Ronald Reagan was an arrogant, hypocritical, self-aggrandizing B movie actor with career decline who sold out to peddle GE corponomics to maintain a dubious celebrity. To maintain a modicum of equanimity, he early mastered the art of self-delusion in order to perform elementary grooming and hygiene rituals requiring looking into a mirror, eventually becoming the nation's foremost delusionary. He was a corporate tool who excelled at reading scripts prepared by economic, intellectual and social superiors, themselves achievers of minimal significance. His administration's most notable accomplishments were the callous murder and robbery of thousands of Latin and North Americans and the resucitation, nourishment and seconding of middling reactionary arms peddlers cum theorists later to become know as the Neocons, responsible for the 18 month "New American Century" and architects of the declining American empire's terminal phase. No one in their right mind mourned the passing of this grinning, monstrous lout.

Why is Truman great?
He took the Zionist bribe money in exchange for backing Israel in '48.. source Abba Eban biography,

he got us into a strategic dead end war in Korea....we are still there

and dropping atom bombs...not a good precedent.

You know it Anon my man. Fucking guy ended WW2, pulled Europe out with the Marshall plan. Saved the krauts in the Berlin airlift, ( personally I think he should have let the Russians take all of Berlin but what the hell ) And stoped the communists in Korea. But of course in your sick little mind recognizing Israel makes him what, the devil. Leaving aside the arms embargo that he kept on Israel who got most of their arms from the Czechs.

Instead of Reagan, could we talk about Gaza?

Yah Dave, we know the drill. The Jews are the odious satanic creatures that are puting the Palestinians, you know those peaceful gentle people under the yoke of oppression. yada, yada, yada, it's boring.

Yeah, like this grand experiment in starving people into submission is receiving SO much coverage in the American press.

I mean, can we stop HARPING on the most amazing example of collective punishment from a supposedly western nation I have seen in my lifetime!

Guess what asshole, Hamas has the right to wage war. But, they don't have a God given right to win. The idea that Israel is supposed to keep supplying electricity to an enemy controlled entity is a new one in the annals of warfare. The Rafah crosssing is in the hands of the Palestinians and Egypt. What the fuck is the problem.

Ah, calling someone an a-hole. Nice argument.

Israel has had these people in a cage for 40 years, Israel continues to take their land and force them to live on something like US$1000/year, which probably looks good right about now.

If you don't want to be responsible for them just open up their borders and let people go in and out freely. Declare unilateral piece.

A human people would institute a marshall plan for the Palestinians. Any group subjected to this treatment would act the same, if not worse.

Other countries face terrorism, such as Spai (or England in the past) and they do not act as inhumanely as Israel. Heck, Israel itself was committing terrorism just decades ago.

We are all getting to see how the self labeled Jewish state acts in the face of what really amounts to essentially no threat.

So far, the track record has been abysmal, particularly for a group so found of criticizing others in the past.

Ok, I'll take this slow Daveg because your not too bright. Israel has withdrawn from Gaza, Withdrawn. I'll grant you that the possible thriving export industry that they could have had they destroyed because that's what they do. The Gaza strip is now judenrein. And they are the largest per capita recipients of foreign aid in the world. And Israel is NOT at the Rafah border. And they seem to be able get weapons in there without a problem. No other country would supply power to a hostile entity, none.
