drnykterstein Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Yeah, those damn right wing wackos trying to kill a liberal POTUS in '81 ..... I have to say... by today's standards, Reagan was a liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just want to point out that without Hilter, there would be no decent Holocaust museum in which to shoot. I don't mean to be a jerk, and I know you weren't serious, but I know a lot of people who lost their entire families in the Holocaust........

drnykterstein Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 And Kennedy was a conservative. What's your point? I don't know if he'd be a liberal or not, but he sure as hell would not qualify as a conservative under today's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have to say... by today's standards, Reagan was a liberal. You're almost on to something but you're to dim to see the truth. Reagan was a relatively conservative president but he was the last one we had. Since then, every president has been increasingly liberal, including and especially dubya. So although Reagen would not fit into today's Republican Party, it's not because Reagen would be considered a liberal, it's because the Republican Party is now a more liberal (on issues of big government) party.

Lol, yes sure, whatever you say. Get your head out of the clouds. What was so conservative about Reagan? Because I 100% guarantee you are absolutely wrong, whatever your answer is.

Am I wrong on that? He spent his ass off and grew the debt too, which is why I put the "relatively" caveat on him. Still, in the interest of winning the cold war and speeding the collapse of the USSR, it might not have been the worst decision to eschew his conservative budgeting.

You might delve into the situation that there is this oddity - restriction of legal ownership did nothing to abate rising firearm violence. In fact, it increased. Thoughts?

See you admit he did raise the deficit. Conservative my ass. As far as taxes... he certainly did raise them.. TEFRA, raising the Social Security tax rate, Tax Reform Act of 1986, twice raising the gasoline tax. He nickel and dimed us, while we all believed in the illusion of his initial massive tax cuts. Which if I remember right he also cut 1/3 out of that 1 year after passing those cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Admit" he raised it? Reagan's deficit spending is a hallmark of his Presidency. My 13 month old knows that. And running a budget in a deficit is not a "liberal" or "conservative" principle What the !@#$ is wrong with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
