Raygun supported acid-throwing fascists. Bush's Daddy and Raygun gave money and weapons to Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein when it suited them. Bush II, the total moron, went into war in Iraq with faulty information. Now we've killed all sorts of innocent people. A lot of you claim to be "pro-life" and love this war???? What kind of people are you anyway? How can you sleep at night?

Also, did you see that Pro-life Antonin Scalia's daughter was caught drunk driving with three kids in her car this week? Guess he didn't bring his own daughter up to be too "pro-life". Well, at least not for CHILDREN anyway, maybe it's just for blastocysts.

OK, I figure from your question you're only about 15 or so, which partly excuses your shocking ignorance.
You should be on your hands and knees in abject gratitude that our finest President, Ronald Reagan, did what no one else could even conceive of: he won the Cold War. As former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said at Reagan's eulogy, "He won the Cold War without firing a shot". Pretty darn smart, eh? He made it possible for dumb punks today to spout Liberal nonsense when they don't have the slightest idea what they're talking about.
Because of Reagan, we have avoided what many people thought would be a final nuclear showdown between two superpowers.
Back in the 1980's we had to make tough choices. The most immediate need was to destroy the ability of the Soviet Union to continue growing as an empire. It was gobbling up countries everywhere, from Africa to Central and South America. Hence, we had to support whoever was the enemy of Communism.
How ironic that you call our current President a "moron". He went to Harvard. How about you, missy? Community college in your future?
Saddam Hussein is responsible for the deaths of about 1 million people. He started the Iran/Iraq war, invaded Kuwait, and killed hundreds of thousands of his own people.
How have WE killed all sorts of innocent people? After we toppled Saddam, no Iraqi was compelled to fight. We immediately gave the Iraqis the resources to begin drafting their own constitution and writing their own laws. They held fair elections in which many people voted even under threat of death from the terrorists.
The terrorists are killing innocent people. We are simply trying to get the newly-elected democratic government of Iraq strong enough to stand on its own.
So how can we sleep at night? Easy!
How can you sleep at night? In your Liberal La La Land world, women in Afghanistan would still be wearing burkas and be forbidden from attending school. People in Iraq would still be at the mercy of the Butcher of Baghdad.
Now then, maybe you can start posing more intelligent questions.

Wrong! Once again you spread this left-wing lie that our support for the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan was support for Al-Qaida, simply because Osama joined the one and created the other. It isn't, and never was! The pro-life movement is about giving the innocent unborn and the ailing the right to live, even if the Born-again Christians behind the movement don't always have the best attitude towards kids' rights once the babies are born. Killing those who seek our destruction is NOT a contradiction, as you imply. Juan Cole is full of sh*t!

I read the Juan Cole musings on the Middle East. He is a history professor at Univ. of Mich. Professors know a lot about teaching but when it comes to the real world they are lost. Why else do you think they teach? Anyway, I see that you are a young person and as such are impressionable. As you grow and mature you will change your radical views and be appreciative of living in a free country. Bless you child.

What does your statement have to do with throwing acid in women's faces? Unless your referring to WMD's, which you screwball libs said Saddam did not have. Also by your statement you support the killing of babies. What kind of person are you? I don't love war but I am smart enough to know that it is sometimes necessary. I can see who the moron is.

Your question is ridiculous on its face. Only someone with severe mental retardation could ask it.
I am a Raegan Conservative and I do not want to throw acid in anybody's face. I am so sorry that you do not possess enough intelligence to know right from wrong, good from evil and are incapable of dissecting the idiocy of the liberals from the truth. I can only shake my head ruefully...

Hirsi Ali (who co wrote "Submission" with the late Theo Van Gogh) is now working in DC for the American Enterprise Institute (a conservative think tank). Liberals let her down.

REAGAN BEGAN his political career in the 1940s as a Hollywood union leader and liberal. But he secretly fingered his colleagues to the FBI and collaborated with studio bosses to rid the movie industry of Communists in the 1950s. That got him a job as corporate mouthpiece for General Electric.
As the Republican right whipped up a backlash against the struggles of the 1960s, Reagan won two terms as California governor. At the end of the 1970s, Reagan presented his hard-line conservatism as the savior of the Republicans after the Watergate scandal and the collapse of the Nixon presidency.
Reagan was a widely seen as dimwit--even by his supporters. "Poor dear," remarked British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, his closest international ally, "there's nothing between his ears." But Reagan’s corporate backers realized that his grandfatherly image was indispensable in packaging their agenda--and in using vile scapegoating to make racism respectable again.
That’s why Reagan launched his 1980 presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Miss., a town with a notorious Ku Klux Klan history. He denounced "welfare queens"--a code word for Blacks--for living off "government handouts." As the AIDS epidemic began to claim tens of thousands of lives, Reagan refused to even use the name of the disease for six years. In fact, according to his authorized biography, he once said, "Maybe the Lord brought down this plague" because "illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments."
To the employers, Reagan was the ideal candidate to accelerate the turn to the right begun under Democratic President Jimmy Carter. Reagan fired 11,000 striking air traffic controllers in 1981, signaling an open war on organized labor that continues to this day. His budget cuts forced 1 million people off food stamps and denied Social Security disability benefits to 500,000.
Reagan cut the tax rate for the richest Americans from 70 percent to 28 percent with the promise that the benefits would "trickle down." Yet economic growth in the 1980s was slower than in the 1970s, despite the stimulus of military spending, which created massive federal budget deficits and tripled the federal debt.
Moreover, Reagan’s policies accelerated a wave of factory closures that drove up unemployment rates to their highest levels since the 1930s. In a 1982 visit to Pittsburgh, Reagan was met by thousands of furious steelworkers chanting, "**** Ronald Reagan!"
To roll back the social movements of the 1960s and ’70s, Reagan stuffed the federal courts with hard-line conservatives. He named right-wing fanatic Antonin Scalia to the U.S. Supreme Court and made William Rehnquist the Chief Justice.

True Patriot, you are a cynical demagogue.
You'll fit in quite nicely here with lots of other people just like you.
I take it for granted that you are NOT a liberal. Because a liberal would know better than to stereotype as viciously as this.

Regan and Clinton are the ONLY two presidents that ever gave money OR weapons to @ssholebinladen. You are apparently nothing but a child, or a brainwashed Liberal.
I'll tell you this ONCE, get your facts straight, or shut up
