Q props up Reagan to be this huge patriot. Everything that I look at points to him being a black hat. Don’t get me wrong, I want Reagan to be good, but I just need someone to explain how he was good. Some have said he was good till he got shot but why would Q continue to quote him and act like he was a patriot if he turned bad.
I’m not saying I’m right, because I’m probably not. I’m just confused and need someone to tell me why I was wrong.
The things I liked about Reagan: He built back the military after Carter tore it down. He gave the men and women in the military good pay raises. During the Carter years some of them were having to get food stamps to help feed their kids. He brought the pride back to military. Brought back the WW2 battle ships too. I joined the Navy in 83 and the petty officers, chiefs, officers above me that served under Carter expressed many times how better the Navy was under Reagan. The Cold War finally ended with Reagan with his help in getting Russia to collapse, with the help of “Star Wars” and military spending making Russia try and do the same to stay up which they ended up collapsing, Eventually, the USSR couldn’t even pay their military men and women. The Berlin Wall came down and so did the old Soviet Union. He loved America, it could be seen and heard in his speeches like that can with Trump. They were from the heart. He brought back pride to be an American after Carter, like Obama, tried to make being an American shameful. He brought back respect for America because other nations knew Reagan wouldn’t be pushed around like Carter was. Iran hostages were released when Reagan was inaugurated because they knew he’d take some real action if not.
Things I didn’t like about Reagan: #He signed the amnesty bill, 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act. Which gave amnesty to millions of illegals for the promise of stricter border security that never happened. I don’t like it that government spending took off and he couldn’t get a balanced budget. It can be argued to a degree that his tax cuts mainly benefited the rich like Buffett, Soros etc…and that rather than many of the rich invest their savings in the U.S. with expanding production it mainly went over seas and down the Mexico. I know it was during some of these tax reforms when waitresses were to start paying taxes on their tips. “In 1983, for example, he signed off on Social Security reform legislation that, among other things, accelerated an increase in the payroll tax rate, required that higher-income beneficiaries pay income tax on part of their benefits, and required the self-employed to pay the full payroll tax rate, rather than just the portion normally paid by employees.” I also didn’t like after he was shot he joined the CFR. I also dislike the kids he had with Nancy in Ron jr and Patti, both flaming liberals.
