I think it is worth pointing out that while Ronald Reagan was leading the free world to victory in the cold war, the naysayers were saying the same stuff they are saying today. Even back then it was "loss of international diplomatic friends," france hates us, the world hates us and so on.

Kerry was in office during the Ronald Reagan years, I bet he said some choice insults to Ronald Reagan. He probably praised the USSR. He probably voted FOR the sandanistas and against the Afgan Rebels.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

I know Kerry voted "with" the Sandinistas and against most, if not all, of Reagan's foreign policy agenda.

Yes, the Quisling Left reminds me a lot of the "peace thru surrender" crowd of the mid '80's.

"I think it is worth pointing out that while Ronald Reagan was leading the free world to victory in the cold war, the naysayers were saying the same stuff they are saying today."

How right you are and I remember it well. He was inspiring in so many ways, both in what he said AND what he did. He has been so missed. It is ashame he wasn't healthier, longer, after leaving office. Our debt of gratitude to Ronald Reagan is endless.
