Another entry to the list of "why the hell did mike naso post this?" threads.

Can anyone think of any threads Naso has posted which don't fall into this catagory?

Good point.

I find it ironic that someone who is anti-nuke woudl attack the only president since the invention of the bomb who serious talked about nuclear reductions treaties, as opposed to the nuclear limitations treaties which did nothing but limit how many more times the two superpowers could increase their ability to destroy all life on Earth.

Of course, the liberals will never give Reagan a fair shake and he will always be nothing more than a warmongering actor.

Well, there was the whole "evil empire" thing... there's more than just nuclear weapons.

The Soviet Union was an evil Empire.  But Reagan was willing to talk to a Soviet leader who was really willing to listen.

People think things were so much better after Stalin... well, when you compare it to that....

It was still an utterly totalitarian state, people might not have been getting gunned down every day, but desenters were declared "insane" and sent to metal institutions.  Homeless people still taken away by black vans and never seen again.  Unions were still forbiden.

In... I bleive it was Romania, the government wouldn't turn on the natural gas lines until the temperature fell below 40 degrees F, or there abouts... guess what, it was 40 degrees every day, no matter how cold it was.

I'm just saying, there are other reasons why liberals didn't like Reagan.  If you're going to talk about "the liberals" in ominous or spiteful tones, you at least owe it to yourself to fairly represent the varied opinions of the members of that group.  You're better than talking about a group including millions as if it were some homogeneous Borg variant.
