“You made this possible—you courageously let things happen"

And then there's Ronald Wilson Reagan, who courageously made things happen. Some of us still have the courage to remember that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all remember how the hippies and the lefties courageously spent the entire eight years of Reagan's presidency warning anyone who'd listen that Armageddon was imminent and all but inevitable.

It's always the same circle jerk with you excitable ninnies - - "We opposed this, we opposed that, we had the bumper stickers, we had the most clever slogans, we saved the world !!!"

That's right. It was Reagan who was behind Tito's break with Moscow. It was Reagan who was responsible for inspiring Hungarian "goulash communism." It was Reagan who founded the Polish Solidarity movement and the fostered the writers of the Czech underground, even though he didn't know where "Czech" was.

Most of all, I thank Ronald Reagan for helping to elect John Paul II as the pope.

Next to all of his heroics in those war movies, these are his greatest accomplishments.

What's so particularly courageous about remembering Reagan? Is it because the scale is so defined downwards for conservatives?

GDANSK, Poland--When talking about Ronald Reagan, I have to be personal. We in Poland took him so personally. Why? Because we owe him our liberty. This can't be said often enough by people who lived under oppression for half a century, until communism fell in 1989.

If this isn't historical revision then nothing is. The fall of the berlin wall, end of the USSR enslaving a good portion of the entire globe is due more to Regan then any USSR dictator ever.

Mentioning this and not saying anything about Regan is like talking about WWII and omitting the fact that America was one of the powers in the war.
