I don't think ANY President has played the blame game as much as Obama.

Too bad he signed anti gun bills View Quote This again? Do some research. He never drafted, not did he support ANYTHING anti-gun. The one thing he let through was shit the bastard Democrats slipped in during a midnight session to kill a bill that did more for us then it cost us. Vetoing it might well have killed the good it did permanently. I'm no supporter of the bill, but I damn sure don't blame Reagan for it. Blame the goddamn Democrats. The guys who were out to fuck you then and are out to fuck you now. THEY forced Reagan into a position where he had to choose between two shitty decisions. THEY are the treacherous bastards who wanted to make damn sure WE were going to "pay", one way or the other. |

Well,he did cut the size and spending of the federal government,so that's a plus.................

reagan ran up HUGE debt, but he said "freedom!" and shit like that a lot for the lug humpers to lap up.
but of course he defeated the soviet union. by defense-spending them into oblivion. as the myth goes. they actually spent less of GDP on defense while ronnie was around. he's the ultimate example of an empty vessel figurehead. palin learned a lot from him. |

Quoted: Greatest President of our generation and this thread is filled with folks trying to take him down. View Quote FOPA isn't worth the paper it's written on. Try driving through NYC or Jersey with a legally owned and stored firearm and get pulled over by the cops and get back to me, after you get out of jail. It Cheap mail order ammo wasn't worth the price of the machine gun ban. And I was 20 something when it was passed. It was bad law then and it never got fixed and it's not enforced correctly by the feds. I did like Reagan and voted for him twice and served in the military during his terms. We had to fix all the wrongs Carter did to the military back then.

FK Ronnie.
FOPA does no good in the places it is needed and not needed in the places where it would be adhered to. As for the other gun stuff, he saw fit to do away with the very guns the 2nd talks about. He knew about it and signed away anyway all because he wanted to play nice with the D's so they would support his spending plans. Which ended up as a huge spending spree. He had no problem sticking his fingers in other countries business. But seeing as he was a R most herein will defend him with their last breath. Adherence to fundamental beliefs be damned. |

The people whining about Reagan obviously would have been happier with Carter and Mondale.

Revenues exploded under Reagan because of the fantastic economy he brought forth. As such, as dumb effing politicians always do, they went ahead and spent it and more, and by this I don't mean Reagan. He didn't control the purse strings, other than veto power, which only is available for expenditures in some cases.
More importantly, why in the flying hell are we debating / griping about Reagan who was a million to the second power better than this marxist son of a bitch we have in office now? Remembering the past is an essential thing, debating (and fighting) the present with the past in mind is much more important.

All those that grovel at the feet of R's are the reason we have RINO's. They know they can do nothing wrong.
Politics is mostly like sports, the team can do no wrong in the eyes of their fans. I find it hypocritical the those on the right make the same complaint about those on the left yet they don't see it in themselves. Boulder in eye, remove it. |

Guess I am a tard then and trying to bring the great man down. Did not know about the defense spending of russia being less with ron in charge, figures. How do you spend another country into the ground anyways? They have no choice but to match you?
I thought russia fell same as china in that they were ineffective economies and systems. When I see the massive amount of edited-joker581 here in socal I am reminded of his greatness and how he made them feel more comfortable here. His amnesty is directly responsible for a shit ton of these illegals, fact. If he was sure his laws would not be turned around like they were, and millions more would not arrive, well then the senility had already hit. |

Reagan *imcreased* gun rights... No matter how much the liberals try to spin it.
Perfect? Not in a million years. Just what this country, and the conservative movement needed. Reagan threads bring it the closet democrats and the retards. Reagan was not perfect. The perfect conservative candidate myth only helps democrats get elected. Reagan had his flaws, just Ike any great *real* conservative. But he was just what this country and the conservative movement needed. He made it cool to be a conservative. |

My biggest complaint is he picked a loser VP.....we are still paying for that choice.

Quoted: You can sure tell which persons in this thread aren't old enough to remember the 1970s. View Quote I remember them just fine, and old "Jimmy the peanut farmer Carter." Shit, I was alive during JFK's presidency. Reagan was a great man, and a great president. I had a lot of respect for him. I'm disappointed in the FOPA fiasco. I don't blame Reagan as much as I blame that fuckstick Jack Hughes and the traitor Charlie Rangel. He needs to be in prison. The NRA greenlighted FOPA for Reagan to sign with plans to strip out the machine gun ban later. It never happened and the GOP never made an issue of it. FOPA is still a shit law and not worth the paper it's written on. I only hope that Jack Hughes died writhing in pain and tasted his own fucking blood before hitting the gates of hell. And I wished I'd have had a hand in helping him leave this earth, but I didn't. I believe cancer did. I wish he had've driven into a gasoline tanker and died while burning up. Yes, I speak ill of the dead. He was evil.

View Quote Combat-veteran Bush had some solid conservative support and indeed beat Reagan early-on in the 80 run-up. Reagan had his pro-union and pro-amnesty baggage, and, believe it or not, combat-veteran Bush had some solid conservative support against Reagan. Back then, to keep the party together, they joined forces early. Which was the correct thing to do in 1980, because Carter was getting tossed around by Kennedy in the Democrat Primary. Combat-veteran Bush and Reagan tours the country *together* while Kennedy and Carter tried killing each others political careers. Combat-veteran Bush a "loser?" Naw. He fought to keep Clinton out of the White House while Perot split the ticket to get Clinton into the White House. We are paying for the split ticket and the Cinton regime still to this day... I would have rather had Combat-veteran Bush than Clinton any day of the week... And the alternative to Bush was Dukakis in 88 and Clinton in 1992. I consider combat-veteran Bush the better alternative to both choices... Would you have rather had Dukakis and Clinton? Those wee the alternatives... Reagan choosing combat-veteran Bush and uniting the conservative movement and the Republican Party early in 1980 was nothing short of pure brilliance. Pure political brilliance. |

Don't forget that he also ushered in a huge amnesty bill and sold out American manufacturing to Japan so that they would buy our debt. Other than that, I was a huge fan of the rhetoric.
