Our President made another horrifyingly evil partisan speech this week. There's so much material in this turd, that I barely know where to begin. But I'll try:
"Together with a great President named Ronald Reagan, you championed a policy of rolling back communism oppression and bringing freedom to nations enslaved by communist tyranny. And by taking the side of dissidents, who [sic] helped millions across the world throw off the shackles of communism, you helped build the free and peaceful societies that are the true sources of stability and peace in the world.
And now we're at the start of a new century, and the same debate is once again unfolding -- this time regarding my policy in the Middle East. Once again, voices in Washington are arguing that the watchword of the policy should be "stability." And once again they're wrong. In Kabul, in Baghdad, in Beirut, and other cities across the broader Middle East, brave men and women are risking their lives every day for the same freedoms we enjoy. And like the citizens of Prague and Warsaw and Budapest in the century gone by, they are looking to the United States to stand up for them, speak out for them, and champion their cause. And we are doing just that. (Applause.) "
Here we have the wise analysis of the head of our government that we have elected twice to run the most powerful nation in the world. I can see where this message would be attractive the the fundamentalist audience at Heritage, which is pretty much the opposite of my world view. The problem is that the analysis is completely wrong. Radical Islam is NOTHING LIKE COMMUNISM!!!!! Nothing at all. Not even close.
Please vote these knuckleheads out of office. This just is not good for any of us.

The thing that burns me up is the legend that has become Reagan. Reagan's legacy to this country is not freedom from communism. It is what he did to the poor and mentally ill here.

Sorry, I hijacked your thoughts. I just really hate Reagan.
