Why we need Ronald Reagan

The guy got things done.

Hostages in Iran? He got them released ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE!

All he had to do was get elected president and, suddenly, Iran was like: "Hey! OK. SORRY! Here's your people! Our bad! Just don't hurt us!"

Communism? How many presidents had spent how many trillions of dollars fighting a Cold War against Russia? All Reagan had to do was say: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!"

Had anyone else thought to just ask???!!!

And, except for the seven times he did, Ronald Reagan NEVER RAISED TAXES!!!!

He hated BIG GOVERNMENT too. Famously, he said that the most frightening words ever spoken were: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." George Bush copied off of that for eight years, it was that good.

In Reagan's eight years in office, government was limited to him, the senior George Bush and a guy named Carl who picked up around the White House. Carl, by the way, was not union.

Pretty neat, eh?
