Ronald Reagan did not compare the Mujahideen (Afghan Freedom Fighters who morphed into the Taliban) to our Founding Fathers. He compared the Contras (Nicaraguan Freedom Fighters who beheaded nuns) to our Founding Fathers. I am SO TIRED of this nonsense. I even posted the photo someone ELSE put on my Facebook wall, with the FLIPPING correct information, and what happens? Someone shared just the photo, not the CORRECT information. Holy shit! Aren't liberals supposed to be smarter than this? I'm a liberal, and I knew who he was talking about 20 FLIPPING YEARS AGO! I've had this happen with articles I write-people read the title, and comment on that. I'm sorry, are you SOOO busy that you can't bother reading the whole thing? Are you so tired that you can't verify a QUOTE? Am I pissed? YES! I dealt with this exact same stupid photo a week or so ago, and now it's back. Try this: Google Reagan Quote About Contras Founding Fathers. Actually, here:
{Battling the Cuban-backed Sandinistas, the Contras were, according to Reagan, "the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers." Under the so-called Reagan Doctrine, the CIA trained and assisted this and other anti-Communist insurgencies worldwide.}

Clear? We good? We done with that photo now? I hope so, because it would really cramp my writing style if I had to throw my computer out onto the lawn.
Thank you. AUGH!
