Reply #3: Hi, [View All]

I'm really going mad this week.

Although some critical remarks were made here in Europe, this funeral of a guy, who had Alzheimer for at least 70 years of his live - was reported live in German T.V.!
And the same lies, like Reagan has put an end to the cold war, are repeated again and again and again. He prolonged the cold war.

I will always remember Reagan (and Thatcher) as the ones, who declared war to the "New Deal" and the European post-war "Welfare States". For me a kind of "new dark age" started with Reagan, Thatcher and Kohl.

Even Nixon's anti-communism and fight against the left was accompanied by large welfare programms to pacify the poor and seperate the working class from the new left.

Reagan and his comrades were the first to make their fight against social justice and welfare programs in the USA and the "west" a part of their fight against "communism" and the "left".

This might be the reason, so many people admire him,
