity, volunteer at my church, but I believe it is my choice to help people, not because God wills it. if I convert or abandon the church, I would still do the charitable thing I did while in church
@AnAmericanSon thank you, but I disagree with your statement that it is because of God, that the FF accomplished their tasks, I think it is because of their actions and their commitment to liberty and choice that we can live in a society that allow religion to be expressed in anyway. but that does not include pushing for legislation because of religious belief.
@CrypticWatcher "I disagree with your statement that it is because of God, that the FF accomplished their tasks" You're still doing the moral absolutism thing...
@AnAmericanSon look, you can't prove or disprove God, besides you can't say whatever God wills is good, Al Qaida believe that carrying out their despicable terrorist attacks are justified because Allah(God) or providence is involved.
you can't use faith as proof, it is an opinion, your opinion, it cannot be accepted as a fact because other might not share your opinion. that's why in a court of law, lawyer don't present opinions and belief as evidence.
"My client didn't kill the victim because I have faith in him" that just sounds ridiculous, don't you think?
I'm sure any Muslim will disagree with your statement that Allah has nothing to do with Providence. I can't comment on that since I'm not muslim.
@CrypticWatcher Having Faith in God is entirely different from having faith in a human. he two are not comparable in any way, shape, or form and you know it.
@AnAmericanSon I can't have a serious logical conversation based in facts with a person that trust all aspects of his life and of those around him to an invisible omnipotent being. since all evidence(actually, not just evidence, everything) presented is inevitably explained as the actions or the will the same omnipotent being.
@AnAmericanSon we went too far from the original discussion of the constitutionality of adding religious guidance to government policy.
if government were to finally accept a religious argument, which religion should we choose? Christianity? Islam? Judaism? Hinduism? or a variation of Paganism? choosing any of them is a violation of the first amendment since it elevated some religions over others.

@CrypticWatcher that is where you are wrong, "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps."
No, the FF founded this government and the protection it affords us on the basis of the Enlightenment principles first championed by European thinkers like Montesquieu, Locke, Burke, and to a lesser extent, Hobbes. the proof is in the constitution. research Enlightenment and constitution.
@AnAmericanSon Yes. I saw a undercover video on PBS that shows most liberals when they sing up with the DNC undergo a ritual in the DNC headquarters that has a pentagram and a stick of butter
@CrypticWatcher "Government regulating who is allowed to marry is unconstitutional, Ronald Reagan knew that, so he campaigned against anti-gay legislations." Really? How is it un-Constitutional?
Also, recognizing marriage as being between a man and a woman is not anti-gay.
@AnAmericanSon well since opponents alway argue in defense traditional family values based on the christian faith, in fact they often quote scripture, government supporting a religious cause either way is violating the establishment clause of the constitution.
recognizing marriage between a man and a woman and awarding couples benefits as such is antigay. the government has no business regulating it
Reagan's liberal policies? raised taxes, increased budget, large debt, amnesty to illegals
@CrypticWatcher "raised taxes"-LIE. Reagan closed loopholes, broadened the tax base, while lowering taxes. This increased revenue from taxation.
"increased budget, large debt"-After Carter's decimation of the military it was necessary to rebuild it.
"amnesty to illegals"-Reagan granted amnesty to @3-million illegals with a promise from a Dem Congress to secure the borders. We're still waiting for those promises to be fulfilled.
@CrypticWatcher "recognizing marriage between a man and a woman and awarding couples benefits as such is antigay"-You view it as anti-gay, we view it as pro-family.
A couple within a civil union, regardless of gender affiliation will get the same Rights afforded them as married couples. This would be the correct approach, as under DOMA.
Afterall, if the fruit-cups aren't stopped, next they'll want to marry their goat. That won't fly...

@CrypticWatcher The phrase "separation of church and state" itself does not appear in the United States Constitution. The First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." = From Wikipedia
So how could it be "unconstitutional?" Its not and we all know it but I just love seeing liberal flop around
@phoenixbornagain Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Meaning that the government will not favor one religion, therefore, urging your lawmakers to enact on a law because it fulfills your interpretation of a particular religion is unconstitutional.
@CrypticWatcher well no. 1- congress can not create and enforce a religion & 2 - they may not outlaw a religion, thus prevent one from worshiping they way they want.
This is no way excludes those serving in state or federal government from serving in a way in which their religious beliefs can not guide their method of conduct, AND since as I stated since "separation of church and state ARE NO WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION it can not be unconstitutional. The founders based all government of man to

This man is one of the biggest fraud in Presidential history, People who think Saint Ronnie was a fiscal conservative are delusional. He outspent all 39 of his predicessors, bringing the national debt from $900 billion in '81 to over $2.6 trillion in '89, then Fed Chairman Paul Volker, who was originally apointed by Carter, got inflation under control, he didn't single handilly win the Cold War, and was the father of the modern Neo Conservative/Tea Bagger RepubliCON party.
@mr19932001 1.7 trillion over 8 years is peanuts. Obama's deficit was equal to that in one year. Question: Are you better off now than you were in 2009 when Obama took office? As far as ending the cold war Reagan was the main force behind it. Ever hear the famous " Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall" speech? It was already in the works. Reagan outspent Russia in an arms build up race and Russia never fully recovered after invading Afghanistan in the mid 70's. Do your homework!!!!
@bowlinggod702 $1.7 trillion over 8 years wasen't considered peanuts in the '80's, and as far as your question goes, the answer is obviosully no, but not many people would've said they were better of in 1982 early '83 when the unemployment rate was 10.8% than \they were when Reagan first took office in '81 when it was 7.5%. These things take time, Bush left Obama a mess even worse than the one the acting president inherited from Carter.
@mr19932001 you are correct bush did leave obama a mess.obama doubled down on everything that's wrong with washington.no president in history has been more inept-unpresidential-corrupt-racist-anti business-anti america as this tragic acorn trained liar.our BLAME-ish clown is now quite diminished and clearly a failure of historic nature.his legacy is sealed and a lesson to be learned.dont vote for failed community organizers.no worries though as on 01=20-13=END OF AN ERROR:):):)
@bowlinggod702 The Soviets invading Afghanistan was what really caused the downfall in the first place, but one might also say that some of the steps Nixon took in the early '70's also contributed to the colapse, and in general, their communist economic system was flawed. Reagan made his contributions, but let's not get carried away and a lot of what Reagan did in the mid east contributed to the problems we have there today (al queda, Bin Laden, etc...) .
you liberals really have to stop associating us tea baggers with republicans.... we are for the people, personal liberty and the constitution,But we are activists against the establishment, we are against both the democrats and the republicans because the are exactly the same entity republicans being the lesser of two evils. we are for getting rid of the government. Reagan was a liberal big government donkey. please don't associate us with this man. associate us with President Robert Taft
@palmers989 If you're against both parties, why do you still vote republican?

And by the way, we never had a President Robert Taft, we had a William Howard Taft as President. LOL!!!!!!
@whitemanwaydownsouth Good question. If people used a condom, their would be no need for them, but at the same time, if a person isn't fit to care for a child and can't find anyone to adopt it, there's no reason for that child to live a life of misery with a person who isn't going to love it, or care for it, and whether or not the fetus is a life, it is still apart of the woman's body, and a woman should have the choice to do what she thinks is best in that situation.
@mr19932001 i get it, the whole burden on society thing, makes sense.and the government shouldnt be telling people what to do with their bodies. we can all agree on that.
@mr19932001 The woman has the complete RIGHT to NOT have sex if they (he & she) can't be responsible. She does NOT have the Right to kill a completely defenseless human-being because she doesn't want to be bothered with the child.

--Adams wrote this on June 28, 1813, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson.
@phoenixbornagain "Separation of Church and State" is, and has always been the only place that I fault the Founding Fathers for not being more clear in their intent. That separation was to prevent the creation of a "state sponsored church" similar to the Church of England.
You can not separate God from our Nation since it is recognized that our Rights come from God, not man. Thusly, our Rights can not be abridged by men, or the fed'l gov't.

From Afghanistan to the Economy to oil spills, the Obama administration lackluster record highlights a Presidency of ineptitude, incompetence and inability to respond in times of national emergency.

Ronald Reagan: the begining of the end for the middle class americans. He was a racist, terrorist funding piece of shit who I hope he rots in hell for eternally
@thebadguy08 Yet he was the one that single handedly defeated the Soviet Union without sending in a single troop. He was also the one to lower unemployment to under 1% and helped the economy become a strong force.
If anything, you should go straight to hell for trying to make a mockery out of the one of the only decent presidents our county has ever had.
For all our self diluting illusional liberal fools who want to try and make everyone think because they hope its true that they want Obama to win...here is a bitter pill we will enjoy helping them swallow ^_^ hehehe
"Poll: Americans, 2-1, Fear Obama's Reelection" When it comes to how Americans view President Obama going into the new year, there appears to be very little spirit of Auld Lang Syne.
Reagan had lived through the 1920s and 1930s and he reconsidered the evidence for cutting tax rates. The Twenties were the prosperous decade of tax cuts and the Thirties were the depressed decade of tax hikes. He began to believe that connection was more than coincidence. When the U. S. economy went into to a tailspin in the 1970s, Reagan saw the price controls under Nixon and the restrictions on oil production under Carter as being a problem, not a solution
When Reagan reached adulthood, he supported FDR for president. People (like those in his family) were hungry and FDR gave them jobs. Big government seemed to be an answer. But as he grew older and worked with the public he saw the tyranny of federal power. Also, he began to realize that no nation could spend its way into prosperity.
Donaldson to Ted Kennedy, admitted that Reagan had changed the world and had done so with candor and honesty. Third, Reagan was teachable. That trait was essential. If one has vision and character, he must also be teachable to make his life flow in a constructive direction. Course corrections are needed because none of us has life figured out at age thirty. We have to believe in something and we have force of character, but we also have to be ready to modify. Reagan was Best of the last 11 POTUS
@powerhawk2000 so being the world largest creditor in the world when Ronnie entered the office and 8 years later we were the largest debtor in the world! Yeah I can see where a dim witted moron such as yourself would think that is a good idea. Gee, lets see if I take out 2.5 trillion and put in a credit card do ya think I might have some fun? Also your belief that ronnie ended the cold war? He came along in act 5 idiot - thank his 5 predecessors for that drone!
Often they were contradictory; all of them failed. Reagan was more consistent because he had vision: He knew where he wanted to go and how he wanted to get there.
Second, Reagan had character, and in the eyes of America’s Founders, character was a necessary ingredient for greatness. Reagan stood for a set of ideas, and when trouble came he looked not to polls, but instead he applied courage, kindness, and persistence to achieve his ends. At the end of his presidency, his critics, from Sam
@powerhawk2000 people like you so desperately want to believe in something that you completely make shit up. Everything is based off opinion with you fools. Reagan was an alzheimer stricken sack of crap who sold his soul to the devil. He followed in the same foot steps with Thatcher and look at them now! A gutted and hollowed out economy - just pushing paper. Gee that's a great recipe for the select few! Get a life you chimp!
production he tried to move in a consistent direction of greater freedom and less government. According to Dinesh D’Souza, “Reagan’s greatness derives in large part from the fact that he was a visionary—a conceptualizer who was able to see the world differently from the way it was.” Reagan knew where he wanted to go: Jimmy Carter, by contrast, had multiple plans to create energy, to generate revenue, and to cut inflation. Carter is now the 2nd worst in history after OBAMA
Since President Reagan left the White House in 1989, the U. S. has stumbled, so it is wise to ponder why Reagan did so well. Was it natural intelligence or careful political training? Not really, and that fact both galls and baffles his critics.
Reagan had three parts to his genius. First, he was a visionary; he believed that people wanted freedom and would do well when more of it was given to them. Whether he was undermining the Soviets, challenging an unlawful union, or deregulating oil
No president of the 20th century had a more positive and enduring influence than Ronald Reagan, who was born 99 years ago today. Other presidents, from Wilson to FDR, exceeded Reagan in their impact, but much of it was negative. Sure, they won wars, but they almost destroyed the American economy as well. Reagan, by contrast, won the Cold War and also revived the American economy from decades of abuse. He was successful both at home and abroad.

Reagan is nothing at all like today's radical Republicans. That said, Reagan was a flawed President. His policies in the Middle East proved to be disastrous and it was economic policy that led us to a recession by the latter part of his second term.

It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to be able to order the assassination of the world’s most infamous terrorist in Pakistan years after launching one’s political career in the living room of another infamous terrorist in Chicago. But such nuances are nothing new for Barack Obama.
After all, he used to work for ACORN, America’s best known urban terrorist group, a radical socialist outfit that masquerades as a public-spirited service organization.

However, his combination of deregulation and deunionization gave the very wealthy too much power. Plus, the contributions to the "War on Drugs."

@AnAmericanSon we went too far from the original discussion of the constitutionality of adding religious guidance to government policy.
if government were to finally accept a religious argument, which religion should we choose? Christianity? Islam? Judaism? Hinduism? or a variation of Paganism? choosing any of them is a violation of the first amendment since it elevated some religions over others.

@CrypticWatcher "raised taxes"-LIE. Reagan closed loopholes, broadened the tax base, while lowering taxes. This increased revenue from taxation.
"increased budget, large debt"-After Carter's decimation of the military it was necessary to rebuild it.
"amnesty to illegals"-Reagan granted amnesty to @3-million illegals with a promise from a Dem Congress to secure the borders. We're still waiting for those promises to be fulfilled.

Reagan had lived through the 1920s and 1930s and he reconsidered the evidence for cutting tax rates. The Twenties were the prosperous decade of tax cuts and the Thirties were the depressed decade of tax hikes. He began to believe that connection was more than coincidence. When the U. S. economy went into to a tailspin in the 1970s, Reagan saw the price controls under Nixon and the restrictions on oil production under Carter as being a problem, not a solution
