None. He did his duty and reported filthy Communists and their sympathizers to the authorities, as was right and proper.

Suspected Communist sympathizers. No individual or group should have that much power over others' lives.Hollywood blacklist
In 1947, the committee held nine days of hearings into alleged communist propaganda and influence in the Hollywood motion picture industry. After conviction on contempt of Congress charges for refusal to answer some questions posed by committee members, "The Hollywood Ten" were blacklisted by the industry. Eventually, more than 300 artists – including directors, radio commentators, actors, and particularly screenwriters – were boycotted by the studios. Some, like Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, Alan Lomax, Paul Robeson, and Yip Harburg, left the U.S or went underground to find work. Others like Dalton Trumbo wrote under pseudonyms or the names of colleagues. Only about ten percent succeeded in rebuilding careers within the entertainment industry.

I feel the same way about the DEMOCRAT Party.
That's because you believe negative propaganda about the DEMOCRATIC Party, leggiecrite.
Of course, you would use those silly memes. There were books written about Reagan being ignored and Nancy assuming incredible powers with no legal mandate. During his presidency, they still had press conferences and he answered to the press. His handlers made it clear that when he talked to the people there would be a very narrow topic. They dreaded it when he went off the script. He would say things like Trump does. Then his people would try and patch things up. The insiders wrote tell all books when they left.
Reagan was a joke when he was in office. But he seemed for awhile able to remember a script. It was known.https://www.history.com/news/5-presidents-who-hid-their-health-issues

Yes, I get it and cannot fault you for that. It was a different era, and Reagan at least had a superficial propriety and etiquette appropriate and commensurate with the office of the presidency.
I just get personally offended when there is any attempt to juxtapose Bedtime for Bonzo with allusions to the lack of freedom in the USSR.
Reagan literally did not care about the human rights of Russian people. Or any other citizens of the world. The love and admiration Reagan showed for appalling rightwing dictators utterly undermined his phony and embellished rhetoric about freedom and shining cities on hills.

Over the top.
Everybody knows the Soviet regime was totalitarian and undemocratic. There are ways to support Soviet dissidents and human rights, without being an inflammatory jackass.
Outlandish rhetoric like that was highly offensive to many Russian people. The Russians I know thought it was just stupid and insulting. Unremitting criticism coming from outside, by a person like Reagan who actually did now jack sh*t about Russia, is neither helpful nor welcomed in my opinion.
The economy was quite good because of Reaganomics.
Trickle down economics was vilified but proven correct. When people get to keep more of THEIR own money via tax cuts they spend that extra money which grows the economy. It leads to more jobs which means more tax payers which furthur expands the economy.
Yes he was. I have his book. Signed by him.
He was an intellect with a serious sense of humor who understood the threat of Socialism.
Ronald Reagan Warning to America
Yet these trash liberal morons call him stupid. His speech looks like he was a psychic lol. Several levels ahead of most. Just like trump only smoother.
What we have today in terms of the drug epidemic is a direct result of liberal policies.
Reagan was an intellectual lightweight. But he was upbeat, personable, and had class.
There is no way he belongs as high on the list of presidents as he presently is (that will change as time goes on), but he was a shitload closer to Lincoln or Washington than to Trump...who will absolutely go down in history as THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER.
So, yeah, I'd drink a toast to Ronald Reagan any day. Trump deserves to be pissed on!

Look, you have to consider the source. These are Fascistic, low IQ, uneducated, pompous dumb fucks who think that becoming a dependent ward of the State is awesome. They hate anyone who disagrees with their Marxist dogma.
I always find it ironic when dishonest, leftist, intellectual lightweight losers on a political blog, who have accomplished NOTHING in their lives, claim that men of great achievement were intellectual lightweights. I am pretty sure you're too stupid to see that irony because idiots are the last to realize what idiots they are.

The remora of JPP
He was the guy who proved to rightys that the debt does not matter. The Repubs have cranked it up one after another and when Dems get in they weep about the debt.
