Yeah, because we would never have to end up going to whoever attacked us by air (bombers or missles). Nope, never…

Oh, wait…

The whole national security thing is nothing more than a boogeyman. Who, exactly, are we going to fight with our Chrysler K-Tanks (aka M1 Abrams) anyway? The Chinese? How would they get to America? In CONEX containers? America is not going to be invaded by amphibious landings. And those Honda/Nissan/Toyota plants in the US can be nationalized pretty quick if needed, just like we did with the industries in WWII.

We did away with numerous airplane manufacturers after WWII, and nothing happened because Wright/DeHavilland stopped making planes.

Furthermore, we do not need a Big Three if they can’t make it on their own. We can survive with a Big Two.

I’ll say it again, Parsnip. Stop. Talking.

You are digging a hole, and I advise you stop soon.

Quoting anything Reagan did after he began suffering from Alzheimer’s is in rather poor taste, daley.

Which is to be expected, I suppose.

parsnip – Don’t give up the meme. The laws of probability almost guarantee that sometime you are going to make a valid point.

parsnip – Shortly after Clinton defeated Bush 1, Reagan sent Limbaugh the following note:

Dear Rush,

Thanks for all you’re doing to promote Republican and conservative principles. Now that I’ve retired from active politics, I don’t mind that you have become the Number One voice for conservatism in our Country.

I know the liberals call you “the most dangerous man in America,” but don’t worry about it, they used to say the same thing about me. Keep up the good work. America needs to hear the way things ought to be.”

Sincerely, Ron

As usual, your analysis of conservatives is flawed. As an actor, Reagan probably admired Limbaugh’s over the top schtick the liberals believe is serious.

“My swipe was at Jimmy Carter, daley.”

parsnip – My mistake, I hadn’t yet finished wading through your detailed explaination in comment #81 which interestingly enough dealt with the electoral college totals in 1984 not 1980.

When I’ve come not to expect honesty from someone like you or your ilk, I’m never disappointed when I don’t get it like in that pitiful explaination.

It’s the other way round, Scott.

Reagan would have found people like Limbaugh and his dittoheads embarrassments to the conservative movement.

And how cute is it that a Limbaugh conservative like yourself is trying to claim Reagan as one of your own?

Just stop talking now.

Reagan is viewed as nearly a GODHEAD to conservatives. Claiming he was NOT (or suggesting ignorantly that Reagan isn’t one of Limbaugh’s favorite presidents EVER) is just plain stupid.
