    Ronald Reagan And Pope John Paul II: The Partnership That Changed The World
    https://www.hoover.org/research/rona...-changed-world



    Recorded on September 26, 2018.

    Did President Reagan and Pope John Paul II have a secret alliance or simply an aligned foreign policy strategy that helped end the Cold War? Former attorney general to President Reagan Edwin Meese III answers these questions and more in this episode of Uncommon Knowledge.

    Edwin Meese III discusses how Reagan’s experience with communist factions attempting to infiltrate Hollywood’s unions while he was an actor made him uniquely suitable for handling the Cold War as president. He understood Stalinism’s techniques for spreading propaganda and had already spent several years defeating communism in Hollywood long before it was asked of him as president.

    Religion in particular was anathema to Stalinism. Reagan’s personal faith as a Protestant and Pope John Paul II’s and the president’s mutual admiration and respect enabled the two world leaders to form a cooperative geopolitical relationship. According to Meese, Reagan and John Paul II had similar goals in ending the oppressive influence of the Soviet regime in Eastern Europe—Poland in particular, as the pope’s native country. The two leaders were able to coordinate their efforts to put increasing political, economic, and information pressure on the Soviet Union and general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, which in the end helped bring about the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    Meese stresses the importance of understanding history for younger generations, particularly the history of the Cold War and the oppressive influence of communism during that time. It was important to end the Soviet regime’s hold behind the Iron Curtain and free the captive nations.

    You're welcome. Joe Biden said last week, or so, how we have to invest in public schools because of developed nations our children are now in last place. I foung this laughable because of the fact it's the Liberal Socialist Democrats (aka Progressives) that have run the education system for the last 80 years. Now Bozo Joe smiles to camera and says the LSD party must fix their own screw up. I don't think so Joe, you had your fair shot at education for decades, you failed.

    Insanity is doing the same thing, and more of it, and expecting different results. Joe the DUMBO.

    Yes, that is one answer to saving the next generation, getting kids out of those public propaganda warehouses.

    Oh man . . .

    Did you know that America spends more per student than any other country? Strike One against Taliban Joe.

    Here is the Big Strike Two: I learned this from John Stossel: Since the 50's we have doubled the number of teachers in classrooms but we have increased by a factor of x8 the number of school administrators of various sorts.

    Do you grasp what that means? Most education spending goes to pencil-pushing losers who don't do a damn thing. We could drastically cut education spending AND double the number of teachers at the same time.

    Every time you hear a Democrat say they want money for education, what they really want is money for teacher unions who will in turn vote for them.

    Democrats don't give a damn about the actual kids.

    Did you know that just about everything that isn't a commodity costs more in the US?

    At a local level, who do we vote for who sets property taxes? Need to get involved at that level.

    Because for the most part, (Outside of the Pound and Euro's) the dollar has more buying power than other currencies....

    Though, I'm not an economist or anything like that.
