He claims that in about twenty years when certain material is declassified, it will become apparent that Reagan not only played on the weaknesses of the USSR to bring it down, but set out deliberately to destroy it. Reagan's greatest strength was his moral clarity, particularly as it applied to the constant struggle between individual Freedom and tyranny of the state over the individual.
There was no larger contrast than that between the "evil empire" and the ideals stated in our Declaration of Independence (which Reagan cited frequently).
The struggle between those two opposing forces (Freedom and tyranny) is never really over, and continues to this day.
Reagan did his duty to advance the cause of Freedom. All of us should follow his example and do our part.

Also, check this out:
Reagan Approved Plan to Sabotage Soviets
Many Patriots dream of tossing a monkeywrench into the infrastructure of tyranny, but it's going to be hard to top what President Reagan did in that regard:
"In January 1982, President Ronald Reagan approved a CIA plan to sabotage the economy of the Soviet Union through covert transfers of technology that contained hidden malfunctions, including software that later triggered a huge explosion in a Siberian natural gas pipeline"

I will get this book.
Ronald Reagan was a great man. The best president in my life time, the best president of the 20th centruy, and one of the top three or four presidents in the history of our nation.

McDonald was an anti-communist congressman from Georgia. Speculation was that he was planning to run for president after Reagan.
He was murdered by the Soviets when they shot down KAL 007.

He's referring to the congressman who was killed when the Russians shot down a KAL plane.
Also, with no disrespect intended towards Reagan, I believe that the greatest president of the 20th century was it's first; Theodore Roosevelt.
That said, Godspeed President Reagan; you served your country well......

I know who Larry McDonald is. My problem is with the phrase "Ideological successor."

My Tribute to Ronald Reagan, the Gipper That was outstanding, Jeff. Thank you.
It has been difficult to keep up with all of the President Reagan threads this weekend. I wonder how many other fantastic tributes I have missed?

A man's character can be measured by his enemies. He was hated by the scum of the earth.

Won't even let his villains be villains have to be proto nazis. The movie version of "Clear and Present Danger" was a waste of celluloid. How much control did Clancy end up exercising over the film? It's pretty common for a print author to see his work butchered on the screen, and have little or say in the final product because of the way the contracts are negotiated and written. Clive Cussler has for many years refused to sell the rights to his books because of the botched "Raise the Titanic!" movie.

That entire thread has so many good tributes, pictures, qoutes and experiences. It will be one of my favorite and most cherished threads.
Please consider leaving your own impressions and feelings there.

Very very interesting. If I had money to spend on things other than food, rent and gas I'd buy it. Being in college can really suck at times, ya know.......
