Gosh they were a depressing defeatist bunch. I still think he was free lancing under Carter and letting his personal hate get in the way of logic.

No question. I want evey one on this board old enough or not to remember that the major media (Time, Newsweek,etc) ANNOUNCED that our best days were over and that because of their absolutisim that the Russians could only be delayed, not defeated. Robert Samuelson declared that their "command" economy was more efficient, a prominent writer from TIME, Strobe Talbott who in addition was a Clintonoid Official (apparatchik) declared that Russia's economic and political system was so much more efficient and functional than ours that they would outlast us.

Everyone really needs to get down on their knees and thank the dear just Lord for Ronald Wilson Reagan (Dutch, Gipper, The Big Boss Man) who restored our self confidence and remionded us of just who we really are and restored us to our greatest sense of self as a country.

Sorry for the rant, but without him, (President Ronald Wilson Reagan) there is no telling where we would be now (at least I cannot bear to think of it).
