Reagan put through the largest tax cut in the nation’s history during his term in office, with both houses of Congress in Democrat hands.
He increased our Naval ships by 100%.
He faced down Gorbachev on Missiles in Europe and Nuclear negotiations that had some in Congress and the press declaring him to be over the hill with senility.
He implemented policies that brought down the Soviet Union, reduced the number of Marxist governments in the world by about ten.
Due to Reagan’s somewhere in the ball park of six nations broke away from the Soviet Union, their people free of Soviet domination for the first time since WWII.
Please explain to me what actions Reagan took that resembled that of a dictator.
You completely misunderstood. I did not imply Reagan WAS a dictator. I’m saying that in order to ‘turn things around’, the ‘next Reagan’ would have to act as a dictator in order to even slow down what the Marxist/Fascists are doing in their velvet coup.
NOT
GONNA
HAPPEN.
This IS NOT the same country it was back in 1980 - hell - the Democrats themselves are no longer the same. Where does this pollyannish unicorn fantasy come from that says we can have a Reagan Part Deux???
Reagan was a product of his time and this country’s culture. That’s all gone now. We have overt Marxists/Fascists where the Ass Party once stood, and Liberal Democrats where Reagan once stood as a party. We’ve already been fundamentally transformed, what about that do you folks fail to grasp? As Obama’s Amnesty gets implemented - we have not a prayer to get it back to the kind of culture or people that selected Reagan to Administer the Executive, not that our votes will count in a mob-run nation of institutionalized corruption at the highest levels on down.
So another Reagan is not possible, and ‘turning things around’ will require that which few to none in politics or the public will have the balls or stomach for.
You are hoping for a messiah to ‘turn things around’. Top on down is NOT how this nation was forged. It was always from the bottom on up. This people and culture are NOT going to select or allow someone to fix what they are grown accustomed. They will suffer evil, while evil is sufferable rather than right themselves and abolish the forms to which they are become accustomed.
I voted for Reagan - none of us saw him as a savior. He was the right man at the right time - but back then, we were still America even under Carter. We saw Jiimmah as a disaster and an embarrassment - not a Zool The Destructor as we have in the Obama regime.
Today we are not even a shadow of what we were when Reagan beat the Peanut farmer. Half our population sees government as god, and is on sustenance from the very beast it feeds our money to. It is nearly wholly ignorant of our foundations and can care less about the very principles of liberty unless it comes out of a can, a bottle, an iPhone and is provided subsidies for all of it.
Presidents are a reflection of the people and the culture, same as the Reps they “elect”. We lost the culture first - now the nation itself is following.
And be warned - it is in times like this that false christs and false messiahs rise up for power’s sake and take advantage of misery with promises they have no intention of keeping. When a people are ready, A leader will appear.
We are not ready.
We have to recapture our history and heritage first - and we have decades of work ahead of us barring any external event that changes everything.
