Yes - I understand the "checkmate" post now (usually the person who wins the chess game says that, so that's why I was confused). I'm still confused as to why you think I am trashing Reagan - I was defending him. YOU were the one who claimed that "Amnesty leads to socialism" - and since Reagan signed amnesty, I asked if you thought Reagan was a Socialist. It was a question, not a statement. No "twisted" logic there at all.
Fair question however it was stated as a fact rather than a question.
So the word association was a stretch at best.
"Claimed" amnesty =socialism, claimed? You give me to much credit.
In my word association game the illegals are socialists giving them amnesty will promote socialism the liberals support giving them amnesty therefore amnesty will spread socialism. Therefore Amnesty spreads socialism.
Yes while it is true our greatest President ever did pass amnesty way back in the 80's, word association again, he was a Republican AND at that time liberals were not as active in spreading socialism I am certain he never equated socialism with amnesty in fact he was responsible for toppling communism, he came from a totally different era.
So I am certain he was given intelligence, advice and so forth to allow him to believe that it would be a good thing for the country again at that time in the 80's.
So therefore I never would have seen any word association Reagan, amnesty, socialism....see? BUT you did! One must take pause and say hmmmm.
