Hasn't it been that way since Day 1?

Indians slaughtered, their land stolen. Blacks enslaved, tortured and dehumanized. Civil War. That's only the first 100 years.........

"I wonder when we did a 180"

I was wondering the same thing during the Reagan administration.

Look at the attraction to Ron Paul, it sure isnt his wonderful speaking skills.
When entering into a debate or argument, it also tends to help when you are right.

You mistake criticism for hatred.

If you wish to continue progressing and improving the country you live in, then dissent and criticism of those things you disagree with will get you much closer to betterment than blowing happy go lucky touchy feely rays of sunshine up someones backside.

Perhaps it is me who lacks the desire or emotional need to run around with a foam hand that has the finger pointed up, yelling at the top of my lungs... were #1, were #1, were #1 in order to express the love of my country.

THE RONALD REAGAN MYTH . . . The Progressive Review
Such B.S.! You obviously were not around during the Reagan years, nor the Carter years which were not even as bad as Obama. Reagan was a savior, of sorts. He brought us back to prosperity, and gave us a reason to believe in America again.

Now, we are repeating the Carter era. Only 100 times (at least) worse.

I think you need a history lesson. You have no idea who Reagan was or what he believed and why. You only know the propaganda that you learned in a corrupt government school system.

Bull! Reagan brought about a period of 96 straight months of economic expansion. Compare that to Obama's record, so far. Nothing but destruction of our economy.

Obama is Carter II, only hundreds of times worse.

We need to return to those very principled principles he was so clearly outlined.


Those that hate RR hate America and are likely communists.
You are soooo right on! I doubt that most on this Forum that disparage Reagan were even out of diapers when he was president (if they were even born yet). The have no clue what they are talking about. They spout what is being taught to them in the government schools. Public (government) schools have been telling lies about Reagan for many years.

Try this...
millionaire next door - Google Search

...click on The Millionaire Next Door NY Times Books link, right below the top two Amazon.com links and above the shopping results links. Accessing it that way works for me - if you still can't get to it, we'll try something else.

Every Republican president is the worst president we ever had.
Stupid evil geniuses bent on making that 180 into everything bad.
Just read from the script. Fill in the blanks.
