The Sad Legacy of Ronald Reagan

[Mr. Shaman]

The Sad Lunacy of the American Left, they hate Reagan for defeating Soviet Communism

so we outspent them on armaments whilst simultaneously slashing services to the poor & elderly. BFD.

Really?

I guess you'd have to have been old-enough to have been there, Skippy.

Major Ronnie To Ground-Control

I remember a long time ago when I first came on this board there was a woman who posted who had lived in the Soviet Union. She was an academic. She gave a very in-depth analysis of the Soviet Union (I mean, really, really, REALLY in-depth - huge long posts) from about 1940 until it collapsed. It amused her to think that people thought Raygun was responsible for bringing down the Soviet Union.

As its most basic (and believe me this is super basic compared to her posts), it went something like this:
1) The Soviet Union started failing in the 1930s.
2) They predicted in the 1940s that either by the late 1970s or mid 1980s the system would implode because it was unsustainable
3) It had nothing to do with Ronnie Raygun -it's all about timing..

I have no doubt that Ronald Reagan is burning in hell right now.

HHmmmm...who to believe.......an academic who lived there, or a partisan hack....hhmmmmmm. It's a hard choice, but I'll go with the academic...

He probably did more damage to America than any single individual except for George W. Bush.

The mythology that tax cuts for the rich would lead to anything but massive debt.

The mythology that taking care of old sick people(Medicare) would lead to the "communist takeover of America."

The mythology that government is evil and the free market will take care of all needs.

The Sad Lunacy of the American Left, they hate Reagan for defeating Soviet Communism

so we outspent them (deficit spending) on armaments whilst simultaneously slashing services to the poor & elderly. BFD.

He certainly has a better legacy than Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR and all the other progressive dirt bags.

Yeah.....the Granddaddy o' crack-cocaine....whatta legacy.​

Nice try, Skippy.

However, some scientists and military analysts

The same ones who ridiculed it, now have to downplay the fact that it works.
