LEFT GOES APE OVER REAGAN 100TH

[soonercruiser]

Seems like the "Left" is going crazy over all the media coverage about Ronnie Reagan's 100th birthday celebration.

They and Obama are even somehow claiming Regan as their own!
I could have sworn he was conservative, and Repubican.
So, it would seem only fitting that conservatives would use attention given to Reagan for their own political purposes! Duh!
Ronnie Raygun sure as he11 wasn't a Demoncrat, liberal, or regressive, Andrea!



Andrea Mitchell: GOP ‘Trying to Appropriate Ronald Reagan’
In attempting to praise Ronald Reagan and his legacy, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell ruffled the feathers of conservative columnist Peggy Noonan on Meet the Press when Mitchell claimed Republicans are “trying to appropriate Ronald Reagan for their own political purposes now.”

I guess if you are Andrea Mitchell, it’s ok for Obama to appropriate Reagan for his own political purposes, but not for Republicans to do the same.

I wrote a 10 page paper on "Reaganomics" in my grad class in Forecasting and Budgeting. While I think the wacko at the OU Daily went overboard, the spending under Reagan started a trend that got the national debt out of hand. The Iran-Contra thing was definitely a black eye. He had some wins and some losses in international affairs. Trickle-down economics is good in theory....but the theory didn't exactly play out as hoped.

And actually, soonercruiser, Reagan was a known Democrat until he entered politics after his acting career. Interesting tidbit.

Many Conservatives are Liberals/Progressives that finally grew up and began dealing in reality.

[The Profit]

Hey, my fellow progressives (if there are any others in here), lay off of Reagan. He wasn't so bad. He doesn't deserve a spot on Mt. Rushmore or anything like that, but he did some great things while in office. He kept the price of oil down in the dirt to starve the Soviet Union (of course it starved Okies for a while, too), he brought back American confidence. He put huge smiles on the faces of the Military Industrial Complex (although military pay was not necessarily increased), and he managed to keep John Birchers from influencing his administration.

Unlike many of the nut jobs in that gaggle of contenders, who will seek the gop nomination for president, Reagan was a star. He was a leader for all Americans.

[ouwasp]

I like this Churchill quote:

"If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."

But I've been pretty much conservative my whole life. I know this... I was ashamed to have Carter as a president. President Reagan made me feel proud again. The argument could be made W has had the same "Carter Effect" on the young folks of today :O .

But, for all his faults, Ronald Reagan will always be special to me.

I like this Churchill quote:

"If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."A) Winston Churchill was a MP at 25 under the conservative party, and B) this turn of phrase was used well before him.

[C&CDean]

I always wondered how Churchill got credit for that one.

[ouwasp]

So what?

Like JFK never paraphrased anything?

[soonerscuba]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-"trickle up". Just noting that compared to what the Reagan administration thought would happen, it didn't really materialize as hoped.

And one thing that I love about Reagan is that he flipped parties. Most people grow up around a family that is either staunch Dem or staunch Pub, and they adopt it and stick with it their entire life. It gives me hope in humanity when a person can take a look at their current and past political alliances and re-evaluate their stance. I'll never fault someone for switching parties. It just shows that you are using your brain.

so, basically, if the "you don't know military" and "the military is realism" is all you got.....

Reagan increased military spending by a lot....so i applaud your appreciation of yourself less than your philosophy of the "good society".

Yes, I included the stereotypical college prof deal but you ****ing asked for it. Don't ask for it, and you won't get it. Seems pretty simple to me. Also, we ain't talking about your grandad or your pops here. We're talking about you lambasting Reagan for Grenada, not your dad.

I know a lot of ****birds who had great parents and grandparents, and vice versa. I don't even know what you're trying to say with that whole thing. And finally, a strong US military IS required for the "good society."

How bout this...my paternal grandfather flew B-25's in WWII...my maternal grandfather was a Navy cook in Rhode Island during WWII...my maternal grandmother was a Navy nurse at Bathesda during WWII (one of her patients was Cordell Hull)...my mother was an Air Force maintenance officer for 14 years...my father was Air Force maintenance enlisted/officer for 22 years...my older brother was Air Force maintenance enlisted for 6 years. NONE OF THAT gives me the right to start criticizing or gives me a platform to amply talk about military matters...what gives me, Dean, Olevet, Homey, Flag, etc. the credibility to discuss these issues is the fact that we decided to serve (or were drafted to serve in the case of some). For us, there has been no greater honor in our lives than to serve our nation...and it really chaps our asses when folks who quote family history, but have no REAL insight of their own, act like they have every right to come in and criticize what we have done/are doing for our country...and how others' decisions as C in C have affected our profession.

I am thinking I would have left out the part about gramps being a frigging cook. The part about grams taking care of Cordell Hull was cool, though.

[2121Sooner]

Reagan understood that if people and corporations had long term income, they would be more willing to spend it. That is why tax rates went from 70+ on corporations down to the 20's. They spent more on employees, etc which then gave the American people some dough to spend. Then the permanent tax reduction on Americans let them know they would have long term income and they spent.

Look at the short term tax breaks now. Are we spending that money? Heck no, people are saving it or paying off debt.

I've got no problem with you displaying the credibility that you have earned. I do have a problem with some who state that only vets are allowed to have opinions on military matters. It's unfair to simply dismiss someone because they have not served in the military. We don't do the same when we're talking about other public professions - police, fire, etc.

I understand that high taxes are a drag on the economy. I get that. However, we've seen an extreme widening of the gap between the super rich and the middle class and I believe it started in the Reagan years. I think we have gone a little too far.

One thing I really don't get is the capital gains tax rates. A lot of the very rich get almost all of their income via capital gains. These people pay a lower tax rate than you or I. It is an extremely regressive structure. This is not due to their sophisticated accountants. It's pretty simple really.

Right now Bill Gates is paying 15% long-term capital gains and dividend taxes. Most of us are paying well above that rate.

[jkjsooner]

You have the right to comment. You do NOT have the right to bash.

It depends on how you "bash." Criticizing military policy is a part of a well functioning democracy. Criticizing a soldier is not.

We're quick to criticize local or federal police forces when they abuse their power and most of us have not served in either capacity.

The military as an organization should not be immune to criticism.

I understand the frustration our military folks experience when dealing with people who just don't get how difficult their job is. It's the same type of frustration local law enforcement officers face as well.

[jkjsooner]

Well quit complaining, stop slacking, and make Bill Gates money. DOH.:texan:

Other than the simple fairness aspect, we have a huge budget deficit that won't be solved by cutting spending alone. We need to cut spending. There is no doubt about that, but that will not be enough.

We lowered the long term capital gains and dividends rates due to the early 2000's recession. That made sense for a time as we needed to give the economy a shot in the arm and running a deficit is generally acceptable during a recession but they should have been rolled back and should be rolled back once this latest recession is over.

Edit: I'd be all for subtracting out the year's inflation rate from capital gains prior to calculating the taxes.

Every board has its own mannerisms, and it takes some time to get to know a new board. There were some extremely bright posters from both the right and left on OUI. Some that come to mind were Okie 54 (now 52), NickDanger, Pphil, etc. Some have found their way here. Then, there were a couple of absolute nuts, one of which has found his way here.
