This is the biggest crock of shit thrown out today. I didn't think it was possible after kwame's debacle on lobbyist.

Hmmm...
Link!Last year also marked a major milestone for the Reagans - a milestone void of celebration. March 4, 2002, was the couple's 50th wedding anniversary.
What did Nancy do that day? "Nothing," she says. "And how I'd love to be able to talk to him about it. And there were times when I had to catch myself, because I'd reach out and start to say, 'Honey, remember when …'"
She's not sure if her husband still knows her. But she says she is comforted by the letters President Reagan wrote to her over the years - letters that bring her husband back to her.

In 1994 he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, so he had been ill for quite some time prior to 2002, which was only two years before he died. At that point my grandmother didn't recognize her own daughter (my mother as an adult) or me. She seemed lucid at times and talked at length about what she had done that day, unfortunately she was talking about what she had seen on tv. She thought that the stuff on that day's General Hospital had happened to her. She didn't know who I was at all and talked to my mom about her having done things that day that she did as a child, all the while never realizing she was talking TO her, even though my mom visited her frequently. It wasn't long after that she laid in bed and played with dolls all day, no longer able to speak. It's a BAD way for a person to go."Don't want 'em to get you goat, don't show 'em where it's hid." - David Lee RothComment

I know... my mom's best friend recently died of it. Last time she visited her, mom said when whe walked in the room her friend had NO clue who she was - they'd known each other for 50 years - and a few minutes into her visit, she said the woman snapped to attention, called her by name, was suddenly nearly normal and - realizing her moment of clarity was not going to last, said "Quick, tell me what's going on!" but was gone again a few moments later.
My mother is a devout Catholic, does NOT believe in suicide, but indicated she'd consider it if ever she found herself about to be in that predicament.
Still, that kinda sounds WAY too well-thought out to be that late in his life...Originally posted by conmee

Yeah, I'm agreeing with the consensus on this one.........Ronnie wouldn't of been that lucid.
Although it was released from his library.......it would stand to reason that it was authenticated as his writing.

The impression I always got of Reagan was, that, he seemed to be more about fucking with the Soviets, and spurring Economic Growth, and just happened to use the "Moral Majority" as a major voting block.
One thing I'm kind of curious about, was whether or not, Ron Reagan voted for his dad in 80 and 84? That's got to be an interesting corundum.Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment

The fact that it came from the Reagan Library lends these statements credibility. Sounds like lucid thoughts to me and the stuff about gw is pretty revealing. Man thank god that shit is over!gnaw on itComment

Massively simplistic attitude. He may have used asshole-macho rhetoric early on, but in fact Reagan was jarred by watching "The Day After" and the intelligence fallout over the "Able Danger" incident that nearly triggered a nuclear war in 1983. He was in fact a big proponent of Arms Cuntrol™ later on in his Presidency...Comment

President Ronald Reagan watched the film several days before its screening, on 5 November 1983.[5] He wrote in his diary that the film was "very effective and left me greatly depressed,"[5] and that it changed his mind on the prevailing policy on a "nuclear war".[6] The film was also screened for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A government advisor who attended the screening, a friend of Meyer's, told him "If you wanted to draw blood, you did it. Those guys sat there like they were turned to stone."[5] Three years later, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed at Reykjavik, and in Reagan's memoirs he drew a direct line from the film to the signing.[
If Reagan had thought about it more, the very fact that he'd be the one for all eternity that would have ended humanity as we know it would have been kind of jarring, whether you think agree or like him or not.
By the way, speaking of nuclear exchanges, amazing how convinced the rest of the world was that Reagan, was about to go Nuclear. At 3:12, this Chaplin from Calgary gave a pretty interesting (and frigtening) look at that.

But how can anyone never mind a president NEED to be jarred?
Are you defending someone who had a policy of a limited nuclear war with Russia?
His first term nearly got us all killed and the alzheimers kicked in on the second.
You only need to watch a celebrity edition of any quiz show to see the intelligence of the average actor...Last edited by Seshmeister; 03-29-2012, 04:56 AM.Comment

The limited nuclear war madness could explain the development of infiltrator nuclear bombers like the B1. To be honest I thought it was just the industrial war complex spending more money because they could. I never got the concept of the B1 since missiles made bombers obsolete. Did they actually think they could infiltrate and get enough stealth first strikes to avoid retaliation?
We had a hell of a time finding the mobile SCUD missile launchers in the Gulf War.
Oh yeah and the Star Wars program. I remember Reagan talking about that with the cheesey video graphics. Maybe that is why I had one hell of a good time in the 80's. Some fuckwit was going to do us in so strike when the iron is hot and live it up. Glad I did. People have forgotten to have fun.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
