    Then why did you pose this question to Dawg "Why did you hate America?" When it very obviously a loaded question. I think you entrapped yourself on this.

    No.

    As I said before, I responded to that post in kind.

    Why do you torture little kittens?

    Which post Dawg's or mind? You did respond to mine in kind and Your continued posting loaded questions after telling me you know what they are is showing your stupidity and insanity.

    But you haven't said why you asked Dawg the original loaded question "Why do you Hate America?". You are looking rather stupid by not admitting that you were trying to throw dirt rather putting up valid counter point to Dawg's posts. Which also means you really do not have anything intelligent left to add to this topic. Which Dawg also has called you on.

    I'll try this again.

    Reagan was a movie star.

    He looked good in a suit.

    He was a great pitchman.

    He handled his office with dignity.

    He sold the rest of the world on the American Dream. (Whatever that is in your book)

    He make the communist world take note, and made them believe that America could build a "Star Wars" defense.

    He was too old for BJs in the Oval Office.

    He garnered in shameless greed under the name of yuppy-ism.

    Hands Down! The winner of this debate is Dawg, Swalker, 5go and Flying High Now.

    They all gave detailed reasons of how Reagan and Bush policy has hurt the US and all BTS and RollerDave could do to back up their claims is wave the patriotic flag and a Times Magazine Cover. Looks pretty but says NOTHING.

    No contest! I'm from Canada and I'm like Switzerland. Totally neutral and unbiased.

    Yeah, Regan did look good in a suit and that's about all he did look good in.

    I wish I had a gif file of Precious Pup doing his mischievous little laugh.

    With sound of course.

    Okay, I can't resist. This is what we did, 5Go, to help debunk the Reagan Myth. It's a Metaphor! In all his glory, a 25 second short of Precious Pup:

    Can a single man be blamed for the actions of society at large? Did Reagan act as a yuppie-booster? Did Reagan sign the Great Yuppie Act of 1982? Do you see what I am getting at?

    Ships go back over and read what I said. Jesse Helms helped him win the nomination he was basically a lame duck before Jesse Helms touted him as the next Wonder Bread. He gets the republican nod and takes North Carolina along with most of the racist southern votesthat loved Jesse Helms and took his word for gold. After Jesse Helms turned on Reagan though, Reagan felt the need to return the favor and rallied for him to win a very very close Senate race in N.C. Now why would a president feel the need to support a senator who was completely against him and trashed him all over the media? It seems your the one with a revisionist history. Why was there none of this Reagan touting in the 90's? The recession got blamed on Bush I in the late 80's early 90's yet during Clinton's years the great economic boom got blamed on Reagan. How exactly does that work?
