When the liberal lemmings ever prove that Reagan advocated for UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS, then they might have a point. He didn't do that, so as usual the liberals are pointless and clueless.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Unless, of course, you consider Reagan's support for a ban on assault-style weapons to be "respectful" of the Holy Second Amendment. In which case, it's not disrespectful of Obama, either.

A) Don't discredit a message via the medium. It's 2013. Social media is very important, and will only grow in importance

B) the substance of the tweet was not vapid; this wasn't some red meat zinger that riled up the dumber folks in the base ala Palin Style. Obviously foreign affairs requires a different set of standards, but it does expose a gulf in consistency.

It's very rare to run across an intelligent and insightful liberal. I tip my hat to you sir (or ma'am.)

Is it possible you truly don't get it?

Why yes, it's true. You really don't get it.

How sad is that???

Nearly all liberals consistently disapprove of the tax code, as do conservatives.

Troll better.

Sure they do. That's why they gave it to us starting in 1913 (Pres. Woodrow Wilson, liberal) and continued adding to it all these years. Just as they gave us a 20,000 pages of ObamaCare regs.

I'd respect more an official that COMMUNICATES, however they choose. As opposed to a president that CAN'T communicate without a teleprompter, and doesn't know a thing that's going on around him.
