My life doesn't end without gas stations. Americans does. Which makes me laugh when Americans speak of War with Russia. 2 days without gas stations or fast food and the US would crumble.

You speak as if you want the US to crumble. Our nation and everything is built on oil.........so has the world. That is how we have moved forward......how we won WWII.......all that kind of stuff. Now your hero screams forward and wants to go backwards.............and you liberals can't figure out how that makes no sense.

That much is true. Carter finally took off the blinders when the US Embassy in Tehran was overrun. Two other things he got right was deregulating the airlines and railroads.

That's why Obama gets the moniker worst president since he has yet to get anything right.

Yes destroy everything you don't want........typical. Why not just live your life and let everybody else live theirs? Too much to ask? I guess so.

Reagan gave us the Young Upwardly Mobile Professionals and the Yuppie was born.

Now we have the Young Down in Moms Basement (YoDiMoB's?) who can't find a job, strapped with $100k in student loans with no bankruptcy protections to pay for that useless Liberal Arts degree the college matriculation said would be awesome!

I lived through Carter, and this is worse... FAR WORSE!

I'm sensing a pattern here. Misguided hate and ideological tunnel vision also result in ignorance, and intolerance. Fk socialists, communists, fascists, and totalitarians.

So did I.

The one defining moment I had about Reagan taking office was how quickly Iran gave up the hostages.

That and the look on Rosalynn Carter's face when she had to move out of the WH. If looks could kill, Reagan was dead 20 times over from her.
