I remember sitting in class in 1980 - that was the seventh grade for me - when reagan was inaugurated and the hostages were released… By November, 1985 I had joined the Marines… In March of ‘86, I was cheering Ollie North on as he gave those dirty politicians what they deserved - undisguised contempt …
My, how things change.
Even I, liberal to the extreme, had not put together these facts:
* Carter stood up to terrorists
* Reagan negotiated with terrorist (Arms for hostages/Iran Contra) and capitulated to them in Lebanon
When Digby put them together for me, it really resonated. Hopefully it will also resonate with"
