Reagan Said It Best

[Political Junky]

Was this before or after he cut and run in Beirut?

Was this before or after Iran Contra?

Was this before or after Immigration Amnesty?

Wow. I always thought you were just dog-shit stupid. But this proves it beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Ah, and now you will deny that these things happened under Reagan?

No doubt, he will deny they happened.

No one denying a damned thing. As a matter of course they did. Water under the bridge...lesson learned but detracts from the OP.

Got it sport?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Well played, sir!

So the OP falsely attributes an obscure quote to Reagan and that makes him clever? I guess that means everyone is supposed to google everything Rabbi posts to see whether he is lying or not.

...come to think of it, that IS a good idea.

You fell for it.

Whatever that means, so did you.

 

[NYcarbineer]

What Reagan did that most pisses off the Left was he made people feel good about America again.

Reagan made people feel good about being and American.

Carter had spent four years explaining to us all why we were bad and why we should expect and accept a future of limits and recession.

The country divides into two groups: Those who remember how the Carter years felt and those who are finding out.

You obviously don't remember 1981 and 82.

Actually i never attributed the quotation to Reagan. Al I did was post Reagan's name in the thread title. Idiots like NYCarobhead jumped to the conclusion that Reagan said it because they couldn't imagine a Democrat could voice such pro American sentiments.
The Democratic Party is long dead. Their politicians like Humphrey, Muskie and the rest would be strangers and unwelcome guests at a modern Dem convention.

So despite your thread title 'REAGAN SAID IT BEST', you still wish to claim that you didn't attribute it to Reagan?

lol, that's a kneeslapper.

Longest post-war economic expansion. Yes, it did work out well.

Wrong. November 1982 to July of 1990 - 'Reagan' expansion.

March 1991 to March 2001 - 'Clinton' expansion.

And Clinton did it without running up massive deficits and debt.

If he didn't run the deficit, then please explain debt increase every single year? Give it a try...

Fiscal
Year ...National Debt ... Deficit
FY1993 $4.411488 trillion
FY1994 $4.692749 trillion $281.26 billion
FY1995 $4.973982 trillion $281.23 billion
FY1996 $5.224810 trillion $250.83 billion
FY1997 $5.413146 trillion $188.34 billion
FY1998 $5.526193 trillion $113.05 billion
FY1999 $5.656270 trillion $130.08 billion
FY2000 $5.674178 trillion $17.91 billion
FY2001 $5.807463 trillion $133.29 billion

I didn't know it wasn't a Reagan quote, sure...but I didn't join the spittle-flinging dogpile, wither.

Doesn't matter who said it, in the long run. It's a good quote.

Show me where I attributed the quote to Reagan. Or STFU.

It says 'a leader' not 'the leader'.

So you don't believe in American exceptionalism?

 

[NYcarbineer]

What would you want your president saying?
This

Every citizen in this country has a stake in the emergence of the United States as a leader in the free world.

Or this:

In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.

What buffoon said the second quote?

Surely no American would say such a thing.

The second quote is exactly right.

It was reference (for example) to things like this:

BBC NEWS | Europe | Outrage at 'old Europe' remarks

Rumsfeld being arrogantly dismissive and derisive towards Europe:

"Germany has been a problem and France has been a problem," Mr Rumsfeld told Washington's foreign press corps on Wednesday.
"But you look at vast numbers of other countries in Europe, they're not with France and Germany... they're with the US.

"You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't," he said. "I think that's old Europe."

Very first post of yours on this thread.

No, I believe in national humility.

And what is American Exceptionalism based upon?

Note that Americans go to war to fight for liberty...not conquest.

In which I said this:

Reagan almost singlehandedly engineered the borrow and spend death spiral that this country has been in for almost 30 years.

which has absolutely nothing to do with the quote.

Question:

Could I PAY you to stop being an asshole? Give me a starting figure we can negotiate from.

Right. We don't hold onto occupied territory, like Israel.

Then try this on for size:

The United States of America is the only nation in all of history that's had the power to take over the world...but refused to.
