=>* fredw@mcdata.com (Yabba Dabba Dude) tries to enlighten us to the 
    positives of Reagan:  

   
=>* Greatest economic expansion since WWII.   FACT 

  Without trying to balance the government's budget; an unlikely thing 
  to come out of a republican white house. 

  This was a first, and out of the norm when dealing with government 
  and economics; it was irrational. 

=>* Restored military strength & morale.   FACT 

   Restored it?  How?  We were a superpower before he went into office. 
   One failed mission in Iran doesn't mean the whole military was 
   weak. 

=>* Ended cold war with help of star-wars trump card.   FACT 

   Right place right time.  You cannot credit Reagan for the Soviets 
   financial problems.  Besides, the cold war ended while bush was 
   in office; do you credit bush also?  What about the democratic 
   Congress?  Does congress have power? 

=>* Fired illegally striking PATCO members.   FACT 

   Everyone has a natural right to strike. 

=>* Strong leadership, no waffling.    FACT 

    Yup.  Ollie sure followed reagan's lead.  Ollie is a traitor. 

=>* Liberated Grenada.   FACT 

   Big deal.  It's like liberating a nation the size of Rhode Island. 

=>* Silenced Khadafi.   FACT 

   Big deal. 

=>* Your an idiot.   FACT 

   Nice.
