And, hello, Star Wars? geez louise! god what a moron! I dunno...but that's like comparing crap with turds  But still, in my heart, Reagan will always hold that special place of utter and complete hatred. Maybe cause he was after Carter? anyways...Me and work guy were actually waxing nostalgic about Nixon, in comparison. he said, Nixon didn't like it, but at least he was the last Repub president to realize his job was to respect and uphold the constitution. And Reagan put Scalia in. And tried to make a fricking anti flag burning ammedment to the constitution!!! WTF?! |
I did say seemingly...
Nancy wanted Ronnie to win a Nobel Peace prize and to that end she encouraged him not to come off as a warmonger. When our Marines were killed in Lebanaon, we left.
Reagan appointed many, many conservative judges. He also appointed Kennedy, O'Connor and Rehnquist. They were three of the five in the 5-4 decision that selected our current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
