And once you're out, enjoy the prestige of Secret Service protection, and an infinite flow of cash for just being an ex-President. <br /><br />We are definitely a nation of men, not laws. Don't expect that to change anytime soon.Cinesiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996950964848333121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-59873189910968005822013-09-07T19:31:22.568-05:002013-09-07T19:31:22.568-05:00Reminder: We still haven’t arrested, jailed, or as...Reminder: We still haven’t arrested, jailed, or as far as we know, even pursued anyone for the intelligence fraud and blatant crimes of Republicans that led us into a disastrous war in Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-81010953884913015892013-09-07T18:06:25.844-05:002013-09-07T18:06:25.844-05:00Just finished reading Seth Rosenfeld's "S...Just finished reading Seth Rosenfeld's "Subversives: the FBI's War against Student Radicals." Much enlightening info on Reagan: rat fink as president of SAG, informing on those he thought were pinkos, currying favor with the reprehensible J. Edgar Hoover; strong-arming legit liberal groups as governor while gutting the great California higher education system; illegally conniving with the FBI to smash or jail political opponents. No wonder he helped Saddam Hussein: he envied his dictatorship.RYBicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150111891249338360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-25626787024766809052013-09-07T06:45:51.839-05:002013-09-07T06:45:51.839-05:00http://billmoyers.com/segment/andrew-bacevich-on-t...http://billmoyers.com/segment/andrew-bacevich-on-taking-action-in-syria/<br /><br />I mean if you want to think about the real situation.

When Reagan became president the second time he won 49 states and 525 electoral votes. He increased his share of the popular vote by about 9% the second time around.<br /><br />The people had spoken. Clearly and decisively.
