That's right, duck out when you find you're losing................if you are going to beak off you should be prepared to stand by it.


Still whinning about this eh?

That's certainly the mythology alright, but it's not true. Reagan just happened to be the U.S. President when the old USSR imploded under the weight of its own mismanagement, corruption, and inefficiency. Wouldn't have mattered who the U.S. President was, it would have happened anyway.

That is like saying that in 2008 America was ready to elect a black person for President no matter who she/he was. It would not have mattered (and indeed, it did NOT) that that person was the least prepared and least qualified candidate in American history.

Buyer's remorse, anyone??

In Canada, our most popular Prime Minister was a Nazi-Sympathizer, Occultist, who otherwise should have been thrown into an insane asluym, and nevertheless led our country for almost 20 years!

In regards to this thread, I'll say JFK but it was unfortunate that he was shot. Sure he may have had "affairs", but that's nothing considering what some of our past Prime Ministers, long before Kennedy, had done (even John A. McDonald himself was a womanizer. I guess Christian Values weren't exactly stressed in our politicial leadership)

That's pathetic. You're suggesting they tore down the wall because Reagan gave a speech?

Kinda like the wizard standing on the beach, saying, "I'm going to make the tide come in if it takes me all day"

And yet it came down. The German people knew the U.S. was behind them with Reagan in office, and the USSR did not want any more conflict with the West with revolt brewing throughout their slave states.

That is purely specious argument.

Indeed it did, but not because Reagan said, 'Tear down this wall!'.

That's got to be one of the silliest myths that people believe about the great actor.

I have rock in my front garden that keeps away tigers.

How do I know?

I have never seen a tiger in my yard.

An actor can make anything seem true, and since the USSR came apart under his watch, he must have done it. No one else was capable of really doing it, the U.S. was a rich mega super power then.

The only thing we can be grateful of Reagan were his "trickle down economics", for good or (more accurately) for the worst.
