Much more to come.
GDANSK, Poland--When talking about Ronald Reagan, I have to be personal. We in Poland took him so personally. Why? Because we owe him our liberty. This can't be said often enough by people who lived under oppression for half a century, until communism fell in 1989".....Lech Walesa. June 2004.
Bunch or Walesa? Bunch or Walesa? hmmmmmm..it's close, but I'll have to take Walesa's opinion.
Sad, isn't it, when far-right Republican lunatic toadies are reduced to repeatedly clinging to foreign labor leaders in order to decide what opinions to have?
Congrats, Will. I'm sure hank will be proud.

So he plagiarized the title? No biggie. It's not like anyone will notice. This book will sell 10 copies at most. How many trees will be sacrificed so Will can spew his hate towards a dead president?
Plagiarized? You idiot, Reagan never said anything about myths. As if hanksperka isn't a plagiarized name of the late tv reporter? Please, go get a life.
Myth? Reagan was legend. And legends are based in truth.
Like the truth that he started the NeoConservative revolution that destroyed the GOP and placed us in the situation we are in today?

That whole Reagan thing is just a myth. People are attributing things to him that aren't true to advance their political agenda. It's kin of sad. By the way, pay no attention to the community organizer behing the curtain who, by the sheer magnitude of his presence, is going to transform America and the entire world into one big Coke commercial. "I'd like to teach the world to sing.."
Reagan was a mere shell by the end of this first term. He advocated racism and became a lacky for the elite. He happened to be there when the Soviet Union finally collapsed yet his disciples believe that he caused it. LOL. He cast one of the first stones in the current sinking of this nation. He should've remained a bad actor. Good riddance.
Oh boy Will. Better cover your head with something to protect yourself from the s#@t storm that is going to rain down on you. Right wing trolls worship Reagan the way people at Jonestown worshiped Jim Jones. Right wing sheep worship the man as a God. Beware the Jelly Bean Kool-Aid.
Reagan has been the most overrated president in recent history. It is actually fun to watch the right wing go into epileptic fits over any criticism of the man-or should I say saint?
Reagan was a legend in his own mind--oops, he didn't have that either
"Myth? Reagan was legend. And legends are based in truth."
Well, trolls would know about legends, that is true.
