Thread Name: BS: Ronald Reagan - Sadly Missed
Subject: RE: BS: Ronald Reagan - Sadly Missed
What really pisses liberals off about Reagan was his belief in America and how he made people proud to be Americans again.

I am a liberal. I have never been anything other than proud to be an American. It has always been my conviction that America represented the greatest hope for a liberal world (meaning tolerant and fostering freedom). Please don't be stupid enough to think that the word "liberal" has any meaning other than those relating to freedom.



The only things that undermine that pride are the ravages of warmongering, illiteracy, anti-humanism and imperialism demonstrated by Bush fils.

Reagan commited a lot of stupid things but I have always been proud of the way he dealt with Gorby. I am sorry Gorby's own power base waned so suddenly. Reagan was lucky to have him on the stage -- if Russia had been led by a stupider man, Reagan's job would have been a lot tougher.

Go suck a rock.
