great posts and I sincerely mean this. reagan set the world back by who knows how many years.

I can't wait for his shit wife to die as well and to piss on both of their graves

>>64549
if by "machiavellian" you mean "alzheimer's riddled mental patient"

>>64579
Well the fucker managed to get his cock sucked into next decade for 20 years and is worshipped all over despite how much of a two face fuck he was.

bumpin my own thread all the conservifags need to read this

Wow. Thank you OP. I'm going to have to get some sources on all of this, but holy shit if you are right then this is fucking excellent ammo.

This is why people like Reagan should never enter politics.

conservative response, do want

>>64672
Imma bet conservatives will gloss over everything and go lol start bombing in five minutes.

>>64663

not OP, it is pretty much all correct

reagan was simply a terrible excuse for a human being

Ha ha Reagan.

He was a two time president because he was good.

...haha, none of the Palin/Beckfags want to comment on this?

Bill Clinton is a criminal too.

>>64672
But he defeated Communism, bro!

>>64696

yep

After reading Nixonland I was amazed at how much of a faggot he was before becoming president.

Most of that was flat out opinions and lies.

Like your Bork mention or saying he encouraged Iran to keep hostages.

Also, some of it was when he was a Democrat Governor of California.

You try so hard... Yet fail so beautifully.

/new/, I had my doubts about you at first. But this thread is glorious.

BUMPING AS HARD AS A MOTHERFUCKER CAN

>Trees cause pollution.
>Ketchup as a vegetable.
lolwat

>>64700
Well yeah, he was a conservative democrat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Responsibility_and_Work_Opportunity_Reconciliation_Act

>>64700
Indeed, but when you talk to most people, he was looked at as a criminal for the wrong reason (sup Monica).

>>64716
Liberals are all criminals. Regan was a hero. This doctrine was great. And liberals want to talk debt when obama just broke an all time high in debt.

>>64709

So when he became a republican he suddenly became a different man?

>>64746

On gun control, abortion, and economic policy wise... Yes.

>>64709
>>64730
Someone else try to defend Regan. Preferably with facts rather than opinions.

>>64730
And any right thinking liberal will agree- Obama is terrible.

That said, a recession IS the time for the government to spend heavily, then tax the following boom to pay it back.

The Fairness Doctrine removal had to be one of the most damaging thing he did as president.

This was a bill that demanded equal time to both sides (not just right and far right as it is today) on the major news channels in the states. Once that was dead, so was the other side (on air, at least). This would then open the floodgates for people like Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

Ronald Reagan was the devil.

>>64753

>Defend against opinions without opinions

Wut? The posts were total bullshit and half were speculation or conspiracy theory. When you start using phrases like "Boondoggle" you know it's an opinion piece.

>>64714
Reagan had ketchup and relish reclassified from condiments to vegetables to make school lunches appear more healthy.
Reagan once said "Trees cause more pollution than cars"

>>64765

OMG WE CAN'T HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH

>Air America fails.

Liberals are 20% of the population... No one wants to hear them.

>>64757
As obvious as that seems to intelligent people, if there's any place you'll get disagreement about it it's here on /stormfront/.

>>64753
Lol buys op's opinions when he never gave citations.

>>64757
>And any right thinking liberal will agree- Obama is terrible.

I couldn't agree with you more, broseph. Obama even mentioned that he looked up to Reagan at some point.

Pic related. My face when hearing this.

>>64768
Most of the ones I immediately recognize were facts. "Star Wars" did end up being a failure, it wasnt possible at the time.

>>64768
>Opinions

No, most are solid hard facts. Look them up.

>>64780
lolwow

It's possible to hate Obama, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Carter all at the same time.

>>64757
That's usually how we end up entering another depression, Johnny mah boi.

Conservatives only want to fucking plug their ears with their fingers and then go 'lalalalala' when someone has solid evidence their fucking messiah was actually nothing more than a criminal.

Grow up and face the truth, douchebags.

Reagan won the cold war, and is the most beloved president, second only to Theodore Roosevelt.

>>64765
Well, I don't agree with the Fairness Doctrine. You can't force things to be fair. That's just bullshit.

>>64821

Conservatives only want to fucking plug their ears with their fingers and then go 'lalalalala' when someone has solid evidence

just needed to stop there

>>64813
Which part, spending during a recession or trying to pay it back afterward rather than gleefully flying into bankruptcy? Either way, you're so obviously wrong that you should be embarrassed to share your opinions even on 4chan.

>>64821
You guys did that with messiah obama and now you guys are reaping the failure to listen nigger.

>>64780

And repeal of fairness doctrine has lead to things like this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Akre

>>64830
>Reagan
>Beloved

Only by conservatives.

>>64830
>Reagan won the Cold War

LOL

>>64838
and you guys thought he was the devil in disguise and the end of the world was coming. How funny.

>>64838
>Messiah Obama

Stop. I'm sick of that.

>>64832
>You can't force things to be fair. That's just bullshit.

You mean hearing/reading about actual news and hearing both sides of an argument is 'bullshit'? Really?

>>64856
Oh come on just listen to Sean hannity try to defend name calling while calling him the "anointed one"

>>64845
Coughs obama you fucking moron! Obama loved the guy.

>>64856
Messiah Obama wants you to not question him liberal sheeple.

>>64859
You're right, but unfortunately that's not what the fairness doctrine really did. Bringing it back will just get us lame circuses like Hannity and Colmes (which of course was after the fairness doctrine was overturned, but you get the idea).

>>64871
and Obama is a moderate president, somewhat learning to the right. Unlike this 'radical' bullshit conservatives keep arguing about.

>>64859
The government should not have control over radio broadcasting.

Obama is only far left in America. Everywhere else he is moderate.

>>64898
>Obama
>far left

Hardly. If anything, he's another right-wing Democrat since he's been kissing ass to the conservatives (then again, Democrats have been doing that since before most of us were born).

Thank god that man suffered YEARS before he died. He fucking deserved it.

CONSERVATIVES: USE GOOGLE

Thank you and STFU.

OP is copy and pasting this so I'm gonna help him out with his questions.
>>64528
Crack epidemic was basically caused by the CIA. Drugs from the Contras and Mujahadeen were smuggled into America by people working for the CIA (although not necessarily agents). The Company would use its clearance to waive them through.
Oscar Danilo Blandon Reyes remains the only foreign national to ever be convicted of drug possession in the USA and not deported because he was working for the CIA. After serving his 2 year sentence, the DEA hired him for a $42,000 a year job. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danilo_Blandon
"Freeway" Ricky Ross made $3 million a week off of CIA drugs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Ross_%28drug_trafficker%29
>>64539
Yeah he definitely meant Afghanistan, not Uzbekistan.
Neo-conservativism got started in the early 70s by a bunch of former Social Democrats who went "Damn, all the shit we did for these black people and they're still rioting? What gives?". They were famously influenced by Leo Strauss, who felt that leaders needed to give populations collective myths to believe in and give the appearance that they believed in these myths too (Christian Evangelicism anybody?). A lot of their ideas gained a foothold in the Republican Party because the editor of the Wall Street Journal in the late 70s was a NeoCon. Reagan, influenced by their ideas although not a NeoCon himself, appointed many, including Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz to key positions.
Yes, ending fairness doctrine plus liberal media myth did that.

>>64811
It's true! By the standards of the Nuremberg Trials, every American President could be tried and convicted of war crimes (and should be!). Any serious leftist would understand that they should hate every president and when they say they "like" one they should mean in relation to other presidents.

>>64980
>every American President could be tried and convicted of war crimes (and should be!)

>>64989
>every American President could be tried and convicted of war crimes (and should be!)

>>64989
>>65009
If you want I can go through and name some of the crimes of all of them.

>>64980
>every American President could be tried and convicted of war crimes (and should be!).

I would love this.

1. Cut taxes on the people who have the most money
2. Increase taxes on the poor
3. Start wars while decrying government spending
4. ????
5. Profit!

>>64765
What warped logic could have lead you to this conclusion? Why should you be forced to broadcast something you don't believe in? Anyone can start up their own publication and focus on whatever they want. That's real freedom.

>>64537

Was Alzheimer's an acceptable substitute?

>>65060
Nope. Bullet in the head, accept no substitutes.

>fairness doctrine

stopped reading right there. Seriously, if you think the fairness LOL doctrine is constitutional you're a fucking retard.

>>64989
Except for Carter, he just really, REALLY tried. He did say to the American people that part of the shit we're in is their own fault. He gets point for that.

Also we haven't had a liberal president since... LBJ? Fuck it's been half a century already.

>>65055
RUSH LIMBAUGH EVIL HURRR DUUUR KEITH OLBERMANN REASONABLE PERSON DUUUR DURR

It would be funny to see what would happen if conservatives were in control and the fairness doctrine was made law. Bet libs wouldn't be too happy about that.

>This thread

>>65093
They're still reeling from the loss of Air America.

>>65092
Carter began the funding to the Mujahadeen and helped fund the Indonesian genocide of East Timor and Khmer Rouge autogenocide. One of the least violent presidents though.
Last Liberal president was Nixon though. He did things like making the EPA and trying to enact Universal Healthcare. Basically he did anything domestically as long as he knew it would get him votes, liberal or conservative, and since people were generally center-left in his era, he did a lot of very liberal things. Foreign policy though, he's responsible for the deaths of millions. That's something that never changes between presidents.

>>65093
What would the difference be? There would be more liberal radio hosts? I don't think you know what the fairness doctrine is, to be honest

>>65153
The simple fact of the matter is that the average U.S citizens standard of living is dependent on economic exploitation of developing nations. Until this changes, Imperialism will continue.

>>65153
>trying to enact Universal Healthcare
He gave use HMOs that's the exact fucking opposite of Universal Healthcare. Shitsucks the Democrats don't have the spine like they did in the 1960s, we'd have impeached Bush and get shit done.

>>65164
Pretty sure the fairness doctrine would make opinion radio actually turn into NEWS radio

>>65178
If we payed third world countries the same as Americans they would be out of a job.
