Subject: The Greatest President In My Lifetime
From: at (CRUSH THE LEFT) Date: 6/5/2004 8:12 PM Central Daylight Time Message-id: Ronald Reagan. The man who defeated Soviet Communism (no wonder liberals hate him). May he rest in peace. So long, Sir. We will continue your fight against the marxist left. And we will win. The Russians defeated themselves dimwit! They militarily spent their country into oblivion. We don't have to win anything. That part of the cold war is over. Do you ever read a newspaper? I thought not. Les |

Poland was the first to fall, followed shortly by E. Germany.. both because the people there developed the intestinal fortitude to stand up against their oppressive governments. |

That's great... but there were indeed underlying reasons why they were able to do so! Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

RE fall of Soviet Union..
- Thought what he ( or someone behind him did) was to propose a " Starwars" missle defense system, and start work on it Thinking it was aboout " First Strike" The Russians started working to defend against it.. only It was a huge hoax ! - No real program, just dummy blueprints, hiring people to work in it's outlines and press releases. Wounded & weakened from 10 years in Afghanistan, ( note ) The soviets spent themselves into oblivion rearming against the Starwars Hoax .... And the really big secret was WHAT A MESS the Soviet Union really was...

You are wrong about this. Reagan's action were the reason. He had the vision and the will to make this happen. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Go back and take a look at history, Telamon. Eastern Europeans have a history of
standing up to the Russians. Budapest in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 come to mind and it was a shame that the USA decided to abandon those countries and do nothing. The Solidarity revolution was a Polish revolution which had NOTHING AT ALL to do with Reagan or the USA. Brenda Ann quite rightly pointed out that the Poles and the East Germans stood up to the Russians of their own accord. Poland, out of all the Eastern European block, has always had the stones to fight back a little and retain some measure of autonomy. I've always liked Reagan but he sure as hell didn't have anything to do with the Solidarity revolution.

Besides Reagan gave aid and assistance to the Solidarity union and other opposition groups in eastern europe. Neither you nor anyone else can pull this revisionist bull**** on me.

Every president since Truman contributed to the ultimate collapse of the USSR. Reagan happened to be president when the end came. How can you say that I saw what I wanted to see? No one knew how things were going to turn out. Stinking Liberals were calling Reagan an out of control cowboy "Ronald Ray Guns" because they though he would start WW3 confronting the Russians. Reagan built up the military and forced the Russians into bankruptcy trying to keep up. The eastern europeans saw their chance to throw off the yoke of communism with the Russians in their weakened state. Reagan didn't just "happen to be there." He had a sense of destiny and a job to do that took guts facing down the Russians and the left wing in this country like Kerry that just wanted to give up and negotiate with the Russians from a weak position. You are right that it did not start with Reagan but he did finnish it. If Kennedy was not assassinated he might have done it but Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter didn't do it. Clinton would not have done it either. Through will and conviction he challenged the Russians forcing them to focus on us in the arms race. It was world class poker game and Reagan didn't bluff. The Russians finally ran out of money with a economy that could not keep up with ours. Weakened from the effort they gave up the hold they had on eastern europe since WW2 and the cold war was basically ended. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Besides Reagan gave aid and assistance to the Solidarity union and other opposition groups in eastern europe. Actually the funny thing is that both of you are right. CIA with help of Vaticano bank did sepnt enormous sum of money in order to help Solidarity. However, nobody has any idea what happened to this money. Solidarity leaders usually say that they never received any real help, and there is BIG suspicion that most of that help disappeared during the operation and only tiny sum finally reached people needing it. Saying that, i must say that many in Poland are now honouring the president Reagan. Not that he singlehandly won Cold War (the pope + Lech Walesa and few other people could disagree) but he was on the greatest factors in speeding the USSR collapse. |
