"I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain - I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president... I don't feel I owe anybody an explanation"

quoted by Bob Woodward, Bush at War.

I've been baptized by your voice.
it screams from deep beneath the cold black water.
and it's half as high as heaven,
and half as clear as reason.
it's cold and and black like silt on the riverbed,
and just as neverending.

Nope, the killing of both those men MADE Teddy the hero he is not. Actually if you study JFK he was not the paragon of Liberalisim (today's liberalisim) that you wish. He was more for the liberalisim of the 60's which is more tied to Reagan Republicanisim or Libertarianisim..

Buddah I love how you can use such trite charges.

Reagan libertarian---come on. The man spent three generations of taxes to build giant gov. to scare the already bankrupt USSR. The real problem is some believe it was he that caused the fall. Then his useless VP took over and did more. Now ,I hope we have the last of the big spenders.

Uncliff, will you please stop getting your history from the Washington Post and the NY Times (LOL). He rebuilt the military after JIMUH bent us over and held our arms while the third world raped us.
Even the SOVIET leaders admit that his arms race and the Strategic Defense Initiative pushed their economy to a point where it imploded. Now you can believe that "Gorby" saved us..but the truth that is very evident is Reagan did it. He CUT tax rates (granted Bush 41 blew it and raised them...hence the reason he was happily a one termer). If he blew the budget, why did he start the largest period of growth in American History?
As for cutting the government, when you know that the LARGEST majority of the Expenditures is ENTITLEMENTS...we know that the Politicians know that they can pay the myromidons to vote for them each year, by using OUR money to pay them.

when i picked out a bday card for my wife there were a bunch of cards slamming bush...i couldn't resist getting her one cause she's a hard and fast bush supporter...my favorites were

a picture of bush on the cover holding up 3 fingers and saying "On your birthday I have just 3 words." you open it and it says Happy Birthday

a cartoon of bush and chaney with bush saying "Did you know my birthday is June 4th?" Cheney, "Really, what year?" Bush, "Every year"

Billie was the only Carter worth a six pack, but I believe in the long run Reagan did more damage than even Carter did. Big is bad and big federal government is the worst thing that can happen. Those army kids half way around the world are just sitting ducks and have no reason for being there. Every president of this country since 'Sh$t'n'Bull' has increased the fed..

By what standards are you saying Reagan issued in the "start the largest period of growth in American History?"

A lot of the Reagan boom was a credit card boom. The US stimulated the economy on borrowed money fueling the trade deficit and generating huge interest payments on the skyrocketing debt.

I've given up debunking XL because it doesn't seem to matter. He doesn't acknowledge when he's wrong and has actually repeated the 'fact' that I debunked within a week of the debunking, but since pedxing started it...


The economic expansion under Reagan was 92 months.

It was 106 months under Kennedy-Johnson and 120 months under Clinton.

Not again! The man is truly an idiot:

I talk to a lot of families who have got a loved one in Iraq or Afghanistan, or anywhere else in this global war on terror, and they are in constant communication with their loved one. That's amazing, isn't it. You've got a kid in Iraq who is emailing mom daily, talking about the realities of what he or she sees. Information is moving -- you know, nightly news is one way, of course, but it's also moving through the blogosphere and through the Internets. It's amazing how many emails I see from people that are writing in what they think and what they hear.
