Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ve been through this before, you and I.

Remember this the next time you hear someone talk about how leaving Somalia six months after the Blackhawk Down event encouraged the terrorists, but Reagan was such a strong leader. Reagan got the hell out of Beirut much faster than Clinton got us out of Somalia (despite calls from the GOP to get out faster), but Ronnie would have protected us!

Horseshit.

Right, I really don’t have issue with Reagan’s decision but yeah I do like yourself have issue with the Reagan cult and make no mistake it is a cult of personality surrounding our 40th president that acts like Reagan would have done this and that when we have actual examples of Reagan doing the same thing that the right has screamed at presidents Obama and Clinton for doing. Yeah it’s sort of passive aggressive but goddamn it I am sick of Ronald Reagan’s pathetic cult lies.
