REMEMBER THIS GUY?

I didn't realize just how much he's missed, until I read and remembered some of the stuff he said... And stood

'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'- Ronald Reagan

'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' - Ronald Reagan


'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.' - Ronald Reagan

'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. Was too strong.'
- Ronald Reagan

'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.' - Ronald Reagan


'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'
- Ronald Reagan


'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.'
- Ronald Reagan


'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.' - Ronald Reagan


'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.'

- Ronald Reagan


'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.' - Ronald Reagan


'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.'

- Ronald Reagan

He was a charasmatic and good teleprompter reader.
He was an actor aka professional liar.

He rarely used the teleprompter and was widely admired for his ability to memorize his speeches (likely due to his acting skills) Being an actor does not make you a liar. Reagan was one of the best and last of a particular era that once allowed a dignity to the office of president. He certainly had and commanded the respect of a great many world leaders.
 
Obama would be lost without his teleprompter.

Reagan was great, wasn't he?

It really is difficult to pick out one special quote but, after much deliberation, i'll go with this one.

"A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that is true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."

You have to admire a man of principles who would seek to save America by exporting arms to an embargoed state in return for much needed dirty money to fund drug-trafficking terrorist groups in Latin America. And he didn't even require a teleprompter.

Always one of my favorites too.

And just like that, the mastabatory hero worship comes to a halt.

Suddenly no one wants to talk about Reagan anymore??

Good intentions gone bad. Every leaders tenure has had this experience. Reagan will always be beloved. That he will always have a few detractors is also a part of a leaders legacy.
 
Here are a few more gems.

During a 1983 Congressional Medal of Honor ceremony Reagan told a story about military heroism that New York Daily News columnist Lars-Erik Nelson wrote never happened. Nelson had checked the citations on all 434 Congressional Medals of Honor awarded during WWII. The scene Reagan described did appear, however, in the 1944 film A Wing and a Prayer. Larry Speakes’ response? “If you tell the same story five times, it’s true.”

"Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do,”

He stated that sulphur dioxide emitted from Mount St. Helens was greater than that emitted by cars over a 10-year period.

I've heard the same thing said about Stalin.

Really, I've never heard that DyaDya Dzho had any altruistic concerns at all. Some of the teachers from my Russian classes used to tell me stories about Uncle Joe....

And the comparison is pretty incredible as well.

I'd also note your post had a fundamental lack of tentacle rape scenes.

In short, the suspense of disbelief was never set properly by the director and the film largely failed to keep your attention. I'd give it a thumbs down.
