Gorbachev won the Cold War like Lee won the Civil War.

Note to inexperienced “writers” such as the one giving us the lowdown in this article: The surrendering army aren’t the winners. The army they surrender to are.

Reagan wasn’t perfect it turns out. Who is? He was however the greatest President of The United States in my lifetime (62 years) and no one else, no one, is even close.

How very sad. Reagan is a hero. Obama is a zero.

Has anybody read a junior high or high school history text published in the last 10 years? According to the one I just saw published by McMillan white men had nothing to do with founding our country, inventing anything useful and any other significant event in our nation’s history. All this was done by minorities of course. The homeboys back at Lexington and Concord told them British honkies to get the f**k out then they kicked their lily white asses back to England.

This is just more of the same. I thought only the Soviets and Cubans rewrote history to match the latest party line. No wonder our children have no sense of pride in their country.

The left must rewrite history because reality leaves them much to be desired.

Jeremiah Wright did it.
(Everything wrong with the world is caused by white people)

Hugo Chavez did it.
(Latin America is the constant, continuing victim of white people and Western countries)

Ahmadinejad did it.
(Everything bad in the Middle East is caused by Israel)

Who are we to argue with the choice of liberal journalists?
Newspapers are like fashion magazines these days. Some airbrushing here, a Photoshop tweak there – any small deception or obscurity to draw the reader toward certain predetermined conclusions on the left.

Being a liberal is like writing for the Weekly World News; since you have absolutely no restrictions (such as truth) on what you say or write, the job’s so much simpler!
You have to admit, writing articles like Aliens Impregnated My Wife or Reagan Did Not End the Cold War, are so much simpler to write if you don’t allow facts to get in your way.
Time Magazine – Weekly World News, no real difference!

What good is it to be a liberal if you can’t make stuff up?

I totally agree with you RB; Conservatives like Reagan, take credit for their actions while liberals reflexively deny everything!

Compared Clinton who didn’t inhale & Obama who wasn’t a Muslim. Seems to me Reagan’s way ahead.

And during the 1980s, Rep. Charlie Wilson single handedly waged a secret war and defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Hey. This liberal, community-based, revisionist reality game is deceptively fun!

Ah yes, the “Gorbachev would have brought down the wall even if Reagan had never been elected” argument.

This when we have had numerous ex-Soviet officials admitting that the reason SDI helped accelerate the Soviet Union’s demise is because they were absolutely convinced that Reagan would be willing to wage a nuclear war if it came right down to it.

The liberals’ revisionist history regarding the Cold War and Reagan is, IMHO, every bit as offensive as the work of “revisionists” to deny the Holocaust occurred.
