Title: Glenn Greenwall and Ronald Reagan~Ron Paul View count: 1105 Rating: 5.00 (30 ratings) Description: This video explains Ron Paul's positions on diplomacy similar to Ronald Reagan's position in the past: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yRQrDbtekyo Ronald Reagan called the Soviets "The Evil Empire", yet in every single speech he went out of his way to emphasize how urgently he believed it was necessary to avoid military conflict with the Soviets. He was in a way desperate to achieve a negotiated peace with the Soviet Union meeting with Gorbachev many times and made agreements with him. If you look at the people (and I'm not saying Gmason08 is one of them) now defending these Bush policies who claim there are these people that we can't possibly negotiate with and we need to wage a series of war one after the other calling those who think rational are some how appeasers of the Neo-Nazi Germany such as Iran. That we who are find all the options against war and keep War as a last result are the new Nebel Chamberlain and that we are guilty of indifference of evil. If you go back and look at the debates in the 1980's the same people now hold up Ronald Reagan as their icon, but thats not what they were saying about Ronald Reagan in the 1980s they were calling him the Nebel Chamberlain of our country and Newt Gingrich the meeting he had with Gorbachev were most dangerous meetings since Nebel Chamberlain went and met with the chancellor of Germany. Ronald Reagan was not a moral absolutist in terms on how he made decisions, while George W. Bush is the opposite he was grounded in moral absolutism "it did not change, it cannot change" because he's convinced on the rode to righteousness. He feels he's engaged in a crusade that is moralistic first and foremost. Which i feel distinguish the Bush mindset from every other president we've had and accounts for all of these policies.
