The two guys who were all over that cop up in Mass. and suggested that the criminal justice system is broken and plagued with problems relating to racial prejudices are now hitting the circuit with the message that the system is perfect and will allow for a fair trial for all...

This time they have outdone their capacity to make even a concealable pretense. Between the industrial destruction of Cap&Tax and the burden of Obamacare they will transform us into a third-world country...but then I think that's what they have in mind.Sorry, Countess Pelosi, Baron Reid wer'e not interested.Besides:"You reap what you sow"we country folk have lived by this natural law for several generations now, and find it unerring. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR RETIREMENT YEARS(they may be repealed!) the regressives create crises to make a pretense at solving them.

Great leadership is the fortitude to move toward freedom, liberty, civic voice and independence by supporting those that would move toward that cause and fight against those that would resist that freedom. Reagan, Thatcher and all the people who moved in that direction in those days were representative of the best of mankind.....One can not take that away even with trillions of dollars of debt and fine speeches.....with no accomplishments but cheap verbal assaults on a countries pride and historic dignity. I hope we never have to say, in the past tense that "America once stood for something"........because I know we once admired our great men and did not add shame upon our nations burdens, when at times we fell short.....but that was yesterday, when men knew what doing was...and what just talking was. Apparently now you can win a peace prize just for mentioning it while those that act for peace rot in Jails. It is strange times indeed.

Ronald Reagan was THE significant factor. Margaret Thatcher provided solid support. Pope John Paul helped as well. The Reagan Admin supported the Poles and the arms race led to the collapse of the Soviet Union as they tried to keep up with us. You bring up a good point when you say 27 countries "participated", whatever that means. Dear Art (Toronto),

Reagan's contribution to the fall of the Berlin Wall was significant, but there were other external forces that led to this collapse, the Solidarity movement in Poland started it. The United States supported Solidarity to bring down communism in Poland and in the region as well. Obama absence was notable, he was too busy to participate, well leaders of 27 European Union countries found the time to participate. Leaders that come from the right and left wing of political spectrum. I do not going to discuss about left or right wing of political spectrum.

Let's look ahead, try to correct our past mistakes and return this country to hard work is rewarded not smoke and mirror schemes.

I can't believe that no one hasn't suggested that he be removed from office. His refusal to acknowlege Ronald Reagan, applogize for country's so called mistakes and the most recent outrage is that he is so bent on maintaining his political status that he won't call a terrorist a terrorist.
