By the way, in 1987, after my first visit to the United States, Vice President Bush accompanied me to the airport, and told me: "Reagan is a conservative. An extreme conservative. All the blockheads and dummies are for him, and when he says that something is necessary, they trust him. But if some Democrat had proposed what Reagan did, with you, they might not have trusted him."

He's irrelavant attention whore material..

Huh?

Gorby.

lol

And you believe Gorbachev why?

Gorbachev, hmmmm, isn't he the guy with the birthmark shaped like camden nj on his forehead.

And your point is what? Couldn't this be said of any politician and their respective followers, liberal, conservative, or otherwise?

FuzzNJ worships Soviets and Godless communists.

...Our story begins with the birth of FuzzNJ on the East Coast of the United States, some 4 decades ago.

While Fuzz was mostly happy about having been born in the first place (he did know that it was better than the alternative), he felt almost cheated by the fact that he was not born someplace else--someplace with a different economic system, a different political system, a country with fewer conservatives perhaps...

At night sometimes, he would find himself laying in bed, eyes wide open and completely awake, staring at the ceiling and mouthing the words,

"Why? Why was I not born someplace else? Someplace better..."

We are all a bunch of dufus here. Fuzz posted a quote or paraphrase from an interview with a world historical figure for the sake of promoting a thoughtful discussion. Nothing more. Nothing less. now, lets see if that can even possibly happen without personal attacks, slights, diminution, name calling and the like...

^ What? We cannot tease and play?

^You can, but only because you understand exactly what I meant...

"for the sake of promoting a thoughtful discussion."

I've pretty much given up on that here !!! lol

Interesting quote thought... Sounds like Sr. would have said that, a moderate as compared to RR... I liked both and wish either one was running this place right now...

I always liked that thing on his head.

the one on gorby's head is sort of cool too.

Yep. Moderation is what we need--sadly we currently seem to have the 'pendulum' at an extreme.

Fenst--we're on the same page. Fuzz has shown an ability to take 'it' (as well as a desire to keep getting 'it'-- as evidenced by the nature of his threads).

I don't think it bothers him.

I also think there is a pretty good guy there. I'd be happy to smoke and drink w/him as long as we avoided the subject of politics.

chief... you the one that scalped gorby?

scalped, AND tattooed!

wow he must have had heap firewater in him

it was long, long ago--before pain was invented.

Say, wasn't Gorby the guy that was shown driving around Moscow in a tank?
