(5,610 posts)I go out to the local retirees bar often, during the day (not nights) because I do not want to be a hermit. Anyway, politics and our dismal outlook as Americans came up. Some dufus (retired military finance probably, never a blue collar man) said that to fix our nation.....'"we should have cloned REAGAN!"
My temper flared as I asked him to repeat himself...I told him that as a retired Union carpenter and a patriot, I thought he was an idiot.... I know.....
I informed him briefly of the harm Reagan did to America and that I believe he is the reason for our current predicament. I asked him to never talk politics to me again (he had directed his statement at me) I groom myself unlike some other patrons do.
He agreed with me on my list of Reagan's' destructive actions, yet he STILL believes that Reagan was great.
I said that FDR was the best ever president. All of the others agreed, but most of them have never even voted.....
sorry for venting
