The "Reagan revolution" .... GIVE ME A FLAPPIN BREAK ... what a crock of shit

[Doc Mercer]

People bought that shit just like they bellied for Bush thinking he was a "Spirtual Man of God .."

in reality it was the beginning of a systematic dismantling of the social contract .... detachment of the ruling class from any responsibility and attacks on tax rates regulations and government itself

Reagan's election was the first major victory in a phase of the class war which continued (despite Clinton) for 28 years as a triumph for the land-owning, stock-owning, money-owning ruling class at the expense of everything else

including the public sector


YEAH .... THANKS REAGAN FOR NOTHING !!!

[ yet another useless ignorant dumb-ass thread by Doc ]


Bipartisan historian group ranked Reagan the 10th best president of all time last month.

:+excited-:+excited-:+excited-:+excited-



Ronald Reagan was rated 10th best, up from 11th in a similar survey taken in 2000; Bill Clinton was rated 15, up from 21 in 2000. George H.W. Bush went to 18 from 20.
The five best presidents, according to the historians, were Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, and Harry Truman, in that order. Rounding out the top 10 were John F. Kennedy at six, Thomas Jefferson, Dwight Eisenhower, Woodrow Wilson, and Reagan.


The survey was conducted for C-SPAN, the cable network, among 65 presidential historians and scholars, who ranked the 42 former occupants of the White House on 10 attributes of leadership: public persuasion, crisis leadership, economic management, moral authority, international relations, administrative skills, relations with Congress, "vision/setting an agenda," "pursued equal justice for all," and "performance within the context of his times."
Supervising the survey were historians Douglas Brinkley of Rice University, Edna Medford of Howard University, and Richard Norton Smith of George Mason University.
"How we rank our presidents is, to a large extent, influenced by our own times," Medford said in a news release. "Today's concerns shape our views of the past, be it in the area of foreign policy, managing the economy, or human rights. . . . Lincoln continues to rank at the top in all categories because he is perceived to embody the nation's core values: integrity, moderation, persistence in the pursuit of honorable goals, respect for human rights, compassion; those who collect near the bottom are perceived as having failed to uphold those values."
Among the historians and political scientists who participated in the ratings were H. W. Brands, Thomas Cronin, Robert Dallek, Alvin Felzenberg, Fred Greenstein, and James McPherson.

Ahh... so you admit that the corrupt Democrats (Frank, Clintons, Pelosi,
Reid, Biden, Gore, Obama...) are just as much to blame for the nightmare.

Now we are getting somewhere.

I'm not a GOPer. Like I said, both bloated corrupt parties are
responsible for this mess, and for anyone to suggest otherwise is
painfully ignorant - or just plain stupid.

Which one are you Doc?
