“God is not the solution, He’s the problem”

I'm not sure what you mean.

I never ever heard Reagan make or infer such a statement!

What a coward you are.

Make a trolling statement like that, and never back it up.

We've had two great Presidents in our lifetime. The first was Reagan, the second was Trump.

Of the two, Trump had a much harder job. He had to deal with the leftist commitment to lie, cheat and steal, to do ANYTHING to get rid of him.

I loved Reagan and what he did. I love Trump and what he did. They both brought pride back to America.

Please go pound sand for being such a trolling coward.

The NeoCons are inspired by Reagan to force “Democracy” around the world, regardless if it is compatible with the folk ways of the populations being forced.

“You aren’t fit to carry Reagan’s bags.”


Maybe so.

But I am capable of seeing that supporting “Reagan Re-enactors” as candidates is one of the Right’s biggest problems.

Nice recap of the particulars. Made me think how Trump, a television personality, became president. His timing was right culturally, as was his knack for driving a few well known dynasties out of politics—and as a traditional, patriotic American, I am glad for it.

Of course, the rub always comes in finding the right candidate who most understands the American electorate, not intellectually but because he/she shares and supports their values. Like Trump did.

Bull. It freed Hudreds of millions of people. Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.

Quote: “I don’t buy it!”

BUY IT!! The democrats of today are not the one’s Reagan faced. They are out and out totalitarians. They will use law fare and other means to indict and convict any of their enemies.

The media of today is not the media Reagan faced. As bad as the media Reagan faced was, this media is out and out lying. Out and out propagandizing. Out and out outdong PRAVADA.

Reagan would not have been the problem. Reagan was great and I am not saying he wasn’t. I am saying that in today’s world, anyone not a democrat is criminal in their minds and will be jailed.

We are at the point of indicting political opponents.

Trump was robbed on election night and in the wee hours on the next day with vote dumps..

And the author mentioned that because of Carter, we got Reagan.

Well, because of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama, we got Trump.

Who then was robbed , so the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama would start up again with Biden..

The drooling idiot was installed..
Not elected..

Not enough R team scum think it was stolen.

That R team co owned the swamp during the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era..
That era has been after Trump since he announced in 2015..

We can have differing opinions. I for one wouldn’t see Reagan allowing a man like Trump walk in his shadow.

Doesn’t really matter what I think, what you think, or what anyone else on FR thinks. Biden is in the White House and Trump isn’t. That’s the bottom line. Winners win, losers whine about “stolen” elections.

Reverend Wright? Are you damning the America of Reagan?

I guess so.

But for different reasons.

It took me a long time to internalize and admit how much the terms in office of Reagan (and Thatcher) were a disaster to the Right.

You mean when Trump won bigger than Reagan ever hoped to, and then they stole the election?

No I am looking at reality not treating Trump like a cult member. He had his chance in 2016 to be a real hero and that was taking on the Insurance Cartels and Healthcare Cartels like he talked about.

All he had to do was to go after all of them with Sherman Aniti-Trust, Wright-Patman and RICO using the DOJ and lower medical costs by at least 80%. Then we would have been able to save Medicare, SS, and the Debt problems once and for all.

But you see he didn’t and that was his real failure as President, among other things.

OK, sure. Reagan won 44 states in 80, 49 in 84. Trump drew an inside straight on election night in 2016 and we are all thankful for that. But he only won 30 states that year and lost the popular vote. Then proceeded in 2020 to lose 5 states that he won in 2016 and lose the popular vote by almost 5%.

I was glad Trump won and thankful for three Supreme Court justices but to claim he was a better candidate or President than Ronald Reagan is just being willfully stupid.

Clearly, you don’t see what really happened in 2020.
