Pardon me sir but you are wrong about one thing... Reagan actually nearly quadrupled the deficit after he claimed he would do away with it in his first campaign... Remember? It was after his silly "There you go again, doom and gloom" speech during his debate with President Carter.... Some people like actors that spout out clever one liners more than those better suited to govern that tell it like it is..It was Carter that predicted us being in the position we are now in.... Even G.H.W. Bush called Reagan's "Trickle down" economic plan, "voo doo economics".

Reagan raised taxes, nearly tripled the deficit, GREW the federal government, gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants and when he cut taxes, unemployment grew to over 10%. I don't know that I would consider him a conservative president.

In any case, we're living in very different times than Reagan times.

Well aren't you chicken feces, taking what I said out of context... I stand by what I said... Yes, people are fooling themselves if they can't see how enslaved they are because they are constantly being told other wise... It has been a downhill ride for a long time but the hill got steeper in 1980 and we are at terminal velocity at this point... The left right idea is a sham you have bought into because it is what you've been conditioned to think.... Now go wave your flag and scream hallelujah.
