[Zen Democrat]

90. Almost everything wrong with 21st Century America began with Reagan.

Including the poisonous political atmosphere. I've been involved with Democratic politics since I was 14. I never experienced the nastiness of political hacks infiltrating opposition rallies and trying to break them up UNTIL the 1980 campaign. I was at Miller Outdoor Theater in Houston to see President Carter during his reelection campaign, and the place was filled with Young Republicans who wouldn't let Carter talk because of their chanting about Carter killing the B-1 Bomber. This was the year Bob Dornan became "B-1 Bob" and after we knew that the B-1 Bomber was a boondoggle.

Reagan began his Labor Day campaign that year in Philadelphia, MS, and didn't mention the 3 civil rights workers killed there, but talked instead about states' rights.

There was the plot with the Iranians to sell them spare parts for their missiles if Iran did not release the hostages until AFTER the election.

He ended federal funding for mental care facilities and created the homeless, along with his crippling recession that also put people on the street and living in their cars for the first time.

He did everything in his power to kill the American trade unions.

He gave us the trickle-down joke of Reaganomics.

He deregulated the savings and loans, and they imploded.

I haven't even scratched the surface of the damage this man and his minions did to the United States of America.
