Not a joke.
Reagan's idiotic fascination with libertarianism set the table for the bolshevik revolution we are burdened with now.
That fascination resulted in:
- The economic growth that ended poverty and creative malaise in this country and yes — I compare 1978 to 1988 and SAW with my two eyes that the only poor people left walking around then were folks that declined to participate.
- Ending the cold war and letting me dream of a world where MY kids never got something I lived — a reminder once a month that they were one crazy old man’s bad mood away from being ended.
- Setting the stage for REAL GOP participation in Congress — I was in my 30’s before a House majority was rino.
People like being free Jim. Too bad that folks like you can’t handle how others of us enjoy ours. A dude in a dress in the clubs and neighborhoods that like that sort of stuff and isn’t an issue for reasonable people... Until your taxes fund a school that tells you THOU SHALT LOVE THE DUDE IN THE DRESS. 100% Nope on that.
I agree.
The main effect of libertarians is to give leftists even greater victories down the road.
Someone on Twitter dug up this memo from Reagan people on how they wanted to distance Reagan from Solzhenitsyn.
