President Reagan never did the commie crap that you are trying to sell.

When scum tries to sell Reagan as equal to performing the despicable and ineffective acts of the communists then they need to be resisted.

Honestly, I think its open to debate which methods work better. While its comforting to believe that a “hearts and minds” approach works, there isn’t a lot of evidence for it. Maybe it will work in Iraq, but that is still to be decided. In either case, it needs to be backed up by force. You can say the carrot approach worked with Germany and Japan, but only after they had been exhausted militarily. Same thing with the American South after the Civil war. Sadly, most wars are won by bludgeoning the oppononent until they can’t take it anymore. Remember, the loser (not the winner) decides when a war is over.

You’re all confused. I said Ronald Reagan knew how to beat the Soviets. I never even implied that he did any kind of commie crap.

And if you are calling me scum....screw you.
