Contrast his statement to this: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Man, I miss my boss!
Yesterday Mark Levin mentioned Reagans Christmas address of 1981. Here’s an excerpt from Reagan regarding Soviet controlled Poland and the full text at link below.
“I want emphatically to state tonight that if the outrages in Poland do not cease, we cannot and will not conduct ``business as usual’’ with the perpetrators and those who aid and abet them.
