Ronald Reagan was the president during the crack epidemic in the 1980s. However, it was Reagan himself that personally allowed cocaine to come in from Nicaragua to flood inner city streets. In result making millions of citizens into addicts who then had babies while being on the drugs. Years later, how many babies died or were born addicted to crack in relation to Ronald Reagans fund raising efforts?

I assume that your name is an indication that you want the younger Ron Reagan -- the presidential son who once danced around on Saturday Night Live -- to run 4 Prez.
In the meantime, I would like to see some proof that Reagan "personally allowed cocaine to come in from Nicaragua."

If anything, Reagan launched the "War on Drugs" and made life a lot harder for addicts, dealers, and everybody involved in the drug trade. Still, it's hardly the President's job to singlehandedly stop the flow of drugs into a community - it's up to local law enforcement officials, who are appointed and elected by their community.
No one forced anyone to smoke crack. Persons who did need to take some responsibility, for a change, for the outcomes of their irresponsibilty. Crack users and crack dealers are soley responsible for the death, disease, and destruction to their community and to their children caused by their own actions and their own actions alone.
Blaming Reagan for crack babies is as ridiculous as saying government scientists designed AIDS or that 9/11 was some sort of inside job.
Wacky and stupid. Why not blame space aliens, or the Christian Right, or the Freemasons, for all your problems? That would be easier than taking responsiblity for your life, right?

Why not blame Obama and Bush while we're at it.
Reagan didn't create crack. End of story.

So basically, you're absolving all the crack addicts of any responsibility for getting addicted to the substance, and the dealers for selling it too?

yeah, and Reagan is responsible for the Civil War and why my neighbor's dog keeps crapping on my lawn.
Personal responsibility is a core conservative idea (though they don't always exhibit it)

How many? NONE. Why? Lies lies lies. Urban legend propaganda created by Al Sharpton and J.Jackson should never be taken for anything but the hate that it is.
