Reagan was a(n) [pretty good] actor...~

happy now bt^ ^

And Hannity's an idiot.

Nobody even liked Reagan until after he was dead.

Ugh...I'm beginning to actually get a grip on what drives Hannity. Sheer stupidity!

Anyone who would equate the situations in Poland and Iran can't possibly have a working brain.

Stop the insHannity!

A cardboard cutout of Reagan would make a better president than The Teleprompesident from Kenya.

The last thing that the Iranian opposition needs is US support, or the appearance of it. Hannity probably knows that, but doesn't care. The same can be said for the Republicans and conservatives as a whole.

Why would anybody bother to listen to Hannity and conservatives after the debacle they created in Iraq and Afghanistan?

When will those idiots learn to shut up?

Reagan began his speech by eloquently deploring the violent acts of bullies who threaten freedoms of individuals and ends it by making threats of his own, thereby becoming bully himself. --No doubt the cold war (nuclear?) threats were meant intimidate the neighbours of a country occupied (at least in part) by the American military (ie West Germany).

The similarity to the situation in Iran is that it too is bordered by countries presently occupied by U.S. troops, has been subject to intimidating rhetoric from the U.S., and is nearby to Russia (sharing a trade border via the Caspian Sea). Many of the conflicts the U.S. has been involved with since the conclusion of WWII have had the partial aim of creating either a firm foothold or civil unrest about the doorstep of the Soviet Union--to "prevent the spread of socialism."

Reagan's comments in 1981 did little to defuse the cold war. If nothing else, his threats likely heightened existing tensions, and the cold war itself. Hannity seems to want to step back into the Fear-driven state that the Cold War was, when the tyranny of Fear was used to whither personal liberties in exchange for state-provided personal "safety" set in motion by McCarthyism.

The difference now is that most people are weary of occupying foreign lands, and tired of footing the bill for such imperialistic conquests to the sole benefit of war profiteers. The comments made by Obama and his administration reflect those wishes not to create even more conflicts than they are engaged in already. Earlier this year in his statements to Iran, Obama made effort to extend an olive branch to take the chill off that diplomatic climate. Rescinding that gesture will do nothing to aid the Administration's goal of creating a sense of stability in their policy, foreign and domestic.

Besides that, America can not afford another war-not even a cold one-and most of the world knows it.
Hannity stands alone in his ignorance.

Are you suggesting that that's why he appears to be wearing Rouge? I am outraged sir, outraged and appalled by your insinuation. Good day.

An upgrade from the last guy who could barely read the teleprompter, amiright?

I think I know what QM is actually after: world record down-votes. Congratulations sir, you are the winner!

Now go away.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

This speech has to be seen in its historical context. Reagan's message was aimed as much at the Soviets as the Polish government and has much to do with cold war jousting.
