Why does Ghouliani hate Reagan so much

[rpannier]

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been arguably the most frank and vocal critic of President Barack Obama's proposal to vastly limit and ultimately eliminate the potential use and supply of nuclear weapons. In an interview with The National Review on Tuesday, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate called Obama's vision "inept," a liberal fantasia.

"A nuclear-free world has been a 60-year dream of the Left," he said, "just like socialized health-care. This new policy, like Obama's government-run health program, is a big step in that direction."


If only things were so black and white. Of course, one of Giuliani's political heroes, Ronald Reagan, once said that nuclear weapons were "totally irrational, totally inhumane, good for nothing but killing, possibly destructive of life on earth and civilization." Indeed, while he irked his detractors for years over a seemingly endless arms buildup, Reagan was, by his own telling, firmly committed to the abolition of nuclear weapons.

Reagan wrote in his diary that the film (the Day After) "left me greatly depressed," and that it changed his mind on the prevailing policy on a "nuclear war".<2> In 1987 during the era of Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika reforms, the film was shown on Soviet television. During the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty at Reykjavik, Meyer received a telegram from President Reagan that said, 'Don't think your movie didn't have any part of this, because it did.'<3>

No matter what you think of Reagan or the movie The Day After, it's great fodder to beat the reich wing up with
Every chance I have to use Reagan against them I do.

1. Because some people actually liked Ronald Reagan?

Not that Reagan wasn't a despicable human being, but he did charm others. Ghouliani is full of shit on everything he talks about, and even New Yorkers hated his guts both before and after 9-11. He's too stupid to realize Obama's policy change echoes what Reagan aimed to do before he left office.
