That may have been more a slight towards Carter than a fear of Reagan.
I said 'may'.
I thought Reagan was the best neighbour we ever had. It was his
foreign policy that appealed to me.
His relationship with Gorbachev ....no wait... he was appeasing?
Well, anyway, Reagan wasn't a right-wing nutjob. One can be
conservative without having one's head up one's ass.

A lot of Depression-era folks have been life-long Democrats because they
perceived FDR as the country's savior. I personally don't like FDR's
policies that led to massive expansion of the federal government, but at
least compared to today's crop FDR had some big brass cojones. Today's
Democrats don't realize that in the current political climate as
compared to by the 1940's and 50's, FDR would probably be a Republican
today (probably JFK too), and a half century ago today's Democrats would
have been considered socialists if not Communists.

Dear Mr. Dawg,
I am curious, what is the "democrat party"? Who are they and where do
they (the "wimps,
whiners, hippies and pinko mama's boys") hang out? I know Republican
and Democratic party members who are for the most part hard working,
patriotic Americans. Two people I have alot of respect for are my
father and uncle. One is a Republican and one is a Democrat. Both
served overseas in WW II.
Respectfully,
Bob

Bush undermined the next president of the US's authority. Made him
look bad in front of a foreign nation's TV cameras.
When Obama sit the Iranians down for a chat, he will have the same
hammer in his back pocket as Bush likes to wield with bravado.
The difference is that he won't start off his dialogue with threats
and being an asshole, but the Iranians will know that hammer still
exists.
People that liken Obama's approach to Chamberlain's don't know
anything about history.
It's called diplomacy, not gun-boat diplomacy.
I guess you have lost sight of the old adage which runs: 'Speak softly
and carry and big stick; you will go far.'
But hey, if you can't win any other way, how about a glass parking
lot?
Next time you read your bible, Mark, don't skip over the important
parts.

Do you really believe that Bush isn't bothered by the prospect that a
black man is about to take his job and do it right?
Do you really believe that Hillary can reconcile in her mind that
she's losing to a black man?
If you believe that, than everybody's come a long way, and I
congratulate you.

Welllll, the Iranian's were not too impressed with diplomacy then they kid

It's OK for the Speaker of the House and other government officials not

Carter to meet with terrorists and leaders of terror-supporting countries
and to criticize their country from foreign lands, but this was somehow
wrong.
I truly fear for our country.

Yeah, walking out of Reykajavik (sp?) was appeasing. "The bombing starts
in 10 minutes" (Oh how the lib media went ape over that line -- it was a
joy to behold) was appeasement? "Mr. Gorbachav, tear down this wall!" was
appeasement? Star wars was appeasement? "Trust but verify" was
appeasement? It's easy to see why you don't see the historical perspective
of Chamberlain -- you don't even get the historical perspective and
approach of Reagan's policies vs. the "sit down and talk" approach of
Obama.

How? By warning against the policies of appeasement and pointing to the
historical record as to how appeasement NEVER works?
Yet, it's OK for the Speaker of the House, House and Senate leadership,
the former President (choke) Carter to sit down with terrorists and
terrorist supporters and undermine the policies of the sitting president of
the US? You really think that kind of thing helps solve problems and leads
to peace?

dared to pass himself off as a staunch defender of peace and freedom
in the world, as well as the reigning champion of political freedom
and womens rights. According to the AP, he assumed a decidedly
tougher tone, when making the following claims:

By then the Iranians were defending against the Iraqi invasion and
realized that the hostages were a big impediment to receiving help
from abroad. They were nearly as anxious to end the situation as
Carter. The change of administration allowed them the opportunity
to do so wile claiming they had 'won' their confrontation with Carter.

No, but Obama and Pelosi have. Their taking offense suggests that they

When I was a kid, Obama would have been known as a mullato, but NBD.
