I find it amazing you can now get more objective reporting about our own President from the Moscow Times than the American press. It shows how significantly Reagan's Presidency changed the entire course of humanity.

Best comment of the day, IMHO...

Nicely done!!

Was watching Chris Matthews this evening, and he said to one guest that Regan's popularity stopped at our borders.

So you get what I mean when this professor said Chris Mathews on his gushing - this guy was so left he was falling off the precipice.

Wonder where all the actors were to pay him tribute. Lots of foreign leaders, boy scouts, 5,000 people men, woman & children an hour - NO ACTORS - except Arnold Schwartenegger.

Very sad!

Maybe what Matthews meant is beyond our borders in those other nations secure in their democracy, protected by the American superpower fist, who have been so for sufficiently long, that they now view it as something sort of like a law of physics and an entitlement, and thus feel free to be self indulgent and feckless, and to spend almost nothing on their own defense, or carrying the load of defending democracy, putting aside those dollars they spend on their military as a government job program, as opposed to something that actually can perform in battle, which would move the characterization from almost nothing, to near nothing.

Unfortunately I have the exact answer here. I once read an American conservative article that has investigated this phenomenon. The author discovered that the Nobel peace prize committee is aware of the "peace through strength" and the committee said that they WILL NOT award anything to someone who has achieved peace through this means, saying that this was "incompatible with the original disarmament ideals of Mr Nobel blah blah blah...".

So sorry, award for Kissinger, but never for Reagan. I now know that the Nobel peace prize commemorates has very little usefulness in the big real world.

At one point, at least, you could respect the persons who won.

I say again:

they gave that thing to Arafat, it ain't worth shit now.

Come to think of it, I never saw Tommy boy out there. Perhaps I missed it. Nope, that 'liberal satan' and his 'evil Kennedy spawn' wife were the ones who showed up to pay Regan homage.

I hear you. That's okay, we don't need their kind. If they don't show up, it's no loss to me. It's just par for the course.

These folks may not show up because Nancy whould whop them up side the noggen.

In a sense he was right. Unless you are very, very conservative in much of the non-US West that were not part of the former Soviet empire - i.e. Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Norway but not Czech Republic for instance (and not conservative enough to have fallen into the nationalist and anti-American Right), you will have sneered at Reagan's legacy.

I personally feel some American liberals feel the same but can't express their true feelings at public because they know doing so will make their political future toast - after all, they are in the United States! Foreign left-wingers (or "centrists") and the far-left Americans have no such inhibitions so they feel free to say what they truly think about Reagan.

This post of mine probably sounded like I was attempting to say that I didn't need Tom McClintock's kind. In truth I was thinking of the liberal entertainment folks. Sorry for the inadvertant implication.

How ironic that Nobel's goal in life was to achieve peace by creating a weapon so powerful that nobody would dare to use it.

I never did hear about the Nobel Peace Prize that Ronald Reagan (at least should have) won. He saved the lives of and granted freedom to hundreds of millions of people (no exaggeration). How could he have been denied?

The Nobel Peace Prize jumped the shark a long time ago.

"Russians like a straightforward person, be he enemy or friend. They despise a wishy-washy person."

Carter - Reagan

Kerry - Bush

Interesting study in contrasts.
