Reagan

This pudding-brained retard literally sent weapons to ISLAMIC JIHADIS of all people - why do conservatives worship him?

Muslim women dress like slobs

Name a single thing that Reagan ever did wrong?`Protip: you can't.

because those weapons shot down a fuckload of soviet choppers.

it's not like the old shoulder fired rockets we sent them were all ground down and repurposed into a plane they used to fly into the twin towers.

These are the same liberals who can't wrap their brain around the fact that countries switched sides in World Wars.

Easy - the 1986 amnesty.

It was the right thing to do.

All that money and weaponry empowered Wahhabist ideology, which is EXACTLY what led to future terrorism. Stop cucking for a president who fucked up, badly.

the war on drugs was essentially a waste for anything other than covering up our anti-communist activites in central and south america.

He lowered the taxes on the rich to the levels they are today. If they were what they were in 1985 the "1%" would be paying their own share.

We could have also done more to help Poland and the Baltic states during that time.

Nope. These weapons went to the Northern Alliance who killed Russian dogs. Russia invading Afghanistan to spread communism is what caused the problems there.

I think what empowers Wahhabist ideology is the billions of gallons of crude oil sold on the open market.

Plus the Jihadis were in the right. The Soviets were imperialist invaders. Just because they are idiots doesn't mean the Soviets were in the right. They invaded and occupied an independent country that didn't do anything except not want to be Communist.

...

He also sent weapons to right wing death squads.

>Assault Weapons ban
>Iran-Contra
>Amping up War on Drugs
>Voodoo economics
>No fault divorce
Those are just off the top of my head. If it weren't for Wilson and FDR, Reagan would've been the worst president of the 20th century.

>Granting >5 million illegals (read: democrat voters) who broke the law amnesty
>The right thing to do
If youre a cuck maybe

The guys on the picture aren't even jihadis. The woman was a former medical student who was tortured by commies for having anti-communist leaflet. Then there are couple of country bumpkins giving testimony of their village being massacred and one actual fighter, who was a French educated former judge.

Amnesty to illegals, war on drugs, gave weapons to jihadists
Easily one of the worst American presidents

...

Commies are more of an enemy than Islam. It was a compromise.

America's been retarded since though. Communism is dead which leaves Islam as the enemy yet Yanks still train and arm them to overthrow countries Israel doesn't like.

Sup Forums agrees Reagan was shit, this is pretty much a done deal

-amnesty for illegal immigrants

Really all you have to say.

>why do SOME conservatives worship him
because in any group of millions of people you are going to have a sizeable portion of retards lurking about. Dumb conservatives revere Reagan for the same dumb reasons that liberals revere FDR and Kennedy. 90% of US presidents have been shit. Its the nature of the game. The alternative is to have an inbred king whose only qualification is the address on his birth certificate. Most of the world did it this way for most of history. We built a country on the principle that every idiot gets a voice, so we're never going to elect an expert on foreign policy and world history who looks like shit on TV. We will always have a slick-talking bullshit artist, so the best we can hope for is to try to find the best possible slick-talking bullshit artist and hope he does ok.

How much do you know about the political context of this interaction? You should consider the possibility that the leadership in power at the time had a much better understanding of the situation than you do right now. They also lacked the benefit of prescient knowledge that the US would become much more anti-islamic, with good reason, after 9/11. At the time they were just anti-commie rag heads who were willing to fight the soviet-backed commie rag heads so we helped them out.

The world is not a fucking RPG where you have a choice between a good, neutral, or evil course of action. Your post is babby's first critical thought.

Fyi, the government of Afghanistan asked the Soviets for help to defeat numerous jihadist groups financed by NATO. Doesn't it ring a bell?

what kind of fucked up incantation is this
