The Most Significant Foreign Policy Decision In My Lifetime

Yup!

That too

All their hot air about how tough Putin is and China the New Threat and Merkel the new Iron Lady and Cameron a true conservative who " gets it "...

And O is at fault and an idiot for doing this deal all by his lil' 'ol lonesome


It really looks a whole helluva lot more like it is ' ol Ben got the not-quite-right bent over the desk squealin'...
 
Funny, I would think the greatest travesty would be when 'all' unions did not strike or honor PATCO picket lines.
Of course 'Da Unions' relished in the defeat of PATCO as it was not a 'real union'.
Sound familiar?
Get used to it.
 
B) xUT
 
And how many sham bankruptcies?

The furniture store scam writ large

Enrich oneself at everyone and I mean everyone's expense

But we're going to hear all about how we need a successful businessman


Have at it gop, get Hil elected...

For more years of liberal court appointments

You overlooked this little tidbit:
 
"It sent a message not only across America, it sent a message around the world," Walker said. America's allies and foes alike became convinced that Reagan was serious enough to take action and that "we weren't to be messed with," he said.
 
Only an ignorant fool would think that the Soviet leadership at the time would give a rats ass what Reagan did with PATCO.  Scott Walker must be unaware that the Soviet leadership at the time survived life under Stalin.  How did these Communist Party bosses survive under Uncle Joe?  By being ruthless SOB's who would not bat an eye about sending their fellow citizens to the gulag.  Or putting a bullet in their head.
 
So if it did register on their radar they probably wondered why he didn't have them all sent to Siberia.

Yep. Taken out of context, they're trying to make Walker look dumb. Too bad that the full quote makes complete sense, in that Reagan wasn't afraid of the unions (who at the time had real power in the electorate), so why would he be afraid of Gorbie or the USSR, (who was just a few years short of total economic and political collapse)?
 
Yeah I'm sure he had much more reason to fear a union than a country with the ability to unleash nuclear annihilation on us.  🙄  🙄  🙄
 
Maybe this might dispel some of the John Wayne fantasies people have about Reagan.

They must have blinked when the wall came down then under that pussified stooge Reagan.

Scott Walkers comments on Reagan firing the striking PATCO workers and the Soviet Union just shows his ignorance and the ignorance of any one who would believe it.

I see a lot of dickheads pouncing on misspeak.

I do have to give him credit.  He has managed to convince quite a few people that all you have to do to fix this countries problems is break unions, cut funding for higher education, planned parenthood and food stamps.  Of course anyone with half a brain knows that none of those things crashed the economy in 2008 nor are they the reason for the current debt.
