A lie.......Reagan and congress spent 7 BILLION on Aids research.......some may say he took too long to start Federal funding but the assertion above is a lie.

Colleges and universities were evicting their best and brightest, straight A students, stripping them of scholarships. Some transferred to less-expensive community colleges; others dropped into the low-wage workforce. Now, nearly a quarter century later, they are still less financially secure and less educated than they should have been. Our nation is poorer for having denied them their potential.

Proof of that statement is required.

Again a lie. I flew many times after he canned the controllers for violating the law and it was never a living hell.........Reagan DE REGULATED the airlines! This guy really needs some help.

Anyway, the Cold War isn't over. In which direction do you think those old ICBMs point today?

Hmmm has this person ever heard of the Berlin Wall or of the dimise of East Germany?? If his definition of the cold war is only the direction of the ICBM point, then he is indeed mis informed.

Um Century old?????????????? The new Deal was started in 1933 by Roosevelt.........according to Rall the "contract" started in 1894...........whoops another whopper!

Reagan, like Bush 43, technically served in the military yet studiously avoided combat. Both men were physically robust, intellectually inadequate, poorly traveled former governors renowned for stabbing friends on the back--Reagan when he named names during McCarthyism. Both appointed former generals as secretaries of state and enemies of the environment to head the Department of the Interior. Both refused to read detailed briefings, worked short hours, behaved erratically in public appearances, ducked questions about sordid pasts, and relied on Christianist (the radical right equivalent of Islamist) depictions of foes as "evil" and America, invariably as embodied by himself and the Republicans, as "good." Based on intelligence as phony as that floated to justify the war against Iraq, Reagan bombed Muslim Libya.

Again pure slander....especially about the old line about both of them being stupid. The old leftise elitist BS about those who are not liberal as being stupid. "Enemies of the enviroment" huh????? LOL again those that dont agree with radical enviromentalists are "enemies of the enviroment" The USSR was indeed evil.....any government that represses it citizens like the USSR is indeed evil. (come on somebody deny it). Yes Reagan bombed Libya.....guess what happened??????? They did not make a peep for 20 years untill the admitted they indeed had WMD and vowed to give them up.....OH another co inky dink that the did it after we invaded IRAQ. HMMMMM maybye the show of force is indeed correct sometimes.
Now I have quoted the article and shown my objections to it.
