I love the press and historians, they think that the normal everyday person can not write the history of what they lived. Only after successor generations get far away from the event can the intellectuals manipulate the truth of the event(s). I am glad my grandfather http://www.redstate.com/dontreadonme/2009/05/25/save-the-ship-that-would-not-die-uss-laffey-dd-724/ has been filmed about his experiences against the Kamikazes in WWII, because no-one can say that we haven't experienced religious suicide bombers before. Last I checked we crushed/victorious over them. Leopard, I am just astounded how clearly history spells that out.

I recall the obvious shock in the press that all their efforts to brand Reagan an affable dunce racist, the Reagan years an orgy of greed and the fall of communism as inevitable had failed when they saw the massive outpouring of love from the overwhelming majority of Americans for their fallen hero.

That era was truly the most free Americans had felt in a long time and certainly freer than anything we have now. It didn’t fit with the liberal ideology of control.

Everyone should know that the wall was built by the East Germans/Soviets to prevent the propaganda fodder which was the shot East German fleeing to the West. Just ask "Little" Berlin who built the wall. Next we will hear that the Nazi's were put into power by the Americans. I am astounded.

When that wall came down, I was in High School, and at that time was very hopeful that we no longer had to look for a nuclear holocaust, and that freedom actually beat out tyranny.

Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.

The audience heard a man speak and say something even after being warned by some of his senior advisers that the language was “unpresidential”. Earlier in 1982 President Reagan said…

What I am describing now is a plan and a hope for the long term—the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history.
