Stumble ThisSean Hannity compares and contrasts Barack Obama's weak stand on Iran to Ronald Reagan's support of Polish freedom fighters back in 1981.

Anyone who would equate the situations in Poland and Iran can't possibly have a working brain.
*history
Why would anybody bother to listen to Hannity and conservatives after the debacle they created in Iraq and Afghanistan?
When will those idiots learn to shut up?
The similarity to the situation in Iran is that it too is bordered by countries presently occupied by U.S. troops, has been subject to intimidating rhetoric from the U.S., and is nearby to Russia (sharing a trade border via the Caspian Sea). Many of the conflicts the U.S. has been involved with since the conclusion of WWII have had the partial aim of creating either a firm foothold or civil unrest about the doorstep of the Soviet Union--to "prevent the spread of socialism."
Reagan's comments in 1981 did little to defuse the cold war. If nothing else, his threats likely heightened existing tensions, and the cold war itself. Hannity seems to want to step back into the Fear-driven state that the Cold War was, when the tyranny of Fear was used to whither personal liberties in exchange for state-provided personal "safety" set in motion by McCarthyism.
The difference now is that most people are weary of occupying foreign lands, and tired of footing the bill for such imperialistic conquests to the sole benefit of war profiteers. The comments made by Obama and his administration reflect those wishes not to create even more conflicts than they are engaged in already. Earlier this year in his statements to Iran, Obama made effort to extend an olive branch to take the chill off that diplomatic climate. Rescinding that gesture will do nothing to aid the Administration's goal of creating a sense of stability in their policy, foreign and domestic.
Besides that, America can not afford another war-not even a cold one-and most of the world knows it.
Hannity stands alone in his ignorance.
Reagan was an actor...~
Are you suggesting that that's why he appears to be wearing Rouge? I am outraged sir, outraged and appalled by your insinuation. Good day.
A cardboard cutout of Reagan would make a better president than The Teleprompesident from Kenya.
An upgrade from the last guy who could barely read the teleprompter, amiright?
Now go away.
