    Ronald Reagan the Betrayor of Main Street
Heaven is now Reagan Country!

You have to read this about Ronald Reagan the Destroyer of Main Street! I have been saying it for years and am finally happy to see someone of repute who is not calling him an American hero. He is the Father of this nightmare we are living and it is just beginning. You better be very concerned they want to return to the ways of Ronald Reagan.

They call themselves the party of Ronald Reagan! That scares the hell out of me because Reagan was the Father of the war mongering high Deficit compassionate Conservatives that gave Birth to much war present and future unless Obama can turn around the disaster they created around the world with their war mongering!

If only because I feel compelled to keep reminding the country of it Reagan also was the leader of the over spending "small Government" "fiscally Conservative" trio Reagan, Daddy Bush, and Bushie, who rang up 74% of our Nations debt choking our children's future while once again they want to blame Democrats for and Obama for worsening as he must in order to try and rescue us from the mess they have created and passionately want to continue!

Allow me a little Debt and Republican "success" history!

It was President Reagan's "success" in keeping us "safe" that made it necessary for us to start the "Debt Clock" as due to Reagan's success our debt was climbing so fast a clock keeping track of its rapidly changing total was a necessity! Due to Bush's "success" last year the Debt clock had to be refitted as it could only handle a $9 trillion figure. it was refitted to handle $10 trillion plus. It is now moving so rapidly it makes your head spin. This article is awesome. Actually it is a book and it backs up 100% everything I keep repeating over the years.

The book is a scathing, and well deserved, indictment of that "empty suit" Ronald Reagan, and his ultra-grasping political creed, "Reaganism," which directly led to the "Financial Meltdown of 2008. Reagan was nightmare leader and The President who destroyed main Street America

I frequently listen to Reagan's Republican son Michael Reagan and can't stand him! He is arrogant and I can not stand listening to his cynicism about President Obama and his and the Democrats wanting to destroy everything Ronald Reagan stood for. If that is true we can thank god and look forward to surviving as a viable successful America well into the future! I was very pleased as I once again was awake last night and I turned the TV on to CNN and was listening to D. L. Hughley interview Ronald Reagan Jr. Awesome! A Reagan I agree with!

There is no way on earth to eliminate or make up for the nightmare Ronald started! That said self admittedly Ronald Reagan Jr. said he is the lone voice, the lone Democrat, the voice in the wilderness that is today's America thanks to Reagan and his followers of Reaganism to finish off our version of America, the Bush's! Junior at least speaks with some sense and maybe he can start a groundswell but I know not in the Reagan family.

As you can tell, I am no fan of Reagan's so I shied away from the name whenever I heard it mentioned. I had been out of the service a while when I went back in the Army reserves to help supplement my income because I was married with 3 kids working full time 3rd shift while going to school full time. It was the beginning of Reagan's presidency and his war mongering concerned the hell out of me so I got out after one hitch!

It was an absolute pleasure to hear the discussion with his son defending not Reagan and his nightmare policies but stem cell research! Wow! Reagan reiterated that with stem cell research you can turn stem cells into into pancreatic stem cells to make a new pancreas or anything else you need. Reagan mentioned something I found very intriguing and that was that with increased funding with Federal money it may be possible to some day have your very own personal repair kit. Just think about the implications! How the hell can anyone in their right mind be against that?

    Another Reagan contribution, this one to education. He eliminated the BEOG grant, the Basic Education Opportunity Grant that helped many middle and lower class kids get to and through college. Don't forget that one. I have finally found a person who sees through the unjustly glorified Reagan years. I think I found a home. :-)

    Yee ha, We certainly agree! Reagan was the Father of the lie we are living today. He scared the hell out of me. He is the one as you point out that started to destroy the middle class. Reaganism is anathema to destruction-ism, Bushism!

    The Neo-cons demagoguery of Reagan is beyond me! They raked Clinton over the coals for a personal indescretion (INHO) best left for him
    and the wife YET they let Cowboy Ronnie ride roughshod over the
    House & the Constitution...sell missiles to Mullahs in Iran..deal
    Coke to fund dirty Contra private wars with his buddy Ollie and still
    they make like he was the best thing since sliced bread.

    You poke Old Shit with a stick...and it still stinks!

    Funny but you are right! Reagan destroyed the middle class and was the war monger who started all this. As far as the right is concerned he could do no wrong and like Bush the scum he was a god. He scared the hell out of me and like Bush I do not think he did anything right!

    Ronald Reagan started us down the road to the mess we are in when he said the government wasn't the answer to our problems, it WAS the problem. That began the de-emphasis of government regulation which, along with his idea of starving the government by cutting taxes, put us in a position where financial predators could pick our bones clean.

    I am so with you on Reagan-loathing. I could hardly stomach the hoopla made over him at the time of his death. Let's not forget the Iran-Contra scandal.

    I'm no fan of Reagan's either. He gave us the "greed is good" mentality glorified in the 1980s film "Wall Street." He was good at selling his image (then again, he was an actor), but if Carter had been able to pull off a rescue of the hostages, the country and the world would be much better off today. At least this armchair pundit thinks so. A book to check out for those interested in the 1980 campaign is "October Surprise" by former National Security Council member Gary Sick, who served in that capacity Presidents Ford, Carter and Reagan. Here's the wiki entry on the October Surprise theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_surprise_conspiracy

    All the barbs that we've been hurling would still not affect Reagan, dead or alive, as he was the ultimate 'Teflon' President. Maybe he should have stuck with Hollywood.

    You bet! I am just getting started and my wife came in and saw my title and said I liked that man I don't think that is true. You bet it is! He is the father of this nightmare that is why they call it Reaganism and want to get back to it!

    Great! He was the father of Bush's idiocy. His justification for ignoring Congress and doing what he wanted. I did not like him! Remember Ollie North? Coke to the Contras? Missiles to the Mullah's? American hero my ass!

    Little El Salvador sent R. Reagan a posthumous defeat Sunday. My nasty side wants to shout-out Nelson's (from The Simpson's) trademark: "HAha!"

    Thanks! My wife just came in and said she liked him but that he was a bad actor. Yes! I wish instead of people bragging about him going from actor to President they realized it gave him the talent to lie believably and do one thing while saying another which another bad actor followed up on. Bush!
