Thirty years ago today Reagan

What are you saying Frank? We cannot trust Islam?

Still none of it is responsible the obvious cover up of Benghazi.

This thread is an attempt to justify Obamas actions by saying Republicans didn't go after Reagan. It doesn't.

If it was so horrible then why didn't the Dem led House and Senate do something about Reagan. No party is going to go after their own leader and you know it, if you think it will happen then you are living a pipe dream.

Hell the Dems are even having a hard time acknowledging that the Healthcare website is screwed up and that Obama, "misspoke"/lied when he said people could keep their insurance if they were happy with it.

Hypocrisy does not come from grass roots. It is calculated by community organizers, where have you been?

Missed that part Frank. Wasn't concerned with your exchanges with others in the thread.

Thirty years ago today, Americans were devastated by the news of a massive terrorist attack in Lebanon that killed 241 American servicemembers.

U.S. Drowns Its Opponents in Blood

Whenever the colonial subjects of the U.S. fought back, the U.S. drowned them in blood. As Mark Twain commented on the Philippine war:

We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining ten millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket; we have acquired property in the three hundred concubines and other slaves of our business partner, the Sultan of Sulu, and hoisted our protecting flag over that swag.

And so, by these Providences of God--and the phrase is the government's, not mine--we are a World Power.

In the 1900-1903 war to conquer the Philippines, the U.S. killed more than 1 million people. In the midst of that war, U.S. Army General Shefter said: "It may be necessary to kill half of the Filipinos in order that the remaining half of the population may be advanced to a higher plane of life than their present semi-barbarous state affords."

Yet the real barbarians are the generals and politicians who run the U.S. military machine. The U.S. is still the only country to use the ultimate weapon of genocide--the atomic bomb. Another horrific example of the destruction the U.S. is prepared to wreak took place during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. By the time the U.S. was finally forced to withdraw in 1975, much of the country had been saturated with chemical weapons, and the war had claimed two million Vietnamese and Cambodian lives.
