Ich meine es ist ein Unterschied ob man nun seien gegner, den man ja ruhig bekämpfen kann, noch wieter provoziert, insbesondere wenn man merken könnte, dass die andere Seite immer mehr von paranoia und verliererangst gepeinigt wird und da war Reagans terminologie einfach fehl am Platz.

Zitat:Außerdem ist es ja auch ein bißchen Quark, wenn du dich jetzt einfach mal auf die Zahlen vom Schwarzbuch desommunismus beziehst und damit die Sowjetunion der 80ger jahre damit brandmarkst und mit den verbrechen des ganzen Sowjetkommunismus oder Kommunismus im allgemeinen gleichsetzt.
Die UdSSR unter Andropow und tschernjenkow war sicher kein demokratisches Paradies und Gulags gab es immer noch, aber mit den Schreckenszeiten unter Stalin oder den Schweineren der Roten Khmer in kambodscha oder den Verwüstungen der Kulturrevolution in China hat das wenig zu tun!
Das waren jeweils in ihrer Periode schon echte reiche des Bösen - aber die Sowjetunion in den 80ger Jahren und dann noch unter dem von Anfang an zu reformen bereiten Gorbatschow... also ich bitte dich Merowig, ein bißchen mehr zeitliche Differenzierung in deiner terminologie und deiner Evaluation zu berücksichtigen!

Zitat:UND einstecken kann ich auch gut!

Zitat:Und was nun machiavelli an geht, also gelesen hab ich ihn noch nicht, aber keine Angst die Grundaussagen kenn ich schon, aber so nun als prinzipielle handlungsgrundlage ist mir das Ding einfach ein bißchen zu einseitig!
Ich sag ja immer: Von casus zu casus muss man differenzieren!

Dear Americans: Letters from the Desk of Ronald Reagan
edited by Ralph E. Weber and Ralph A. Weber (Broadway, 372 pp., $26)

Public outcry eventually convinced CBS to drop its biopic “The Reagans,” starring Barbra Streisand’s husband as a buffoonish, mean-spirited Ronald Reagan (it was run on Showtime instead). But the episode served as a reminder that the keepers of the culture—Hollywood, the mainstream media, and the academy—continue to have it in for Reagan. And while journalists and watchdogs like Matt Drudge and Brent Bozell did an admirable job in bringing the film’s biases to light, one cannot help but wish that the Great Communicator had been healthy enough to speak for himself. Thankfully, in recent years a number of books have been published that permit him to do precisely that, bringing together speeches, essays, and letters written by the former president. Each collection reveals a different facet of Reagan’s politics and character, untainted by Hollywood’s filter. The most recent of these documentary histories is Dear Americans: Letters from the Desk of Ronald Reagan, which brings together some 300 letters that the president wrote during his two terms in office, and provides a glimpse into a man far different from the CBS/Showtime fabrication.

Zitat:Reagan: Champion of conservative politics

By MIKE FEINSILBER
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
Ronald Reagan, an infectiously optimistic president who forged an enduring relationship with the American people, dedicated his presidency to two goals - the destruction of Soviet communism abroad and the reduction of government at home. He lived to see the first achieved, if not the second.

The nation's 40th president, he was the most conservative since Herbert Hoover, and the first to hold office for two full terms since Dwight D. Eisenhower at mid-century. Elected in 1980 at age 69, Reagan left office at 77, the oldest president to serve. He died Saturday at age 93.

Zitat:Reagan and Thatcher: 'It would take a crowbar to get them apart'
By David Wastell
(Filed: 06/06/2004)

When a former California governor telephoned Margaret Thatcher after the election victory that brought her to power in May 1979, he was not put through. Civil servants judged that, although Ronald Reagan was the first foreign politician to attempt to congratulate Britain's new Prime Minister, he was not sufficiently important.
For three days he persisted until, finally, he was permitted to speak to Mrs Thatcher, now Baroness Thatcher. He received a warm reception and, fortunately, for Britain, he was not put out by being made to wait.

Zitat:Ronald Reagan, 1911-2004
The former president died today, but his legacy will influence American politics for decades
By TONY KARON
President Ronald Reagan is dead, but his legacy not only lives on; it dominates the American political landscape. Today many of the core principles of the "Reagan Revolution" that began with his victory over President Jimmy Carter in 1980 remain conventional wisdom not only for the Republican Party he remade in his own image, but also for the Democrats. The greatest tribute to a president's political impact is the adoption of his most popular ideas by his opponents — and when President Clinton spoke of ending the era of "big government" and reforming welfare, he knew full well that those ideas were brought into the Beltway by President Reagan.
