One of the most powerful foreign policy decisions that I think was made in our lifetime was one that Ronald Reagan made early in his presidency when he fired the air traffic controllers....What it did, it showed our allies around the world that we were serious and more importantly that this man to our adversaries was serious.

Years later, documents released from the Soviet Union showed that that exactly was the case. The Soviet Union started treating [Reagan] more seriously once he did something like that. Ideas have to have consequences. And I think [President Barack Obama] has failed mainly because he's made threats and hasn't followed through on them.

PolitiFact's conclusion: "For a statement that is false and ridiculous, our rating is Pants on Fire." But Walker shouldn't feel too bad. After all, Reagan was also famous for making up facts and evidence that didn't exist, so Walker is just taking after his hero. What's more, Reagan's fantasies never hurt him much. Maybe they won't hurt Walker either.

1. God dammit I am so sick of these morons...twisted disgusting liars and assholes

How many of our sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters will they send to die in a war for profit?

How many civil rights will be taken from Americans?

How many more need to be poor before these assholes will be happy?

2. The Kochtopus is propping up Walker and so the answer to all 3 questions

is found in their hubris and greed.

4. Nor have they the slightest bit of introspection.

They're like locusts moving across the plains and devouring everything in sight.
