    Reagan was a ****** idiot who had no clue…

    I don’t agree with the case being made, but this is a clever clip. As someone who is against Reagan on most issues I would argue that Obama was using political tactics to court the right and win votes by initially sounding Reagan-friendly.

    reagan was a democrat, and he left the party because their ideals changed. reagan also supported a bunch of anti-communists as well as nixon

    “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The party left me.” -Ronald Reagan

    The best part about this speech is the fact that Ronald Reagan was a Democrat when he made it! Like him or **** him, at least he is speaking the historical truth in this clip.

    It is sad to see so many Americans today, put aside any sense of personal responsibility to instead demand handouts! The sooner you realize that no one “owes” you anything, the sooner you will push yourself to truly become a better person and self sufficient member of society.

    I don’t know, the postal system, the public libraries, public roadways, fire departments, police departments and the military seem to have worked just fine for a long time and those are government run. Reagan, a few years before this speech was a flaming democrat. Look it up. Someone must have given him a suitcase full of cash to change over. Of course he was against government because government tries to keep the already wealthy and powerful from taking everything via regulation.

    I asked a so called christian to pay my house note one time because I was out of work and they looked at me funny as though I was lying with my my house note in their faces.

    and last xj2yxx:

    – In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent.

    – People who reject the idea that “government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality” give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition.

  13. santiagobuy said

    part 3:
    – Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.

    – Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush.

    – Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average.

  14. santiagobuy said

    part 2:

    – Although liberal families’ incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

  15. santiagobuy said

    Yet another lying liberal.

    Twenty months ago, Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, published “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism.” The surprise is that liberals are markedly less charitable than conservatives.

    If many conservatives are liberals who have been mugged by reality, Brooks, a registered independent, is, as a reviewer of his book said, a social scientist who has been mugged by data. They include these findings:

    The health care system does have its share of problems. Having the government intervene or take over is not the solution. Can anyone name one thing that the Government has done better than the private sector? The citizens of this country need to change things, not the bureacrats and lobbyist. Remember, the President, VP, Congress and the Senate work for us, we don’t work for them.

    Jesus had something to say to those “Why call ye me Lord and do not the things that I say?” and “Many will say unto me Lord have we not done many mighty works in your name and I will say depart from me I never knew you”. Read Mathew chapter 5, the beattitudes and there is your answer.

  18. xj2yzz said

    Yea I know christians say jesus jesus jesus but ask one for a dime and they look at you funny.I just tell them jesus sent me.They look at me even funnier.

  19. xj2yzz said

    he is right on this point he is the problem

  20. xj2yzz said

    Myabe you should tell the pharmaceutical lobbiest that.

    We need change in our health care system, that is all I know. This system probably wont be any better either.

    As it stands now, no natural substance that cures a disorder is used. Cannabinoids cures cancer according to numerous countries.. Turns out, it wouldn’t be used, as cannabinoids cannot be patented as it’s natural compound from cannabis.

    As a result, instead of using an effective, safe, and cheap treatment for cancer, we instead use an expensive dangerous treatment for cancer.

    Why dont you move to Canada? Please take the american fascist medical monopoly system with you… The Canadians will know what do with it… Put it in the fucking garbage and **** on it…
    The American healthcare system is a systemic looting operation set up by the Rockefeller criminal syndicate 90 years ago.. No natural therapies or homeopathic cures are allowed .. Only toxic petrochemical allopathic poisons.. the health insurance scam is in fact a tax on the American people
