I am currently re-reading Nixon's last book "Beyond Peace" published in 1994, the year of his death. It's interesting because of his views pre-9/11, but more importantly the last part of the book is remarkable ...rto

Are we entering an all anti-Reagan all the time interval, leading up to his birthday in February, do you think?

I guess you're right, liberal federal bureaucrats is most likely redundant... and repetitious. lol

Nixon Called Reagan 'Strange'

No, Clinton was strange.

The Left just pretends to respect a past Republican president so they can use him to bash a current one. By 2030, the Dems will be saying George W. Bush thought the current Republican in office was weird.

The draft age was 18 back to Civil War times at least. The voting age was 21 back to the time of the Constitution's beginning.

I think the idea was one had to serve in the military to earn the full rights of citizenship. This concept went back as far as the Spartans and Ancient Romans.

Hmmmm...I wonder what Reagan said about Nixon...

The weapons came from Israel, you can say that we gave them the weapons only to give to Iran, but we give such an abundance of Money and weapons to Israel anyways that that would not be necessary. The Weapons did not go to the Terrorists, they were light anti-tank missiles that went to Iran. Iran had connections with Hizbollah and was able to release the hostages. We sold the weapons to Iran to prevent a Iraqi victory in the Iraq/Iran war, Iraq was a Soviet Client state with aims of conquering the entire middle east.

These transactions were legal.

There is no evidence to suggest that Oliver North was actively engaging in drug running operations. During the investigation, notebooks and recorded messages of Oliver North suggest that North came under information that certian elements of the Contras were engaging in drug smuggling, and did not pass the information to the DEA.

This could be construed as failing to report a crime, or an acommplice after the fact, but to put it into context, Oliver North was try to save the world from Communism, if you forgot.

If the actions taken were so illegal, why did the critics hide behind the Boland Ammedment, which only stipulates funding from the U.S. treasury?

the "Hist Report" brings up no link about Iran Contra or Oliver North on Google. Perhaps you have a link?

The Hollywood Facist Left mourn the loss of power of Daniel Ortega and his gang of thugs.

I think the law was changed because the Supreme Court held that you could not draft a citizen without giving him the right to vote for those who were sending him to war. Not an unreasonable proposition, IMHO.

I didn't think so either, but apparently he did. This site describes it as half-hearted.
