She warbles a macho fantasy about our 40th president. But the real Reagan wanted a world free of nuclear arms
Listening to Sarah Palin, it is often difficult to determine whether her remarks demonstrate ignorance or dishonesty. She frequently waxes on about Ronald Reagan, for instance, revered ancestor of today's far right, whose real record bears little resemblance to the fantasies of extremists like her.
While attacking President Obama's nuclear weapons policies the other day -- and the strategic arms reduction treaty that he signed with Russia -- Palin said, "We miss Ronald Reagan, who used to say, when he would look at our enemies, he would say: 'No. You lose. We win.' That's what we miss. And that is what we have to get back to."

If you find her so objectionable why do you listen to her?
One who ignores their enemies do so at their peril. I listen to the The Big Fat idiot to gather my arguments against know-nothings like Palin and Limbaugh so I can set the rednecks straight when the opportunity arises. Since its all talking points and only right wingers need to be reminded regularly what to think, its not much of a challenge. In any event, friends close, enemies closer and all that. Dig it. The RIGHT is in decline. They just have more gasbags per/1000.
Point is, if Sarah is going to bring up Ronald Reagan, at least get the facts straight. But, then, she only has a passing acquaintance with those, and changes them regularly when paid enough.

That's interesting. Which political office does Limbaugh hold? How about Palin? Who told you that the right is in decline? Was it Rachel Maddow?
They are the current Opinion Leaders of the Republican Party. That is evidence of enough for me of decline. Sure Maddow is the antidote to King and Queen Redneck but at least I'm laughing. She's my neighbor here in Happy Valley in Western Massatucky, heart and homeland of vegetarian birkenstocked liberal lawyers and solar architects by the hundreds living in co-housing collectives.
Well, you know what they say about a person who answers a question with a question. I did read it before I posted in this thread.
Here's a question for you:
In what way would you say that today's world differs from the world during the Reagan era?
