"iran-contra". hit up a history book, see what you don't learn. That's one angle. Illegally funding (against the explicit orders of Congress) rebel armies to drag out the senseless and brutal wars in Central America. Remember those raped nuns and murdered priests? How about his slashing of funds for social services in the US, sending an untold number of mentally-ill homeless persons onto our streets? Remember "ketchup is a vegetable?" That was his administration's approach to school lunches. Nice. I could go on, but discussing Reagan makes my stomach hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that's part of the job description for politicians. You think the Greatest American should make crass decisions without thinking of consequences.

Members yaz75 Posted June 27, 2005 Members Share Posted June 27, 2005 Originally posted by TigerInATrance That show proved that the american people are foolish morons with no concept of what their country is really supposed to be all about. So is the country supposed to be about what you agree with and nothing more? This is another example of someone who believes that their perspective is obviously correct and everyone else is a moron. I only see about 50 of these a day on here. Abe Lincoln caused the Civil War...If you honestly believe that statement, then you really need to do some reading. Ever hear of John Brown? Harpers Ferry? A far more likely President to blame would be James Buchanan for his inactivity. Licoln inherited a situation that was coming to a head whether he liked it or not.

Members yaz75 Posted June 27, 2005 Members Share Posted June 27, 2005 Originally posted by catalinbread Yay! I heard about this Discovery Channel show in passing. I wasn't emotionally wrapped up in it or anything but when I see that Reagan was in the top 10 I knew he'd win and I knew it was a conspiracy. It could be that Americans really believe that. In which case that could be cause all the media does is pushes the greatness of this puppet in late stages of Alzheimer's as being a great American. I mean America voted for the results on this show it must be so. Everyday I try to live my life and hope that overall we will all make the right choices for this country and ultimately the world. But I am increasingly feeling like no chance in hell. Reminds me of when I went to Hannity's page and they were asking "Should Reagan be put on the US money?" Yes or No. Air America's Majority report mentioned that people should go vote NO. So 8000 "no's" and 150 "yes's" were cast. Later they had to change the question to "What denomination should Ronald Reagan's likeness be put on?" Air America? The moment you stated that I tuned you out as being just as partisan as anyone else here. Is the cheese on that table over there? Because the whine over here is pretty good.

Members Brian Marshall Posted June 27, 2005 Members Share Posted June 27, 2005 I think there is a lot of sympathy for Ronald Reagan, and a lot of people probably feel nostalgic about him. I have mixed feelings about him. At least he had some charisma, which neither of the bushes do. I'm almost shocked that hanity would align himself with reagan. Although Reagan spent a lot of time talking to the far right, his policies in many cases were similar to clintons. Both of them are probably the most center presidents we have had in the last 50 years. Anyways, Greatest American by far: Ben Franklin. BTW some of that {censored} on hanitys page is so gay.... i mean "hanity date" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read it a few places over the years. I think it was Peter Lawford who actually said it. I don't find her that attractive, so there must've been some reason for such folks as Lawford, Sinatra, Clark Gable, etc. to have not kicked her out of bed.

I dunno, but you just said a second ago that you were tuning him out completely for even mentioning Air America. So I can't imagine that you are anywhere near approaching balanced. At least someone who reads the rhetoric of the party he opposes is aware of where they're coming from, and reading it from the horses mouth, instead of falling back on reinterpretation through the partisan filters of liberal/conservative media sources.

I can not read his mind, do you claim to have that ability? He said he reads it, maybe he listens to Air America to get pissed off. I do know that he comes from a family with a heavy millitary background, and that would suggest a lean to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
