I have two friend who are Conservative GOP lackeys who make allot of noise about Reagan and yet I refute them with facts...not Fox TV idea of facts....verifiable historical facts..... What you stated about Reagan is correct....I didn't agree with him on all issues just like I don't agree with President Obama. Nixon was one of our smartest presidents especially in dealing with Chinese and on foreign policy but also a dishonest leader and vindictive. We were politically aware in late 60s and 70 s. Remember Vietnam War was ongoing, Johnson's Great Society plans getting speed along with civil rights changes. I was there.....these friends always knock Clintons presidency but even when i told them he left a budget deficit by changing Reagan era policies they sent it. They don't accept historical facts. Don't get me started on Bush and Iraq....its personal with me...my son will never be the same along with thousands other vets. I don't give a shit he came from Texas....he and Chaney are idiots. And i won 100.00 bet Prick Perry would drop out of race.
Jaime Solorza After his presidency Reagan sent letters to Republican politicians urging them to support the assault rifle ban, which helped its passage in the early Clinton years. As president, Reagan famously enabled amnesty for millions of undocumented immigrants. As president, Reagan raised taxes (after he had cut them), and if course routinely supported raising the debt limit Most forgotten was that Reagan was an optimist and a fast friend of Dem House Speaker Tip O'Neill, with whom he worked in numerous compromises. What Reagan was not was a vicious ideologue or zealot who refused to even engage the opposition. Today's "Republicans" can't even be seen shaking the President's hand for fear the nihilists will primary them.

Were Reagan president today, you'd be calling him a "libtard." You are clearly under 40 years old.

He was truly ineffective. Ford and Bush?? Hahaha. Not conservative RINO. Reagan, a different story. He wasn't perfect, but in his heart he held conservatism high. There is only one way to preside and that is to work with the other side some. That's when he had to give up his far right position some Nixon is the only conservative that had any bearing on this country in the last 50 years. I should say conservative bearing!

How about all of the damage the liberal logic has done to this country in the past say 50 years???? Is that not rude? You know, actually it's so far beyond rude, that we can't measure it anymore. Start with the debt, the credit ratings of the country, the backdoor payoff deals, the stupidity of laws that cover laws that should not have ever been written in the first place. Or, the stupid recent healthcare law that the majority of the population don't want because we were lied to about it. And then the RINOs bailing out their favorite companies after they got their kickbacks? And this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. It's all liberal stupidity. Notice I didn't say Democrat or Republican? It's libtards! These folk have no concern for their country or their fellow man. All they want is to line their pockets and control people! Call me rude if you like! I haven't even cracked the door on the rudeness these people have done to all of us including many generations to follow us! And, while were at it, how about all of those babies that will never have an opportunity to join us? What a sickening shame! No, Travesty!

But, saw enough of those that were not in agreement with you in the thread to know that they don't believe in "Certain Inalienable Rights" with government here only to preserve those rights, not impose someone else's stupidity on me. And, that the libs want someone else to take care of them all of the time. To me, that's retarded and just plain dumb. Now that I look at those that have their crazy position and compare that position to their past posts on here, I now understand some of their past posts here! I am not about to let someone shoot me during a convenience store holdup. I will die with my 45 in hand before I let the bad guy take me or anyone else easily. Now, to shoot someone as he is driving away with my dvd player as more libtardiness suggested,,,, How dumb! To take a life because someone is a thief??? That's just another liberal ploy adage to try to make others believe that we shouldn't have those inalienable rights. Life is precious, things, not so much! But my life is more precious to me than to let someone else try to protect me from halfway across the county (The Police)! So, to make my point about your comment "People assume you are out of salient points to make." No, I'm just trying to use a concise word that describes all the stupidity that today's liberals have stooped to. and libtard pretty much does that!

I love this list. Folks are smart and mostly polite and post some pretty well reasoned arguments on both sides of almost any issue. This is all the social media I need. I did want to make a comment about the Illinois FOID card. I was a hostage in a bank robbery back in about 1993 in Quincy Illinois. Once it was over and I got out of the bank, I learned that a co-worker had suffered some kind of stress attack and was in the hospital. That afternoon they were out of beds in some of the areas so that took him to the 5th floor. That is the psych floor. Then, it turned out, anyone that gets admitted to a psych ward in Illinois gets reported to the FOID people. They revoke the FOID card. This guy was a big time hunter. It just about killed him. He got some pretty good press and got some political help. Hot his card back in about 6 weeks. So, if you want to keep your FOID stay out of psych wards! -- Philip J.
