Sunday, February 6, 2011: HAPPY 100TH, MR. PRESIDENT! R.I.P.

[ProFreedomForAll]

After the Carter years, the military was demoralized and the country was in a deep funk. Then came Reagan and made us feel so proud to serve America again. You don't get to pick your commander-in-chief except with your individual vote...but I was extremely proud to serve under Reagan and decided to make a career of the military becasue of his inspiring leadership. May he rest in eternal peace.

11:16 "Open this gate" and "Tare down this wall."

@bayushizero

Believe it or not Bush actually beat him. In part because Bush didn't come into office with a situation like Reagan did.

I may hate Reagan, but this speech and his role in the fall of the CCCP are just magnificent.

@kswifts1 even though i know its been a year since you stated this i bet you are still just as stupid. The Berlin wall stopped people from leaving we want to make a wall to stop illegals from entering illegally. Do you know the difference? Let me put it this way any one (illegal or legal) or always welcome to leave anytime they want and dont have to worry about being riddled with bullets.

I wanna be as good a speeker as Mr. Raegan...

In Georgia(country) Reagan is a great person, which helped to all occupied nations to see freedom. Berlin's wall fell down, and all walls of evil necessarily will fall!!!!!!!!

@Assassinscreed0925 Actually, the economy in the 1980's was A LOT better than it is now and better than when Carter was in office. I remember Ronald Reagan. He was a great president. He loved this country. Research the man because what you say sounds very ignorant when it comes to the subject of Ronald Reagan. Sounds like you get your information from those who, I personally believe, hate this country!

@Assassinscreed0925

reagan saved the economy, he stopped run away inflation and ended crippling regulations and made the country prosperous again

@Fraulein2901 the problem wasnt that berlin was separated between the 4 powers, its that the soviets blocked their half from the rest of the world and surpressed some of their freedoms
