All the right left shit is bullshit. At least Reagan was likeable. This other fucker is a prick.
Who broke the treaty that raygun is holding?
Reagan wasn't likeable, he was just a good actor- good at manipulating people into thinking he was something that he was not.
I remember him delivering a flawless half hour speech with No Teleprompter
Str8 freestylin niggaz
"I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here, even though sometime back they may have entered illegally,"
Ronald Reagan
all of this "saint ronny the conservative" narrative is a bunch of bullshit. He was completely full of shit too. You guys are just using selective memory to only recall the good things. I could put up a bunch of obama quotes that would make him sound like a libertarian too, but it doesn't make him one. Look at what reagan did, not what he said. As with every other politician, there was a big difference
You're stepping on political Jeezus territory there. /sarc
Reagan had two goals while in office. He ended the cold war and ended inflation. A lot of other shit happened, but he did do those two things.
I tell you what, you look at the accomplishments of Reagan and even more so with Nixon, and they look pretty good, compared to the idiots we've had since.
And as far as who broke that treaty, well... it wasn't the Russians.
I don't give a shit about "compared to the idiots we've had in office since". He was a shitty president, who FUCKING TRIPLED the national debt. The cold war would have ended no matter who was in office because the soviet union had been crumbling from within for decades, because that is the inevitable result of socialism/communism; he just happened to be sitting in the oval office when the USSR finally was forced to aquiese to reality and break up. And he ended inflation? SO he restored sound money, and shit stopped getting more expensive while he was in office? we stopped deficit spending? We stopped printing money?
"He was better than bush, clinton, obama, etc" isn't exactly saying a lot. Just because my two year old's shitty diapers don't smell as bad as sticking my head in a fucking port-a-potty doesn't mean my kids shitty diapers smell good.
@ Deprogrammed- yes, I know Ijust insulted republican jeezus, I knew I would get a bunch of shit for it. Two years ago, most on here would have agreed. It shows how shitty the commentary has gotten on here when there are this many people who still think so highly of reagan.
Democrats not welcome here fuck off to huffpo fagget.
first of all, it's 'faggot', not fagget, you little shit.
You are the perfect example of the stupidty of most people, and how far the commentary on here has fallen. "doesn't like Ronald Reagan, therefore must be a liberal". Fucking stellar logic right there. You cannot be even a semi-consistent libertarian and still praise anything Reagan did. You yourself must be a garden variety statist authoritarian republican, which is the ONLY type of person who could praise reagan.
Greenskeeper Carl :"He was a shitty president, who FUCKING TRIPLED the national debt"
Not even worth a mention ...a rank amatuer, really, compared to chalky.
All irrelevant. For 70 years, we've used violence to stop the spread of the various manifestations of socialism. The outcome of the use of force is always the exact opposite of the stated objectives.
Wait for it.....
I up arrowed you. Fuck Reagan. Fuck this whole left/right paradigm. And fuck all these academia fucktards on ZH that still subscribe to it....
This black muslim cunt couldnt hold a candle to Reagan.
The first point of order for new president: rip up the lover's pact the junglebunny in chief made with his muslim boyfriends.
left right left right .....
deleted to defer to babaloo's comment below.
True that. Also, it is ironic that the "trust but verify" motto was used first by Stalin, not Reagan.
It's a russian proverb.
Doveryai, No ProveryaiIt is a Russian proverb and was a favorite saying of Lenin.
... which is why Reagan threw it back in their faces
Lenin also had another gem: "The goal of socialism is communism". So fuck all of you Sanders faggots, go start your commie utopia somewhere else. You people NEVER learn so logic is wasted on you. Lucky for you the cartel wants world communism so they will use you for the USEFUL IDIOTS that you are. Unfortunately for you, we have God on our side.
No, it was Lenin.
Doveriay, no proveriay.
Proverka - vyshaya forma doveria.
(Inspection is the highest form of trust)
'This other fucker is a communist'
A Facist fucker, pay attention
I too think the left right is BS, but if I had to choose I would choose the left.
Because you need someone to hold a gun to your head, take your money and buy shit you know you should buy for yourself? Do you need someone to wipe your ass too?
he probably does. maybe there is an 'obama-wiper' program you can sign up for when you get the free phone...
Oh, and by the way, to the posters above, that free phone shit STARTED UNDER REAGAN TOO
Finally … some truth about the “phone” +1
and if I got to choose for you, that padded cell at the end of the hallway is free...
I hated that fuckin raygun.
The media told you to hate Reagan. Just like they told you to hate W. I don't think Reagan was all that his admirers think he was, but don't let the MSM do your thinking for you.
Take every last politician on earth and.... ______________
It's 2015, I think I can figure out how to live my life without out some asshole selling out my future or telling me what to eat, who I can buy goods and services from... fucking enough already.
major garrett & sean duffy might sustain "accidents" over the weekend ... to be completely unrelated even tho they turn out to be identical "accidents"
The stars of "Bedtime for Bonzo".
OK, it's pretty obvious who's the chimp, but..............
You have to pass it for an American politician to read it.
Wasn't that guy on the left the guy who actually sold arms to Iran? For hostages?
How'd that work out again?
Oh yeah, "The investigation was impeded when large volumes of documents relating to the scandal were destroyed or withheld from investigators by Reagan administration officials."
ZH is turning into a joke.
Shhhh, you are messing up the narrative of the guys who paid to have these cartoons posted.
pods
If you guys don't know the difference, I'm surely not going to try and explain it.
Well I appreciate it.
"The investigation was impeded when large volumes of documents relating to the scandal were destroyed or withheld from investigators by ... administration officials."
Can you name one President that this DOESN'T refer to?
One suspects Andrew Jackson might qualify, maybe the Adams boys, but no one since and including Lincoln.
Can you name one President that this DOESN'T refer to?
"Forty-four wrongs make a right" is hardly a defence.
Rather well actually, no boots on the ground, although we did tear up the Iranian Navy in the space of a day or two...
Not to mention the hostages were released. Judge each one on the good/bad they did while in office.
Standard Disclaimer: and all it took was a single cruise missile to bring Qaddafi into line. not to mention bankrupting Russia in what could only be described as a classic poker bluff.
Cleanliness tip: With a little soap and water, Obama will come off the bottom of your shoe.
Not to mention the hostages were released.
The October Surprise was the deal by Reagan's people in which they asked the Iranians to hold the hostages until Reagan was in office and he'd give them a better deal than Carter. Nice folks.
After more than 6 years of reading ZH, I have to say:
1. I have no clue what the intent of the original owners of ZH were. But I suspect they are long gone.
2. I do not know who owns and writes for ZH now, but it is completely different from ZH in the beginning.
3. ZH has been providing one side of a dialectic. However, now it is seemingly attempting to merge with the other side of the dialectic. Maybe it is not only a forum used to identify people and to radicalize them (at least in words), but it is also an experiment in how gain the confidence of people with one mind-set and slowly bend them to another view. It is subtle how mainstream views are being blended in with the more opposing views. We are now frequently seeing mainstream (Reuters style) explanations for market actions portrayed in ZH that most readers know to be patently false and laughable. The Greece coverage has been over-the top and boring, just like mainstream.
Maybe YOU are tryig to bend some minds..... The Greece doverage has been wisde and varied here at ZH. I think that the site requires that people still think for themselves regarding what is closest to the real story.
Think for yourself, based on inputs. You may have a problem with that.

Hmmmm .... Is anyone else's Soros meter pegging at this moment?
Bloggers make a living off of clicks/page views. "Tyler" is just making a living by casting a wider net. Almost all websites I have visited over the years have done this, and it hasn't been all positive, but I can't blame them.
You are probably right, sigh.
In the beginning the Hedge was the real thing. The Tyler's only had about four or five posts a day and there was good dialogue between the commentators about each story. It was a great place to learn and get real news that disrupted the status quo. Those Tyler's have either cashed out or been run out by now. This place is just a vague shell of what it used to be. Nothing but click bait bullshit stories and very little of substance.
Thank you
Really, the guy on the left sold WMDs to Iran?
If you would still care about nuances, you would realize the joke's on you.
And, the guy on the right is the one who's opening up the weapon channels to the Iranians and letting them keep the hostages
President Barry is a traitor.
President Reagan was an American.
Just say "that Kenyan cocksuker " we know who that is
Think about your children and their futures in Barryworld.
I suspect there is no real Barry. He is just the assembly of several clones or doubles run by someone else for a purpose.
Originally I did not think of Barry as an assemblage of doubles or clones. It was not until it was clear that the Putin we are seeing now is not the original Putin and Kerry was replaced with someone else in a Kerry wig that it became possible to consider it.
I also find it interesting that whoever is doing the false flag media schtick either wants people to know that the photo composites they are showing are faked or they REALLY ARE THAT INCOMPETENT. There are always clear clues in the photos (skin tone mismatches, wrong shadowing, the eyebrows are always the same Hollywood groomed eyebrows {odd for a supposed psycho}, earlobe mismatch etc.). I find it difficult to believe they are simply incompetent.
Why does Barry's hair color change so frequently (he forgot the Grecian Formula that morning?)
Barry is a puppet.
a puppet of the ZOG that plucked him from obscurity, wrote two 'autobiographies' for him, and had him select Mossad agent Rahm Emanuel as his first Chief of Staff.
The same ZOG that pays ziotrolls to post missives about Valerie Jarret, Jesuits, Luciferians, and space lizards - anything to keep our eyes off the Babylonian Talmudists....

Barry may have been threatened, but Reagan took a bullet before he finally submitted to the oligarchs. I hope Trump is for real, but he's not a stupid man.
Some time ago, word on the street was that Obama was planning to invite John Hinckley Jr. over to the whitehouse to have a beer in the rose garden shortly after his supervised release. I guess Hinckley got cold feet...
Barry wasnt threatened, man - he was groomed from the time he was in college...certainly law school...
The Zionist Elephant In The Room
... BUT SEE IT AND YOU'RE 'RACIST'

Barry was grown from a pod in the basement of Rev Wright's gay night club.
And I bet when you get up in the morning and realize you are out of milk your first thought is that the Mossad broke in last night and drank it. Never mind that you just forgot to buy more after an oreo binge while searching out more AntiSemetic websites ran by basement dwelling lunatics.
This newest crop of Neo Nazis make those boys in the Pacific NorthWest back country in the 90s look downright sane.
Hope you enjoyed your Kool-Aid
Irony that a man holds up a piece of paper saying one thing and does the opposite of what he expects the other party to adhere to.
President Obama issued a statement yesterday urging Americans to respect the religion of Islam before he even commented on a terror attack by an Islamic extremist in Chattanooga which killed four Marines, prompting widespread anger.
The White House tweeted out a statement wishing Muslims “Eid Mubarak!” as Ramadan came to a close, adding that, “the holiday is a reminder to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs.”
what a guy
Still waiting for him to send out congratulatory statements to Catholics, Baptists, Hindus, Buddhists, Anglicans, . . .
Is there something special about Muslims?
Nancy Reagan > Michelle Obama
What a difference 28 years makes.
Yeah but Nancy, the Gipper and Papa Bush started that whole MADD, Just Say No, War on Drugs shit.
How did that work out for the sheeple?
Seemed deflationary ...drugs got a lot cheaper. from $100 eight balls To $5 rocks..
yeah after the CIA started importing drugs into major cities.
Indeed, a healthy dose of class makes all the difference in the world.

really?
odd that Kiev won't release those ATC recordings, and the US couldnt provide any sat imagery, eh?
Neocon Tyler is fuckin' with the brand, yo.
I can get that sort of shit **anywhere**.
the tylers are posting bait for zionazi bashing. it is actually a welcome change from when they avoided criticism of the zionazis purposely.
Reagan was a POTUS
Obama is a POS
Barry is an arrogant demon.
He is Legion.
This Pope is from hell too.
A better comparison would be to Obama:CLinton who gave away the store to North Korea.
And that turned out just great, right?
Lying fucking Kenyan petulant child. An imbecile. Fuck You Obie
You went from Washington who couldn't tell a lie to Nixon who couldn't tell the truth to Bush who couldn't tell the difference.
Now democracy's great boast is coming true - anybody can be president.
A nobody can you mean.
Nobody for Pres.
It is always good to see that one outlier that votes others down when stating for a fact that Obama is indeed a piece of shit.
To the lone downvoter (although more may follow), after you sent your $5 for Obama's election/re-election campaign fund, did Obama send you some sperm to guzzle?
Nah, he probably got some sweaty shit stained panties from the Wookie that he can sniff while jacking off to Barry Sotero's posters.
I figure the down voters are the paid .gov trolls. Although MediaMatters has a bad habit of winding up the Obots and setting them loose with a free finger extending from their tight jackets.
FORWARD SOVIET!
Tommy Flanagan became pres.
Hello, my name is Tommy Flanagan, and I'm a member of Pathological Liars Anonymous. In fact.. I'm the president of the organization!
I didn't always lie. No, when I was a kid, I told the truth. But then one day, I got caught stealing money out of my mother's purse. I lied. I told her it was homework - that my teacher told me to do it. And she got fired! Yeah, that's what happened!
After that, lying was easy for me. I lied about my age and joined the army. I was thirteen at the time. Yeah.. I went to Vietnam, and I was injured catching a mortar shell in my teeth. And they made me a three-star general! And then I got a job in journalism, writing for the National Enquire.. er, Geographic! Yeah.. I was making twenty thousand a ye.. month! In fact, I won the Pulitzer Prize that year! Yeah, that's the ticket.
And then my cousin died - Joe Louis - and I took it hard. Maybe too hard - I tried to kill myself. Yeahh.. I did kill myself! Sure! I was medically dead for a week and a half! It was a woman that brought me out of it - Indira Gandhi! Yeah, right.. And she told me about Pathological Liars Anonymous.
Oh, you'd be surprised how many famous people belong. In fact.. at one of the meetings I met my wife - Morgan Fairchild! Yes, I'm a change man now, and all because of Pathological Liars Anonymous. Why, I - I even have my picture on the cover of Newsweek magazine. Yeah. Every day! Yeah.. that's the ticket!
Hmm, the artistic and propaganda style remind me of that Ramirez guy. No verification eh? Iran's nuclear program will be subject to the most invasive inspections ever, they are reducing stockpiles of enriched uranium, decommissioning centrifuges, and converting existing facilities to produce less plutonium. They will abide by the agreement, not start a war with Israel or anyone else, and engage in commerce like any normal country. This is what drives netanyahu, AIPAC and neocons crazy. Face it you lousy cartoonists, you lost.
Yeah, Iran said they weren't going to build a bomb. There is even some Fatwah to that effect, so says Bathhouse. So, if that's true, why did Obama need to make a deal? Doesn't sound like Iran was ever going to build one but we just had to have a deal. Why? Give 'em back their dough, say "byegones" and sing along with Valerie! "Everything is Awesome...".
https://youtu.be/9cQgQIMlwWw
ALL HAIL OBAMUS REX!
FORWARD SOVIET!
And all the inspections are to be done by Kerry on his bicycle.
Why does a country with massive oil need a nuclear program except to make bombs? The world has a large number of developed countries which lack Iran's energy wealth and yet which do not need a uranium enrichment program.
You have to be pretty thick or bloody dishonest (like Obama) to believe Iran is not trying to build nuclear weapons, for which Obama and his Iranian consiglierie Jarrett, have given the all clear.
As a signatory of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Trety, Iran is guaranteed the right to develop domestic nuclear energy
They want to sell their precious hydrocarbons on the casino for maximum cash while using nuclear power for domestic consumption
LoL, oh wait you were serious, thats even funnier.
the only people complaining about the treaty are the zionazis and their minions in congress. everyone else knows it is good for the usa even even though the zionazis are still intent on war with iran and will sabotage the new relationship with iran in a way that will cost americans their lives. a false flag of some sort is assured.
It is the greatest sham in history that the zionists through their media control have tricked the American people into conflating Israel's interests with American's, yet thee two could not be further apart. Zionists run Washington, just look at what happened when Obama nominated Chuck Hagel, during his Senate confirmation you would have thought he was going to be in the Israeli government. The vast majority of the questions for our useless treasonous Senate, was regarding Hagel's support for Israel, not about Russia, or about China, it was all Israel and Iran.
You know Hegel is a Jew?
Reagan talked like a Libertarian but otherwise he was a big government whore.
Reagan...was...a...whore.
Much clearer, yes?
I included the 'big government' part so as to not exclude statists, left or right.
Yeah, because real working women support government regulation and oppression...
The accord will bring us peace in our time...
http://incapp.org/blog/?p=2609
Odd how your comment is not backed by your zionist link...saying that Zionists war mongers, and hater, is NOT ignorant, IT IS A FACT. No matter how many times you repeat the lie, everyone who is paying attention has seen the power of zionsim in Washington and the Middle east. How many OTHER world leaders come before the US Congress, disrespect the sitting President, and get more standing ovations that any of our presidents get? It is not out of respect for the murderous scum bag, but because the thugs at AIPAC, ADL...et al, are watching and will pounce on any elected official that does not support the Israeli's. And they get away with it because they control the media, and because Americans in general are idiots.
Who knows where this accord will lead, but one thing for sure, if the zionists and Benny "the Butcher" Netanyahu does not want it, it has to be a good thing.
Anything short of the dissolution of governments will be ineffective at bringing peace in our lifetimes.
'War is the health of the state'
One was an actor, not particularly good either. The other is a first class asshole and good at it. Obie wins
God this is idiotic.
One's a good politician the other is still breathing.
Funny cartoon. Is this about a US president selling arms to Iran illegally? Is that about a US presidential candidate arranging for US hostages to be kept hostages until after the election? Let us continue Reagan-worship! No black skin on him!
IRAN IS AWESOME
(no idea why Zerohedge posts these propaganda cartoons)
Why this hulla-ballo? Iran is no worse than Pakistan. In fact, Iran's Mullahs are much more in control of it's army and it's unorthrodox fighting force (aka terrorists).
And it most definitely will not nuke Israel. It's real enemy is Saudi Arabia. Two strong forces in the Middle East will keep all those crazies out of our hair.
Dis kartoon iz Rayciss!
