The Myths of Reaganomics

[CrusaderFrank]

The American Left is the Home of Socialism/Communism/Fascism so of course they hate Reagan and continue to try to portray him as a dunce; he killed their home team.

Here's a Handy Greatest Enemies of the Left List. The people they hate and will never forgive.

Joe McCarthy: Warned us about Soviet infiltration in US Government and outed Alger Hiss as a geniune Communist spy

Richard Nixon: As a Congressman on the HUAC insisted that they pursue the accusations against Alger Hiss, a man who turned out to be a genuine Communist

Ronald Reagan: called the American Left home team an Evil empire, refused to surrender any more territory to them, opened a global campaign of challenging and defeating their surrogates and proxies, then with Thatcher and JPII, crushed the live out of them and assigned them to the ash heap of history, as promised.

Sarah Palin: an attractive, articulate Conservative woman who was an effective Governor and represents a dire threat to the new American Fascism.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The Soviet Union collapsed under its own unsustainable economic system. It had nothing to do with the U.S. going into debt.

Sure it did. Sure it did.

Reagan just happened to be there at the time and coincidentally promised to send them to the ash heap of history at the same exact time as Gobry realized he should disband.

Fucking Tool.

So what did our spending on our military do to the Soviet Union? Scare them into collapsing?

You don't know the first thing about Reagan but you know for a fact the USSR suddenly decided to put itself out of business?

OK, Google: Pershing II and Minuteman missiles.

Then try "Reagan Star Wars" which was only an idea at the time but has now been proved effective.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The history is not there for you to rewrite.

They failed because their system was a sham and a piece of shit type of government.

Communisn doesnt work.

Reagan did not prove that, communism did.

After 70 years? Just coincidentally when Reagan made their defeat one of the central themes of his Administration?

Explain why it took 70 years.

The Soviet Union didn't decide to collapse anymore than the U.S. decided to go into a recession.

And you have no shame whatsoever that you're still a clueless rube and still holding your opinions about Reagan and the USSR?

I'd like to think people would hate him for the whole, y'know, overly-paranoid break-into-Watergate thing.

Plus, some of the people on the right should hate him too. He wanted health care insurance for everyone almost 40 years before it was the cool "liberal" thing to do.

No, I have no shame in the knowledge that socialism ultimately collapses in on itself.

The Left HATED Nixon with a passion and a vengeance, Watergate was their payback for Hiss.

Obama has lied more and committed more crimes in any month than Nixon and Agnew combined.

Want to take a crack at explaining the 70 year lag brought the collapse to coincide with Reagan making their collapse his top foreign policy priority?

The same reason the socialist states of today, such as Greece, are just starting to see the negative side of their economic policies despite having them in place for decades. It doesn't happen over night, but eventually socialism will always collapse. But the way you argue you'd think socialism was a perfectly viable economic system and Reagan marched into Russia and conquered the Soviets singlehandedly.

Odd that the USSR was the only Socialist economy to collapse at that time then, no? I mean talk about timing!

Just as Reagan makes the collapse of the USSR his #1 Priority on his very short "To Do" list, they happen to be the one and only Leftist economy and nation that collapses.

Socialism has failed everywhere it's been tried, GM, Chrysler, Greece, California, NY, etc.

Yes, Reagan was the primary responsible party for the collapse of the Soviet, just deal with it. He didn't do it single-handedly, but he did state it as his Number 1 Foreign Policy Objective and made it happen

He challenged Soviet expansion in every sphere of influence and then stuck a bone down their throat by building a 600 ship Navy, modernizing an Army that would have left the Soviet Shock Armies in smoldering ruins had they charged through the Fulda Gap, pushed for a placement of medium range nukes right at their eyebrows in Europe and began development of a weapons system --Star Wars-- that would have countered a Soviet first strike.

So you admit that socialism always fails, but still give credit to Reagan for dismantling the Soviet Union just because he made that his "Number 1 Foreign Policy Objective."

If I make it my number one objective to have the sun rise this morning do I get credit for it when it does?

Next you are giong to claim St Ronnie singlehandedly sank Iran's navy.

Trick Lib Question of Reagan
March 28, 2008

CALLER: Ronald Reagan, why did he never respond to the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon in 1983?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By the way, to answer the guy's question, "Why didn't Reagan respond?" He did. It's one of the most underreported aspects in world history. Amir Taheri wrote about it on April 18th, 2007, in a publication called Gulf News. Basically, Reagan sunk Iran's navy, if I could just sum this up. We sunk Iran's navy. The attacks from Lebanon came from Iran, as they still do to this day. We sunk Iran's navy, but we didn't talk about it much then because that would have made us look mean, and the mullahs didn't talk about it because they didn't want the world to know their navy had been sunk, but it happened.

Operation Praying Mantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Praying Mantis was an April 18, 1988 attack by U.S. naval forces in retaliation for the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf and the subsequent damage to an American warship.

In short, Iran lost one major warship and a smaller gunboat.

Look, you're not too bright so I'm not going to waste much more time talking to you. My three previous posts have addressed your "points" and you are impervious to them so I'm going to save some electrons and not repeat myself any more.

Frank, you have taken Mr Wookie Suit to the cleaners on this exchange. Every point you have made is right, every point he has tried to make is wrong.
If not for Reagan the Soviet Union would probably still be limping along and Obama would be apologizing for all those spies we arrested, while arranging aid to prop them up because they are the devil we know. Sort of like his Iran policy.
Game, set, match Reagan and the good guys. Sorry, Kevin. Better luck next time.

Their payback? Nixon caused Watergate himself. Ironically, some of the right should hate Nixon too, as I pointed out, he wanted comprehensive health insurance forty years before it was "liberal." What a socialist, wanting to bankrupt this country.

So, what laws has Obama broken and what crimes has he committed?

 

[Oddball]

Many on the right did despise Nixon.

Wage & price controls, the EPA & OSHA, the national 55 mph speed limit, for starters.

Actually you haven't addressed anything. You've just stated that Reagan made it his priority to topple the Soviet Union, but since he didn't actually do anything to the Soviet Union, hence it being a cold war, it's pretty clear that the Soviet Union collapsed under its own failed economic model.
