No, you were paraphrasing from wiki and it was sad...and wrong.
Yes, when you set up welfare programs, you are definitively doing that. Bringing resources under government control. Do you even know the simplest definitions?
Yes, America, especially since the early 1900s has turned into a country with lots of socialist tendencies and programs. This is not really in dispute between the right or left. Whether they should have them is the dispute. Have you only recently started following politics? Another embarrassing statement.
But, by all means, like I said, go ahead and call Ronald Reagan a Communist and US a Socialist nation if the ever let you into this country and see what will greet your dumb ass.
Keep reading them books though, you might impress some girl yet
Hahahahaha, so you just admitted you know fuck-all about these distinctions. You're going by what the meeja, or the left-wing nutjobs say. A 'conservative' is a lot of things. Reagan wasn't a fiscal conservative. Reagan, wasn't a "Friedmanian" and he certainly wasn't an Austrian follower. He claimed to follow their ideals, but as has been proven - ad nauseam - he wasn't that.
LOL @ pencil neck. Keep 'em coming old timer.
See anyone advocate anarchy? Nice try moron.
Pencil-neck and Virgin.
Awesome comebacks. Say hi to your wife for me.
I’m too busy with my students to have a wife ( ), but I will say hello to the single, equally-pathetic woman that might have ever taken pity on your ass
See, this is you giving yourself away again for the dumbass you are. Yeah, they overlap. But they don't overlap when it comes to Reagan's policies. It means they both oppose increasing government spending and propping up government departments. Another whopper.
Reagan did destroy butt-loads of regulaitons and that’s a fact. Now, carry on with committing hari-kari insisting that he did not.
Instead of trying to look like you know something then shitting on yourself because you don't even know the basics...actually, keep doing it, it's funny.
No, it isn't. That's the whole point of the Fed. You can't have laissez faire when there is a body regulating the money supply. That is why Friedman, ultimately, and the Austrians, always, wanted to abolish it. Don't worry, you didn't know the basics, I didn't expect your dumbass to know that.
It certainly, definitely, without question, means Reagan wasn't a fiscal conservative. So whether you think removing some regulations goes towards free market principles, increasing the size of government spending more than any President in history completely shits on the "keeping government small" concept.
At this rate, you’ll have a heart attack and die delivering your diatribe. As stupid and misguided as you are, I’m concerned about your health.
Haha, another victory. First you went to calling Reagan a "Friedmanian", then learning that he was actually a disciple of Austrian economics, to now saying no one cares. Khob ja-kesh, hamoon aval zer nemizadi.
Olagh jon, “no one cares” means “no none cares.” I know it’s difficult for your dogmatic, puny brain to grasp this, but do your best: we never debated if Reagan was a disciple of Canadian school of basket weaving or Austrian school of chocolate making in this country; the man has always been known as the conservative that he was. It makes no difference what your stupid books tell you to regurgitate.
Is this another fairy tale digression? Reagan a communist and Obama is shrinking the size of government - despite the fact that he made the biggest government handout in human history? When you learn what these terms are, you'll answer your own questions.
Communists, no. Socialists, yes, really, definitively. They promote government programs and use their resource to meddle in the private affairs of citizens. You know, like Reagan spending 1.7 billion on the "War on Drugs" whereas a "Friedmanian" or an Austrian would call for making them legal. Or Bush and TARP.
Coup de grace. This moron talks about me being lynched in America if I called Reagan a socialist - despite the fact that many people do...including the current President he idolises. You couldn't make this kind of idiocy up. And it isn't made up, it exists in this moron called PN.
You’re so utterly inept that you don’t get that Obama made those comments in the context of today’s Republican party politics, you know like how within the context of this thread you are a certifiable moron!
Then again, it's a pretty good chance that you're moron outside of its context too. LOL
