Conservatives love to call themselves "Reagan Conservatives."Sean Hannity when defending himself from a caller's accusation that the National debt went up during the Bush administration said I am a Reagan Conservative. Conservative Republicans think they are such paragons of virtue and truth Let us take a look at the Ronald Reagan they have deified.
By the end of the Reagan administration , 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved, the record of his administration was the worst ever to Do you Remember Casper Weinberger, or Edwin Meese to just name a few. Oliver North.
The National Debt went from 995 Billion to 2.98 Trillion The largest increase ever.
Reagan was a great statesman After President Reagan's trip to Europe President Mitterand of France asked Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau about Reagan: "What planet is he living on?" Mark Hertsgaard, wrote that "During Mr. Reagan's trip to Europe...members of the traveling press corps watched him doze off so many times – during speeches by French President Francois Mitterrand and Italian President Alessandro Pertini, as well as during a one-on-one audience with the Pope – that they privately christened the trip 'The Big Sleep.'" (On Bended Knee: The Press and the Reagan Presidency– David Nyhan, Boston Globe columnist wrote "He demonstrated for all to see how far you can go in this life with a smile, a shoeshine and the nerve to put your own fantasy on the facts."About gun in England Ronald Reagan claimed in April 1982 "In England, if a criminal carried a gun, even though he didn't use it, he was tried for first-degree murder and hung if he was found guilty". When informed that the story was "just not true," White House spokesman Larry Speaks said, "Well, it's a good story, though. It made the point, didn't it?" Reagan repeated the story again on March 21, 1986 during an interview with The New York Times. Yes he had no problem repeating a lie.
IRAN CONTRA Reagan funded the Contras in Nicaragua by with a bazaar plan to Free American Hostages held by a Lebanese Shia Islamist group. Can you remember the "Arms for hostages" scandal.
Reagan tripled the national debt, supported Apartheid, backed Saddam Heusan but oh did he make us feel good about America.
Oh we cannot forget Reagan when on the Sad day that the Marine Barracks in Lebanon was bombed by a suicide bomber Reagan made is first clear decision. He pulled all American Troops out of Lebanon. Yes my dear friends Reagan: 'CUT AND RAN'
Also, In reality, Reagan did nothing to bring down the Soviet Union. By 1980, the Soviet Union was trying to cut its own defense spending after the devastating war in Afghanistan. Islamic Fundamentalists brought down the Soviet Union See february post Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
So call yourselves Reagan Conservatives" It just just shows how out of touch with reality you are.

Why do you post as anonymously? If you would like to read my Dad's thoughts, give him an idea as to your identity so you may open up an honest dialogue. He is open to opinions that differ from his own. Comments like this are meaningless. I take it you just want to throw around a label as an insult. What is the point of that?
