So, following this convoluted logic even further into the past, may one assume that Iran-Contra could also be part of the conception of ISIS by the beloved and sainted Ronald Reagan?
The Actor should have been impeached and imprisoned as a treasonous act against the United States of America, that was, the selling missles to Iran.
Oliver North should have been hanged for aiding and abetting the enemy as an officer in the military.
The rest of those involved deserved long federal prison terms as the least.
The establishment of state sponsored terrorism was certainly part of the Iranian revolution that flourished during the Reagan era and continued during the Bush 41 term.
Clinton? Small potatoes compared with the President of the United States committing treasonous acts; she's not the president. Reagan knew and signed off on two separate initiatives to conspire against the people of the United States.
I'd give anything to hear his conversation with God about all of that; he may have been refused entrance into paradise based on his earthly sins against his people and humanity.
Isn't looking at the total history of HISTORY just great? ???
Once again, liberals just cannot bring themselves to tell the truth. I am referring to the recent letters about President Reagan.
The first thing any liberal learns is hatred for Reagan. I wonder why? Quite simply, it was because he was a true conservative, immensely popular and an effective leader.
Mention Reagan and the first thing a liberal will do is cry: Iran-Contra. Well, here is the truth about IranContra. First of all, no laws were broken by Reagan or his administration.
After spending $107 million, independent counsel Lawrence Walsh was unable to prove any wrongdoing by Reagan, even though Walsh continued his investigation well into the 1990s.
Reagan was willing to sell arms to Iran in order to facilitate the release of American hostages being held by Iran.
Politically right or wrong is a judgment you can make, but it was not against the law, as the liberals would have you believe.
The proceeds from the sale of those weapons were funneled to the Contras in Nicaragua.
The Contras were fighting the Communist government of Nicaragua. While this was happening, certain Democrat members of Congress were openly supporting the Communist government of Nicaragua.
Not only were they supporting this government politically, but they were also sending monetary aid to it. They personally visited Nicaragua and personally supported a country that was torturing political dissidents. This was just one of the many atrocities committed by the government of Nicaragua against its own citizens.
What precipitated the so-called IranContra affair was the shooting down of a pilot in that country who was making a clandestine drop of weapons to the Contras.
Once this was learned by the Democrats, they passed a law retroactively making it against the law to support the Contras in any way.
The truth is quite different from what the liberals would have you believe.
So, hate Reagan if you will, but I will not stand by and allow liberals to continue telling lies without being challenged by the truth. Liberals never bother to learn the facts before impugning the reputation of those they hate.
Henry David Thoreau once said, ''Any truth is better than make- believe . . . rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.''

After this period, he was seeking to indict former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Walsh initially indicted Weinberger in June of 1992, but the indictment was thrown out on technical grounds. (I base the following description on a book by Lanny Davis, a political associate of Bill Clinton.)
The Weinberger indictment created an enormous media response and may very well have swung the election. On the Friday before the election, prior to the release of the re-indictment, the Bush internal tracking poll (as well as the Gallop poll of the previous day) indicated a surging Bush was tied with Clinton at 39 percent, with 12 percent supporting Perot, and an unusually large 10 percent still undecided. The re-indictment ended Bush’s surge and reversed the momentum. The Saturday Bush internal tracking poll indicted 39 percent for Clinton, 32 for Bush, and 19 percent for Perot.
I believe that Walsh’s decision to release the indictment of Weinberger on the Friday before the election was probably an impeachable offense. And in any event should be condemned by all people, including Clinton supporters, as an outrageous abuse of authority.
