In reply to the discussion: Remembering Reagan [View all]rivegauche
(601 posts)79. Sickening! Gawd what a stupid nation we are.
I remember Reagan vividly, I was pretty young but appalled by him & his gang of bigoted, stupid chickenhawks on a daily basis. It seems to me the culture of American aggression reached its zentih under Reagan. Those 12 (Reagan plus Bush Daddy) years are a huge reason the rest of the world held us in a very low opinion. And Dubya was the final expelled turd of that era.
