It is strange to see a conservative try to reduce the role Ronald Reagan played in bringing down the USSR.

Simply not true. You're making things up.

I place his importance in the events of those days exactly where he would if he were here participating in this thread.

Actually, I smelt the odor of anti-Muslim bigotry within the first couple lines of the story.

It's obvious which side you're coming down on.

Neither. Just trying to educate those whose only experience of Islam is through CNN or anti-Muslim sites such as this. Personally, I find Christianity more appealing in general, although not necessarily in the way often practiced.

Otherwise, it could be many of us place his importance higher than he would. I have liberal friends who hate Reagan who have to admit what he did in that regard. One especially who is very well versed in history (especially military history) and politics who loves Hillary Clinton even admits it.

You mean you think love and joy and peace might be better than burkas and imams and homicide bombers? Hey, maybe you're smarter than I thought!

No conservative would have to restrain themselves from making alzheimer's jokes about Ronald Reagan.

Why are you here?

The Lost & Found is where you may be able to re-acquire your sense of humor.

Thank you. But I didn't say it was all peachy on the Christian side either, at least not as often practiced these days. Islam also has a lot of good stuff, it's just much further away from how it is generally practiced these days. Buddhism's looking pretty good across the board though.

No problems with my sense of humor. Some things just aren't funny, though.

I'll pray for you. You're lost.

As soon as you find something that you can't laugh at, then you're lost. I'll pray for you.

I learned this in part from a Rabbi who loves Jewish jokes.
