When I was a small child I decided I was a Republican while following the 1979 elections. I was impressed with Ronald Reagan then and throughout his two terms as President of the United States. In my lifetime I don’t think there has been a better leader and I have been hoping to see one come along. This election brings hope for me in the form of Fred Thompson, who I feel would be very close to what we had with Reagan.
I found this video and decided to post it here…

Moreover, as he had not been overseas, but used his knowledge of film and his well-known personality to make training films - he refused promotion to Major.He had more talent as a leader of the military than many Generals. He restored pride and purpose, and showed loyalty well beyond what Carter, or Clinton, or Gore ever did, with their so thinly veiled contempt for all of us.

premission to speak freely sir?

You speak about NSC68 of course, developed in large from the findings of Kennan and others - Ah but the peaceniks wanted to depart from that assessment, and see the Soviet Union as a thing we could peacefully coexist with, overlooking their enslavement of Czech, and Poland, and Hungary - ignoring their adventurism in Africa and Latin America - and Reagan fought them starting in 1964 very publicly, to continue our active opposition to global Communism.

Why would you ask such a thing? Are you talking to me? If you have something to say, you are of course free to say it - I use my rank because there are so many Jeff Whites, and because I do not hide who I am, not to establish authority over anyone here.

if ronald reagan was president during this war it would be over i doubt there would be an iraq. ronald reagan was the one who inspired me to join the military he was a great man and the greatest president

Indeed - it was RR who instituted the doctrine that we should never use military force unless vital interests were at stake; the mission was achievable; and popular support could be assured - each condition of which would have indeed been satisfied - through Reagan’s skil & polish. We would not have had to long endure the treasonable attacks of so many we suffer today. RR would have disarmed them through his abundant communications genius…

If this is directed at me, I plead innocent. That was somebody else below -I would never say such a thing - and by the way: Thank you for your service!
[From YouTube]
plead innocent to what? i’m confused lol and thank you for your service as well

The thing is this - all the lying and misrepresentation aside, most Iraqis are not our enemy, and need not be harmed - they sign up to govern, to serve, to work. A tiny minority bomb and kill.There is a chance we can win, but only with patience and compassion, forebearance, and discipline to shoot only the targets which need shooting.And that ain’t easy, as you know.

Damn I miss Reagan. Especially after dealing with Bush for so long…
[From YouTube]
I miss him, too, but:”God bless George W. Bush,” is what I think Ronald Reagan would say. Popularity is fickle, as are the people - and charm is important, but the least important commodity of any true statesman - as Reagan would also affirm.Steadfastness of principle and faith are far more important.History will judge George W. Bush very kindly.

What an excellent President… articulated why we had to be couragous and advance human liberty in the face of terrors and dangers.

Every President in my life time, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W Bush are not worthy to shine this mans shoes. Ronal Reagan, truly a GREAT American. May he rest in peace.
[From YouTube]
Reagan was definately the greatest president of the last century.God Bless Ronald Reagan!!
[From YouTube]
The man was a true leader, and he did it by example. Our current President should have learned a few things from him, sadly he didn’t. I thank God for Ronald Reagan, and one of my most cherished memories were meeting him and having the honor of spending time with him during his 1984 re-election campaign.

this guy could really rock the mic, you cant deny even if your a lefty

Typical Micheal Moore type dem. Pretend things to be true and say them with all the conviction they can. Because these statements are as close as they get to truths. Sad. Ahemd may be making fun of you or more likely be as stupid as the college communists annoying this country and believe your stupid story.
Reagan did pretty well in 8 yrs as President, but alot of his budget cuts made him look like a cold person to alot of Americans. Alot of the budget cut money was used to rebuild the us military that was not updated under Jimmy Carter, the money had to come from somewhere, so the poorest of the poor paid the price, asot of social programs were reduced or even shut down. NOW comes the real part of ME !!! Im really not to concerned with social program cuts ! Im not too concerned about the Unemployment changes (now only 6mos of U.C.) unlike the 1-2 yrs of benifits some people collected back then ! Social people need to stand on their own 2 feet like the majority of us do everyday, there’s days Im not really up to doing my job, but I must, I cant complain– Gee Captain Im not feeling too well today, can I just sit around and get paid… Gee Captain, Im not too happy that those people are shooting at me, can I go home and sit on my ass all day and watch tv and drink beer all day…
Reagan also took alot away from Vets like my father and grandfather and uncles and so on… We bit the stick and took it like men, unlike those Social Welfare people, it needed to be done to make America a stronger and better nation, to help alot of Americans to finally stand on their own 2 feet…
Those who dont like or care for my comments must understand that THE people of the U.S.A. are the ones who make it a great nation, but it could be an even greater nation if all the dead beats would get off their lazy asses and start giving back to the nation thats supported you for years maybe even generations…

Too much snow here, too damn cold but its nice.

Hey Twotours -
Have not seen you on for awhile. You get settled in at your new assignment?
Malagent
Yea, left the States late last week alot of paperwork in N.C. then off. There is going to be alot of changes around here, lax security and shit like that, poor attitude of the civilian guards, one actually had the nerve to tell me to take a drink from a bottle I was carrying, his tune changed when I showed him my ID and Report Papers, so in essence I told him that he works for ME and if he likes his job he better be more polite to ALL people not just the Americans and stop being so rude… Hmmm, what have these young Marines gotten themselfs into, one young Marine told me I remind him of Clint Eastwood, I just replyed that hes a pussy and Im the real deal… Its going to be interesting being back in MÜNCHEN…. So I’ll try to keep up with your posts and try to give the best responces I can to the issues at hand…….. Semper Fi
Twotours -
Don’t have too much fun, and definitely be safe! We are glad to have you here, speak your mind - you know I will.
I’ve been very busy here and have not been able to post much for a couple weeks. I’m setting up several new web sites and the next thing I know it’s been awhile since I’ve attended to the ones I already have. In the next few weeks I will be unveiling forums here, and several other things that should prove to at least be interesting.
Malagent,
I’m not sure how I feel about Freddy yet. The latest debate kind of annoyed me because he seemed so indirect with so many questions. Also…he rambled. I can’t stand rambling. Oddly enough, even as a Ron Paul supporter, I was incredibly impressed with McCain. If anything, I’d grab a beer with the fellow. He is VERY direct and to the point, which is the mark of a solid individual no matter how you look at it.

I dont ksow who to vote for.
I am on disability because Bab Normal will not pull his
head out of his butt and hire me.
I did my part, now the employers are not doing
their part, the employers are being stupid and
when I apply for a job they shove their heads
way up their butts and hire some stupid union worker
who just sits around and twists ose bolt and
does nathing.
I DO A GOOD Job why cant these dirty old
poopyholes see that? Hire me and they
WOULD NOT Have me living on disability
“using up thier taxes” Hire me and I would
not be “Leaching” dont they know who to hire???
They always hire the stupidbutt who stands by the water
cooler talking about mhat girl he is going to kiss next,
does he think we give a buttcrack??? I have a job
to do not sntand in front of the water cooler talking about
stupid boring crap.
Actually, I HAVE a job editing video, it just does not
seem to be generating money right now, but I do it anyway
becuzz it is all I can do. I cant do non type-matched work unless I
expect to flop at it.
My money is disability because I am disabled and Bob Normals
have their heads stuffed in their butts too much
to realise I am the one they need to hire, they are
prejudiced and they get away with it because
they dont tell anyone they are.
