Biden's action with Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan’s Son Shares His Father’s Thoughts About Biden…

Biden has always been a punk, politically speaking

President Ronald Reagan’s son Michael recently uncovered a significant fact about Joe Biden. During Reagan’s two terms as president, Biden allegedly threatened the former president that he would leak any covert action that Reagan had planned to the media if he disagreed with the decision.

It is important to note that in June of 1987, Ronald Reagan gave one of his most famous speeches, famously demanding Mikhail Gorbachev “tear down this wall!” Three days after his address, Reagan wrote in his diary that Sen. Biden was a “demagogue” who was attempting to “save Am[erica] from the Reagan doctrine.”

The Reagan Doctrine was a strategy implemented by the Reagan Administration to overwhelm the global influence of the Soviet Union in the late Cold War.
“[There was] some talk about Sen. Biden — now candidate for Pres. I saw him on CNN last night speaking to the John F. Kennedy school at Harvard U. He’s smooth but pure demagog[ue] — out to save Am[erica] from the Reagan doctrine.”

Perception matters in Foreign Policy - Peace Through Strength

Why Didn’t Putin Invade Under Trump?

The date was November 4, 1980. Ronald Reagan had just been elected president. Ironically, it was exactly one year to the day that over 50 Americans were taken hostage by Iranian zealots under Jimmy Carter. For the likes of Col. Charles W. Scott, it marked a full year in captivity at the U.S. embassy in Tehran.

Scott later recalled the frightened reaction of his Islamist captors to Reagan’s landslide victory: “I remember specifically when one of the guards came in and said, ‘Reagan is now the new president. What do you think will happen when he comes into office?’ I didn’t say a word, I just went ‘BOOM.’ And they said, ‘Really?’ And I said ‘Yeah, the first day he’s in office after the inaugural ceremony, he’ll go back to the White House and say ‘OK, tell the Iranians if they don’t let those hostages go by midnight tomorrow night, its war.’”

A few weeks later, on January 20, 1981, quite literally as Reagan was being inaugurated, every single hostage was released. The double headline across the top of the New York Times the next day said it all: “Reagan Takes Oath as 40th President; Promises An ‘Era of National Renewal’; Minutes Later, 52 U.S. Hostages in Iran Fly to Freedom After 444-Day Ordeal.”

And Biden is perceived across the globe as a weak president.

Quote of the Day - Ronald Reagan

“And by the way, the Constitution does not say that government shall decree the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution says ‘… the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.’”

~ President Ronald Reagan

When speaking before the NRA convention in 1983 he said that gun control is the first step toward the total confiscation of all law-abiding citizens’ guns, and that those who want to inflict harm on others aren’t fazed by stricter gun laws—a nod to the assassination attempt in March 1981.

Quote of the Day - Ben Carson


“We live in a nation where a lot of people are trying to get rid of God. I think that is a big mistake.
Think about the fact that our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, talks about certain inalienable rights given to us by our creator, aka God.

The Pledge of Allegiance to that flag says we are one nation under God. Every coin in our pocket, every bill in our wallet says, ‘In God we trust.’ On the walls of many of the courts in our land it says, ‘In God we trust.’ So if it’s in our founding document, and our pledge, and our courts, and it’s on our money, but we’re not supposed to talk about it — what in the world is that?”

Ronald Reagan Values


Below is a list of principles that President Ronald Reagan adhered to and why he is an important president in history. These principles are the foundation of this country and believed by 100% of all Republicans. They have been eroded over the last decade by liberal progressives and atheists.

I bring this up because a comment that was received by an anonymous person on this blog this morning stated that he/she believes that the Republican Party has been hijacked by right-wing extremists giving no examples of these dastardly deeds. He is a Reagan fan. Of course, I was called a "jihadist" by this anonymous person.

All of these Reagan principles I believe in wholeheartedly and they are common sense beliefs to keep America great; they are certainly not extreme. Donald Trump is using Regan's slogan about keeping America great and it is working for him in the polls.

Freedom

Faith

Family

Sanctity and dignity of life

American exceptionalism

Protection of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness

Lower taxes

Limited government

Peace through strength

Anti communism

Belief in the individual
