IT'S SHOW BIZ!

Not at all. He's a lot older than Beck, has had a great career in law and especially working in the Justice Department. His talk show is all about the Constitution and it's use and abuse, by either party, today. And he's not just a died in the wool Republican either. His mentor was Hubert Humphrey!

Iran Contra was wrong, but we can look back from our vantage point after all these years, and see that the Communists were a real threat in several Central and South American countries.

Their response was wrong, but their threat assessment was correct.

There were things that should never have been done: like the CIA killing President Allende in Chile.

WTH were they thinking??

What a contrast that is with today's congress and media. Reagan's law-breakers were investigated, brought up on charges, and convicted.

Obama's law-breakers are unknown, (who approved Fast and Furious, who ordered the military responders to Benghazi to "stand down", who ordered the words "attack" removed and "disturbance" inserted into the CIA's report?, who ordered the conservative 501c 4 groups to be harassed by the IRS, FBI, OSHA, and other federal agencies, etc.)

The Congress has not been able to check the power and misdeeds of the President, and the media is largely responsible for that. With elections every few years, not many politicians can afford to attack Obama, when all his cheer-leading media types will immediately cast him or her, in the worst possible light.



BTW, the "half dozen or so" IRS agents that were being investigated for targeting conservative groups, has now been expanded to include records from 88 agents.

They have been informed to secure all "related" communications from their computers. Who decides what is "related"? They do!

Reagan may have been impacted by Alzheimers in his second term, but 30 years after his election, what is it that we need very badly? OH! It's a missile defense shield! And before that, he was easily the best communicator we ever had in the Oval Office.
