They dont even know how badly Kerry and Carter messed this country up.

Malaise indeed. Acceptance of the notion(thats a obamaism) that The USA sucks, that we are at fault.

Screw that. When Reagan came into office he brought determination to the office. He turned up the thermostat, ripped off the solar panels on the whitehouse and called Iran.

The hostages were home the next week.

McCain is no Reagan but I will side with McCain for patriotism.

Hate to break this to you, but while Reagan was good (in fact, probably the best we've had since Calvin Coolidge), a mortal trembling fear of him was not why the Iranians released the hostages. The Iranians were using the hostage crisis to encourage a "regime change" in the USA, though it ended up backfiring on them since the "regime" in power had even less affinity for them than Carter did.
