That's so true. It's not up to you to tell us you're a smartass.

We will make that call for you.

I'm all for Donald Trump's plan to have friendly relations with Russia because that lessens the chances for WW3 occurring.

Actually, it sharply increases those chances. I would almost say, it makes WWIII nearly inevitable. So, get ready.

When you are tried for High Treason in about 10 years (after the war), I will testify that you have been spreading foreign propaganda for the purposes of destroying the United States of America already in 2016.

Freedom of Speech and also Thought
The post you are responding to is the post of a leftist eagerly anticipating a world war that would kill millions so that afterwards he could make real his revenge fantasies of being a prosecution witness in Stalinist type show trails. But apparently its the right not the left who is motivated by hate.

I am no leftist. I am a neoliberal free-market pro-globalization economist.
Leftists can adopt neo-liberal policies whilst still being leftists, Tony Blair being a prime example of this. You can deny being a leftist if you like but that doesn't stop you from being one.

I have been an anti-communist since before you were born. A radical anti-Western  Commie, like you, will bevteaching me, what is left, and what is right...

And, of course, Reagan was infinitely more responsible and reliable than Trump.

This. Reagan was Governor of California for eight years and had been a noted public speaker for many years. He had combined good effective public speaking skills and an ability to govern the seventh (I think) largest economy in the world for the times. He also had campaigned twice for the Presidency and developed an understanding of what the Presidency required by 1980.

To think that Reagan would approve of today's Buchananite GOP is to also ignore the history of Reagan. He also spent considerable time driving out of the GOP the Birch Society (he and William F. Buckley) - the same people who dominate the GOP today. (I'm not saying he was perfect or the types surrounding him were fantastic men. They were not. But as a caliber, they were vastly superior to what we see in the GOP today).

Regan was fine with supporting fascism, so yes. The idea that Regan wouldn't like Trump is mind-bogging ridiculous, since they are similar, apart from Regan focused more on the free market, free trade, while trump focuses more on nationalistic protectionism, they represent two different sects of the right-wing.

Intell is becoming TNF 2.0

All of what I said is completely factual.

All of the Republicans like to pretend they are following the holy divine Reagan but the truth is he'd be cast as a RINO in today's party.
