The truth doesn't denigrate. I was there at the time to see that
shift in
European thinking. And, by leaving this country not long before
Reagan took office and returning not long after he left, I was also
able to more clearly see what eight years of his presidency had done
to this country. I returned to see homeless people in the streets of
even small towns (something I had rarely seen outside the larger
cities before), violent crime like I had never seen before, stagnated
wages for workers (most were earning no more than when I left),
sharply increased prices for most everything, shocking corporate
greed, jobs moving overseas, a growing immigration problem, a
declining military, declining political freedoms, a country growing
more politically divided then I had ever seen it before in my
lifetime, and so on. In my opinion, anyone who actually thinks Reagan
was good for this country doesn't really give a damn about this
country. The same could probably be said of Bush Sr, Clinton, and
Bush Jr. Each have taken this country to a new low.


I can only agree with your first sentence "The truth doesn't
denigrate."

Unfortunately for you and your last post that you sniped the contents
of the world leaders of that time and current time do not agree with
what you call truth.

My best guess as to why you don't try to defend your last post because
it is indefensible and that this post is just a continuation of a
baseless rant.

Again as with the last post by you I would argue that except for a very
small group of far left wing looneys you are pretty much by yourself.

Don't forget the second election of Reagan for president carried 48 out
of 50 states. Don't forget the massive outpouring of affection for this
man upon his death. Don't forget most of what you pose as factual is
just BS.
