What Obama is to the Liberals . Reagan is to the Conservatives. Both worshiping their Messiah. I heard a Conservative twist a statement going around You know the one What would Jesus say , Well now I am hearing What would Reagan say! Well let me tell you Ronald Reagan is dead and you can't bring him back. He is not a God or a Messiah. In fact many of his policies just pushed the problems of American economics under the rug. He wages a war in the Middle East and we never got out of it. Why did Reagan train Bin Ladin and make him part of the CIA?
Reagon was a racist.
1960s Reagan opposed certain civil rights legislation, saying that "if an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes or others in selling or renting his house, it is his right to do so." In his rationale, he cited his opposition to government intrusion into personal freedoms, as opposed to racism; he strongly denied having racist motives and later reversed his opposition to voting rights and fair housing law
Reagan was against Medicare and wanted to put the burden of Medical expense on the elderly. The elderly were eating canned dog food
When legislation that would become Medicare was introduced in 1961, Reagan created a recording for the American Medical Association warning that such legislation would mean the end of freedom in America. Reagan said that if his listeners did not write letters to prevent it, "we will awake to find that we have socialism. And if you don't do this, and if I don't do it, one of these days, you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children's children, what it once was like in America when men were free.
Reagan wanted to control the people (Isn't that socialism Isn't that what every Conservative is complaining about with Obama?)
Reagan endorsed the campaign of conservative presidential contender Barry Goldwater in 1964. Speaking for Goldwater, Reagan stressed his belief in the importance of smaller government. He revealed his ideological motivation in a famed speech delivered on October 27, 1964: "The Founding Fathers knew a government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing."He also said, "You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream – the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order – or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism."This "A Time for Choosing" speech raised $1 million for Goldwater's campaign and is considered the event that launched Reagan's political career.
Abortion Issue Your Reagan Messiah was for Abortion and lied he was a pro-lifer
Early in 1967, the national debate on abortion was beginning. Democratic California state senator Anthony Beilenson introduced the "Therapeutic Abortion Act", in an effort to reduce the number of "back-room abortions" performed in California. The State Legislature sent the bill to Reagan's desk where, after many days of indecision, he signed it. About two million abortions would be performed as a result, most because of a provision in the bill allowing abortions for the well-being of the mother.Reagan had been in office for only four months when he signed the bill, and stated that had he been more experienced as governor, it would not have been signed. After he recognized what he called the "consequences" of the bill, he announced that he was pro-life.He maintained that position later in his political career, writing extensively about abortion.
Ronald Reagan called those who were ill BUMS even though there is Welfare fraud there are many who really need this money to live off of. In Pennsylvania only $205 is given to each person on Welfare or state assistance programs and that has stopped. Reagan knowing he could not stop welfare called these people bums to incite hate to win an election. Sound familiar ? Obama did that with the immigration laws with the Latinos. The problem with Reagan there were no jobs , no training for jobs, no daycare for mothers to put their children in, During those years the economy was so bad the the British sterling dropped thanks to George Soros
Reagan's terms as governor helped to shape the policies he would pursue in his later political career as president. By campaigning on a platform of sending "the welfare bums back to work", he spoke out against the idea of the welfare state. He also strongly advocated the Republican ideal of less government regulation of the economy, including that of undue federal taxation.
Conservatives boost Ronald Reagan was a straight shooter but he flip flopped on Civil Rights issues.
Reagan launched his campaign by declaring "I believe in states' rights", in Philadelphia, Mississippi, known at the time for the murder of three civil rights workers who had been trying to register African-Americans to vote during the civil rights movement. However, Reagan's stance on the Briggs Initiative, also known as Proposition 6, a ballot initiative in Reagan's home state of California where he was governor, which would have banned gays, lesbians, and supporters of LGBT rights from working in public schools in California. His opposition to the initiative was instrumental in its landslide defeat by Californian voters. Reagan published an editorial in which he stated "homosexuality is not a contagious disease like the measles", and that prevailing scientific opinion was that a child's sexual orientation cannot be influenced by someone else
If this is the man you are worshiping people really forget what this man stood for. What would Ronald Reagan say today? Give me the manuscript so I can study my part Because I played the President in films and in real life. So you see Conservatives all Presidents Flip Flop but the dangerous ones are the ones who violate the Constitution and take away your rights for the pursuit of happiness freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
