First I want to say that History is fluid based on the information at hand or possibly changing information from released records, Archeological or Anthropological findings. A good Historian will quantify and provide a Bibliography. With that said I have read enough Conservative books & articles to realize that far too often they are not only inaccurate but intentionally misleading and little more than propaganda.
Thats not ro say it does not exist on both sides, it does, but I also want to remind people that there is a middle area where I think most of us want to be, which id where I try to be and ogically is the most stable.
Here is the Book synopsis and my reply is below.
The Presidents: White House Leaders or Residents - Sal Martingano
I try to approach each article and book with an open mind, however, the supposedly well-educated Professor has an understanding of our history that is roughly equivalent to the typical American who read a book or two in their lifetime.
So lemme help Sal and the poor unsuspecting person who might fall for this terrible historical hack.
The League of Nations created a point where countries could talk and make decisions on the good of society as a whole to help prevent another massive war, to help cope with famine and other issues which inevitably affect us all.
A big mouth who railed against Socialism and Liberalism stormed onto the scene in 1933 named Adolf Hitler would help destroy the League of nations descending us into an era of nationalism and the predictable disaster which would lead us to WW2.
Next we fast forward to Ronny Reagan whom he pins as some kind of an anomaly and accidental leader. He failed to mention the Actor had already been Governor of California where he helped sign into law the state's first Emissions law. He also signed off on more evil socialism as he attacked cheap affordable firearms and squashed carrying a firearm. As POTUS He would oversee two recessions and until the next failed actor, the largest drop in the stock market in history,. He also spent America into oblivion with his Tax Cuts and the nonsense arms race. He also oversaw the most corrupt administration of the 20th century with the Iran Conta Scandle with dozens in his cabinet becoming felons.. To be fair Reagan himself was not corrupt but had Altizmers and was easily manipulated. The Russians never took him seriously as he was after all an Actor.
While Reagans policies by todays standards are extreme liberal, Phones for the Poor the ADA, 86 Assault weapons ban Etc,. with that said there is a direct correlation to his policies and the fall of the middle class.
