    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    My bad. It was 456.5 billion in 1987 compared to 325.1 billion in 1980. Procurement budget went up to 147.3 billion from 71.2 billion in 1980. Reagan procured many programs developed under Nixon and Ford. Carter era Stealth? The stealth program was Reagan's. Carter was merely informed about...

    I figure he'll end up like Ceaucescu. Captured and executed after speedy trial. Or he'll fly to his loved peasant dictator Chavez or the Black Hitler Mugabe.

    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    It did for the '80s. The M1 and Brit Challenger 1 were superior in quality to anything the Soviets or it's WP allies had. Since we didn't have massive number of tanks we relied heavily on anti tank weaponry like the A-10, Apache or Cobra gunships, TOW missile, as well as tank ******* devices...

    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    Yes in 1981 the military defense budget is doubled. The B-1 bomber is put back on track. R&D into the neutron bomb is authorized and work for a 600 ship Navy begins. That's roaring ahead. Btw the Soviets had strategists who believed a nuclear exchange was winnable. Oh girk1 the Navy...

    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    No Mega the Cold War was won in the '80s. The military was behind the curve in the '80s and tried to catch up to our "offensive threat" which they never managed to do by the time the game was up in 1989. Reagan's military program roared ahead as early as '81 and caught the Soviets off guard. As...

    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    Yeah but he sped up it's demise. If you were of age back then the specter of nuclear war was very real. I lived in an area surrounded by military bases which were priority targets, so having a Pres who ended the Cold War earlier rather than later was all that mattered.

    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    To deny that Reagan's policies helped speed up the demise of the SU is foolhardy and partisan. He was a key player. For those like myself who were of age back then nobody stands out like Reagan when it came to winning the Cold War. Yes the Soviets spent money they could not afford to spend...

    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    The Soviets infantry and paras were still fighting in '88 and '89. The withdrawal was accomplished in Feb. '89. Nobody in 1986 had any crystal ball to see when the Soviets would be out of Afghanistan.

    Flashback: Reagan on Unions...

    The Afghans refused to take part in missions because of the Stinger threat so yes that's psychological. The Soviet pullout had not even occurred in '86 so who was "already retreating"? Stop grabbing at straws Malay. You weren't even of age in the '80s.

    The Soviet economy grew 1970-1980. 1970-1975 it went up 3%. From 1975-1980 it was up 1.5%. In Reagans first term it was less than 1%. You couple that along with 1/3 of their GNP dedicated to the military establishment, propping up pro Communist regimes throughout the world including it's...

    No Reagan's defense projects ****** the SU to spend. Giving the Mujas Stingers also helped ***** the SU out of an war it couldn't afford to fight. Reagan's defense programs simply beat the Soviets at their own game. As for the Poles they never took to Communism. They had riots up in Gdansk...

    Reagan's policies basically shut down the Soviet Union and the WP. He ****** the SU to spend vast resources it could not afford to keep up with our military innovations he implemented.

    I love how these Unionistas think they can have a freakin balanced state budget with their idiocy. Shrink state government, dump the unions, lower taxes, increase incentives for businesses to stay.

    Unions are outdated and exist only to enrich themselves. Plenty of states doing without them and they're doing fine. WI needs to **** up. Here in Ohio the unions have only shot themselves in the foot.

    Lara Logan Hospitalized After Assault and **** in Cairo, Egypt

    She was *****. CBS fessed up that she was "assaulted" but didn't want to go into details for PC reasons or to taint the image of Arab males. Too bad, as Lara Logan probably thought CBS had her back...........guess not.

    She was "assaulted" (read *****) for 30 minutes by a bunch of apes who yelled "Jew, Jew Jew" as they perpetrated their vicious act. CBS refused to put the story on air because they didn't want to taint the image of the "revolution". http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=208754

    I've seen white ******* with bi-racial (half black/half white) ****. Most of the time the ******'s are alone. So it's unknown whether the BF or husband is working (and can't take time off work to be with her) or incarcerated.

    Either the West gets the blame or the Juice. Islamists will destroy themselves eventually, unfortunately a lot of innocent people will die because of their expansionist, violent, chauvinist ideology. Hopefully Israel in the meantime doubles it's military expenditures and leave nothing to chance...

    I knew a girl who did "duck lips" with a pair of Pringles in her mouth. That was in 1981. All these chicks will get collagen crap so their lips can look just like Jenna Jameson's horrid pair.

    Man this country has ageism ingrained in it's culture. We're such a throwaway nation where something is old after a few months let alone 30+ years. At 40 everyone becomes "old" and at 45+ you should be looking for burial plots. Jeez. Guess the whole satisfaction is knowing all the ageists in...

    The US didn't create Mubarak any more than we created Sadat. It's all leftist bs.
