A common theme of mine, and something I strongly believe in is that the modern Democratic party and the majority of the current liberal movement have been, and continue to be on the wrong side of history.
In the case of Ronald Reagan, history has shown that he helped tear apart the communist Soviet Union, making the world a safer place. Millions have been freed from the shackles of Communism with a lot due to President Reagan's persistence in ridding the world of Communism.
Many of the fundamental ideas he held are similar to our current President. President Bush, just like Reagan, believes the enemy he is fighting is an 'evil empire', one that we as a just nation must fight.
President Reagan, just like Bush does now, believed that it is the role of The United States to plant the seed of democracy throughout the world. Doing so will only make the world a safer place.
But people like John Kerry were then on the wrong side of history, as I believe that they are again now on the wrong side of history. They don't see the big picture of what we are doing. They don't see now that by planting Democracy in a middle eastern Muslim nation we are creating feedom, a freedom which will make a safer place for us and our children.
Just look at this memo from Senator Kerry's office from the Reagan era. Was he right? No.
re: Kerry's list of "Major Nuclear Systems". Seems to me that only the MX Missile had anything to do with nukes. Unless, of course, he included defensive anti-nuclear weapons systems to be a nuclear weapons system.
