What would make you say something like that? It is totally not true. Were you even voting in the 80s and did you have any true contact with him? You may not have liked his politics, many didn't but to cal him a liar is above the worst and I will tell you this is a bigger lie than any her ever told.

Reagan lied when he said he didn't know anything about Iran-Contra....

Reagan didn't really do it. He just didn't get in its way.

As of 1984, The United States hadn't been conquered yet. Coast-to-coast, it was a nation of common sense and traditional values. And all you had to do was speak to those values with some charm and some wit. Reagan was a natural. He had the people in the palm of his hand.

Throughout his Presidency, the evil....and I mean evil....forces of the "progressive" fringe were amassing strength, readying for an all-out assault. By the end of his second term, it was underway. We began hearing a new phrase on a regular basis. "Politically Correct". It was the beginning of the end of America as we knew it.

For nearly 30 years from that point, the fringe marched forward at will, meeting only a whimper of resistance as they took control of government institutions nationwide, most notably public schools. Young hearts and minds followed - by the millions, then 10s of millions. Today, nearly half the population is lost to an alternate reality.

As of 1984, we still had widespread national sanity. Back then 49 states was a walk in the park for a guy with Reagan's natural warmth and wit.

Proof? I don't believe you can supply any. Ollie North shredded a bunch of his paperwork, but of what was left, wherever there were check boxes for presidential authorization, the check boxes had been left blank.

Are you being purposely ignorant here? Reagan dang well knew what was going on. He was mad at congress for the Boland Ammendment, and decided to act outside the law, and when caught, North took the bullet to save Reagan an impeachment and trial

This isn't Piochet's Chile. We are legally allowed to disagree with or hate our president. And it doesn't mean we don't love our country. I love this country (well, except for the South); but I don't like our president.
Left wing loons do not love America. They want to fundamentally change everything about America. They hate capitalism, hate Christianity, hate traditional values and hate America’s founders because they were white.

Leftist are enemies of America, enemies of freedom and even enemies of decency itself. There is no way a left winger can be patriotic or love America. What they believe in is the antithesis of America.

6 sentences and not a single one of them is even 30 yards from being true

Only in your opinion they are not true.

Socialism is the economic system of our enemies. Atheism and radical secularism is evil. Any one who believes in these things is a leftist. Leftists are enemies of America.......period. Just because the enemy has made dangerous inroads into our society does not make his views less evil or less dangerous. Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union an evil empire. The internal leftist enemy of the US is evil and must be stopped.

And how is that? At least when Reagan was president the leftists knew what restroom to use. The things I am seeing today is beyond absurd, snowflake participation trophy generation, people losing their minds over where Mrs. Pence teaches art, anti Columbus Day crybabies, putting illegals ahead of homeless vets. $15/ hour pay for fast food workers with no high school diplomas, statue removals, safe spaces, where will it end?

I'm an atheist so I guess I'm evil to you. Good to know.
And know one wants the government the Soviet Union had. We honestly want to emulate countries like Sweden, Canada and Finland, which all still have capitalism. Give it a rest already.....
