Re: [TruthTalk] While we snooze

The reasons Americans are being forced to 'fight' so unintelligently now begin here:   As has been drilled in through the media lately, the bulk of the Reagan presidency focused on removing 'the wall'--"Mr. G.., take this wall down!"   But simultaneously RR was all about 'Star Wars'   Concurrently, in 1983, there were two viscious terrorist attacks against Americans in the midEast--neither of which rippled the placid political waters of the terminating cold war   Snoozing isn't the correct term for it--try imbacility or neglect   RR in 1984 campaigned on building the vaunted 'Star Wars' defense system, not (an ounce of presience) against such global terrorism, but a grandiose self-aggrandising campaign boondoggle directed against the threat of nuclear strikes on America from outer space   Keep in mind that the associated 'Reaganomics' entailed further tax reduction, which for the astronomically expensive military spending as 'Star Wars' projected, entailed private borrowing of billions of (expensive) replacment dollars, not a cent of which was directed toward, e.g., 'Homeland Defense'   In essence RRs admin accepted trillion dollar national debt [aside from the (rejected) 'Star Wars' project--rejected wisely by Congress whom the Reagans and Limbaugh, et. al. accused of excessive spending]   It's a debt which fundamentally crippled the US economy at the bewitching hour; deeper, though, it indicates the mindset of an elite politician consumed with Thatcheristic royalty and totally unconcerned about the looming realities of the modern world   While totally consumed with his own legacy and library historically rooted in gross neglect, RR initated a debacle which continually impairs the rational political process of our culture (touched upon by Mr. Brooks' commentary); indeed, while Islam rages at the door of freedom/s, another mindless (academic:) 'civil war' is raging in the Reagan household G ~ P 235 On Wed, 16 Jun 2004 11:00:19 -0500 "ShieldsFamily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Perhaps this will explain ..
