Ron Paul Deceived. BucEyedPea Believed. (The Fabricated Reagan Quote)
I mentioned this in an earlier thread, but I wanted to create a separate thread where BucEyedPea can feel free to admit that Ron Paul was wrong or argue endlessly with me about it if she's still in denial without hijacking another thread.
In July of 2006, Ron Paul got up in front of the House of Representatives to speak in opposition to a resolution condemning Hezbollah's attack against Israel. In his statement, he quoted Ronald Reagan to bolster his case. I should say he "mis-quoted" Reagan though, because as it turns out the quote was FABRICATED. Since then, BucEyedPea has repeatedly referenced that quote here on the pages of ChiefsPlanet. At last count, I've seen her reference it no less than 16 times. What's with these appeasement conservatives and their need to pretend that Ronald Reagan would have approved of their misguided, neo-isolationist message? See my next two posts for the details. |

You can just google "Ronald Reagan 49" if you can't stand the suspense.

Colossal failure as in what it bred. Sure, he got the quick victory but the Afghanistan of today is due in large part to his policy.

The Afghanistan of today isn't much different than the Afghanistan of Jimmy Carter's day (with NATO troops there instead of Soviet troops). In between Carter and Obama, Reagan defeated a superpower. Your take would be mind bogglingly off base if you were someone who considered the Americans to be the good guys.

That passage gives Reagan absolutely no credit for the fact that the Soviets were stuck in Afghanistan for 9 years. FAIL
I don't think Reagan did it single-handedly. He had a lot of help from Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II among other allies and supporters, but he was a key leader of the West when the West broke the Soviets.
