Ronald Reagan was a good man! I think that despite completely disagreeing with many of his views. Unfortunately near the end of his last term he suffered from early symptoms of the disease that killed him! Not for a second do I think he ended the cold war, Russia's system was doomed from the start, as are several other similar systems sure to come and go. He did appose it and stood firmly against it. His worst moment was truly negotiating with terrorist in Iran and giving arms to some truly horrible dictatorships in central America. He also ended many programs which helped many Americans such as the one my own family benefited from it after my father past when I was 1 year old, followed by 5 older siblings up to 10. With out the program which he cut. I don't see how we possibly would have made it! we were lucky he cut it the last year the family was eligible.
He staunchly apposed Medicare and among some of his quotes, which you don't have here I think he said we would end up a communist country if it passed. Hmmmm I guess we have to give it a few more decades, centuries?
Those are some funny bumper sticker slogans Raven Laughing

great for Kool-Aid drinkers whom just see things Right or Left, Liberal or Conservative Mad

the great communicator knew how to win elections and how to beat up on the left like no other!

Thanks for sharing,

As i am not an american, and 'maby' have a different objective view.

I cannot believe 1 man make al these decisions.
Personaly i think it are time based moments , things are decided in that period , who ever is president.
They only need someone to message these decisions.
For me it is al a hoax.
In all country.
I also cannot understand parading for 1 man.
So as i cant understand going to a concert , just to see this band or person and freakout when there.
I cant understand putting al hope to 1 man.
There's aloth i dont understand, especialy for the things that arent even needed.

I'm glad you covered my *ss in this post alien73.
A simple thought containing some hope,is the one when think: "Some day....".
But things not come from itself, who knows... we might need the kind of persons who we not understand!
Maby my or our thoughts are the ones from the future.

PS: alien73, is that something you think of much? ( the future)

My favorite saying is "You never know" anything is possible. Just be humble.. The future is everything cause the past is gone!
