He was also my Commander in Chief while I was in the Navy (Submarine Force). We were told in boot camp that we were not saluting the person, we were saluting the uniform. But with a man like Ronald Reagan, we would be saluting the person... with Let's Go Brandon... well, you can sadly get the idea.

John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan were both good presidents, but they're both overrated (at least somewhat) IMO. Not the most overrated though, I'd say-that distinction, as unpopular as my opinion would be, goes to John Adams.

He truly was the Great Communicator, because he was able to communicate to the American people how great we were and how great we could be. And he believed so completely that he made us believe it too. That is what made us and him so great. I miss him so much there are times it actually hurts my heart.

But sadly, our individual freedoms are slowly being taken away by president Obama. What I have learned from this man is that freedom is the best economic plan. And when government gets involved and taxes what we create and own, we lose more and more freedom.

I agree with that. never have I seen such media collusion with one candidate, to destroy and smear the other Trump was shown ZERO respect from the time he even announce his run to even his inauguration... it was nice to see he doesn't forget, it was nice to hear that he's going to war for the people, so far I have no reason to doubt the man will try his best. it's up to the GOP establishment: either they help to destroy Trump with the left and lose big league in 2018 and 2020 or they get on the fuckin train McCain, Graham, Ryan etc..

The decade of the 80s was a glorious time of transition. Mr. Reagan was a great president who commanded respect. The beginning of tech. MTV. The Walkman. VHS. The strength of the WW2 generation was still with us in heart and mind. Yet a new generation arose in their shadow. Music including electronic drums, synths, mixed with guitar. There were malls. There was no social media yet we talked to each other directly. It is more than nostalgia to say that it was a more cohesive time. Not that there weren’t differences but there was a cohesiveness that bound us. The media was less about making news as opposed to reporting on it. Yes, I miss those days. I wonder whether “advancements” in technology that created the illusion of closeness whilst we grew farther apart is to blame. Were we a people constrained by boundaries that forced cohesiveness in the 80s? Or has distance and divisiveness become an evolved choice as the world has advanced? I don’t know the answer but what i do think is that “simplicity” in our lives does not mean being backwards. David Mccullough once commented on modern hubris. That “modern” people believe themselves to be superior to those from our past. He acutely pointed out the flaw in such thinking. I agree.

***** That's not the point... he was pressured by the Democrats to do it! As much as you may hate Obama, at least he was the first president in American history to push for gay rights. Not like Reagan, who took 6+ years into his presidency to mention AIDS.

You're right, unemployment did go from 7.7 to 10.8 under Reagan's watch...during his first term, however, before the best of his policies were put into effect. After the peak of 10.8, the unemployment rate plummeted to 5.5% Real median family income increased $4,000 during the Reagan administration, as reported by the Cato Institute Policy Analysis. With plummeting inflation, that $4,000 was worth more. Here's the compromise in the debate. No matter what president, even the ones where the

私にとってレーガンはアメリカが誇るべき偉大な大統領だった。左翼に毅然と立ち向かい、貧富の差を公平な目で評価しようと努めた。彼が政権を執っていた時代、国民は政治が強靭でしっかりしていたので豊かに見えた。こういう時代が日本にあったのだろうか?それが羨ましかった。

I am not typically very interested in real-world goings on, especially in politics. But I swear to you that I was in goosebumps for most of this speech and nearly in tears as he spoke of the cost of our freedoms, the lives and sacrifices of the bravest men and women on this planet, our countries soldiers! And LONG before his speech concluded, the general apathy I feel towards the politicians of today and their constant mudslinging and less-than-honorble attempts to manipulate the hearts and minds of the American people SHOT THROUGH THE ROOF, BECOMING ABSOLUTE DISGUST! The free world needs more leaders just like this man.....
