I didn't realize just how much he is missed, until I read and remembered some of the stuff he said.. and stood for.

IF YOU AGREE, reply your 2cents.. ..
IF NOT, JUST READ IT AGAIN........

sorry wrong thread, backs quietly out of the room and then runs like hell.

lol

WAIT FOR MEEEE!!!!!!

WAIT..lets leave in a group..strength in numbers..

Im rt. behind ya.

Ronald Regan cut funds to mental institutions. They even talked about it in my college textbooks. They released sooo many mentally ill patients and put them out on the street.

I like it! Of course, I usually am in the minority.

and i'm bringing up the rear

When he took office we had;


inflation 13.4 %
interest rates 21.5 %
unemployment 9.45%

when he was through.

inflation 4.08%
interest rates 10.5%
unemployment 4.5%

Yeah i remember Ronald Regan in them crappy cowboy films

i remember when him and crazy nancy were over here visiting that ol b!tch mrs saxe coburgh-gothe. they were on the yacht and a waiter came over and ronnie said "is that decafe" old liz raised an eyebrow,5 mins later waiter offers coffee and ronnie says "is that mine?" nancy said "no ronnie thats queens", lol. what wi them being on 1st name terms an all. they played it over and over on new bulletins

yes let's look past all the lies and genocide he caused to applaud something he didn't have anything to do single handingly

The first time I voted was Ronnie for Presidente~ many years ago, haven't backed a winner since.

I remember the cheers that rocked this nation when it was announced that Reagan had beat Carter

RIP Ronnie

The fact is, from Grenada to the Washington and Moscow summits, from the recession of '81 to '82, to the expansion that began in late '82 and continues to this day, we've made a difference. The way I see it, there were two great triumphs, two things that I'm proudest of. One is the economic recovery, in which the people of America created — and filled — 19 million new jobs. The other is the recovery of our morale. America is respected again in the world and looked to for leadership.

From Reagan's farewell address.

...the greatest President in my lifetime...

is that all you've got ?...college textbooks ?...did you think they'd champion a Republican President in college ?...I think not !!...you seem to walk around with some Liberal handbook...quoting pages and chapters...were you asleep during the 70's and 80's...sheesh !!...lol...

Wow, I must of hit a sensitive spot there. You got so defensive. Is that all you've got?

I told a fact about the cuts. I said that they EVEN talked about it in my college textbooks. It is rare to see a president mentioned in college textbooks outside of history classes.

I was doing a psych clinical and he was mentioned in that textbook. It pertained to the topic. He did a serious injury to the mental institutions. That was a sad day when that happened.

Nope, I wasn't asleep during the 70's. I was in grade school and high school. Btw, when I was in grade school, I was taught to not put people down or be rude to them. I'm seeing that not all people were taught that when they were children.

it was true

I biitched about it at the time

there were homeless nut jobs wandering around all over the place talking to themselves and waving their arms around

but the one thing he did do was to defeat the Soviet Union and drive em into collapse
