…ee with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of the gun”. All Americans need to be reminded of that statement in November. It also might be appropriate to remind them of the words spoken by President Ronald Reagan – “The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom……We’re still Jefferson’s children.

… numerous acts of terror. While it may be hoped that such a magnanimous trade will spark gratitude and prompt a new round of peace talks, I can’t escape the thought that Israel just made kidnapping a very profitable activity. Ronald Reagan in 1986 at the height of the "arms for hostages" scandal The United States had a serious problem with jihadi kidnapping in the 1980’s. Several diplomats, who in civilized countries would have been sac…

…controversial sections of the document. There are many people who believe that it is the primary cause of the Civil War: i.e. did the states, not the Federal Government have the right to determine whether to be slave or free? Ronald Reagan believed in the amendment more than anything else, as did Thomas Jefferson. It simply states in its entirety: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the Stat…

… necessary, but it seemed as though there was little to no effort made at all by the actors to at least sound a little more like the real people they were portraying and less like themselves. The story opens on a head shot of Ronald Reagan. It is news footage of a speech he gives on deregulation. Credits play as we see an image of Clinton signing a piece of legislation as the audio of newsmakers make mention that this is Congress’ bill being si…

In 1980, George H.W. Bush was making the same argument against Ronald Reagan that Mitt Romney is making this year. Bush argued that he was the most electable against Jimmy Carter. The big money Republican establishment was behind Bush because they feared that Reagan was too radical to win, and would carry the entire party down to historic defeat, like Goldwater did. Reagan even lost Iowa to Bush on that argument. But Reagan carried forward the p…

The year was 1980. The President was Jimmy Carter. Under Carter’s leadership, the United States was experiencing stagflation, high unemployment, an energy crisis was brewing, and the Iran hostage crisis was in full effect. While he began his term with a 66% approval rating, it had dropped to 34% (with 55% disapproving). It was also an election year… and Ronald Reagan was Carter’s opponent. On November 4, 1980, Reagan took 44 states and won …

But one thing we can all be sure of is that time changes things…while the Soviet Union is no more you can be sure Russia is still trying to claw its way back as a functioning world power. But like I said times change and in today’s times the “Evil Empire” refers to the “Dynamic Duo” of evil; Iran and North Korea. Despite numer…
