The Reagan Years
Only the liberals in Europe and this country see President Reagan as a villian. Ask those who today are free of the tryanny of the Soviet empire, and they will tell you President Reagan is their hero. President Reagan had the courage to say what no other foreign leader had the courage to say, that the Soviet Union was evil.

Again, Gorbachev fought to save the Soviet Empire and communism, but in the end he surrendered. Saying he contributed to the end of the Cold War is like saying that Hitler contributed to ending WWII, or the Japanese Emperor worked for the end of the war. Communism collapsed, it was GOrbachev who tore down the Berlin Wall but rather the people. Ask any former soviet dissident, and they will tell you what the media in this country have been afraid to admit, President Reagan was right, and he ended the Cold War.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles

I agree President Reagan was a truly great man. He did more good for this country than any other president in the 20th century.

Lost like all those thousands of mentally ill people roaming around the US today because they didn't receive any help from government mental health facilities after Reagan cut their funding and shut them down?

You know you are right, because there are no private mental health facilities in this country...

Who else has something stupid to say?

Ultra-Laziness I wonder why most foreigners are Republicans...because to achieve the American dream is so easy and they feel that they don't need help from the Goverment.

Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was once a Democrat.
