President Reagan's Daughter Sets The Record Straight About Her Father

Patti Davis had some harsh words on how her Father would have felt about the current status of the GOP. She said her Father would have been appalled at the list of the 2016 GOP candidates. She also said her Father could not have imagined the gun violence in America that exists today. Patti said her Father supported the Brady Bill and he supported the ban on assault rifles.

Patti said her Mother, Nancy, was very happy with the Supreme Court's decision legalizing Same-Sex Marriage.

Patti said Ted Cruz is no way like her Father. She also stated that she thinks her Father would no longer want to be a Republican if he were still living today.

So, what is your opinion? Do you think Patti Davis, being the daughter of the President, knows her Father more than anyone else?

Personally, I praise Patti Davis for opening up about her Father. I do not think President Reagan would be happy with the shameful gun violence in America and that he would be supportive of stricter gun control laws in the United States. I also praise Nancy Reagan for supporting Marriage Equality in the United States and I think the GOP should acquiesce and accept it.

To be fair Patti, like her brother Ron, opposed Republican ideas even when her father was president. She was also one of the ones who early on outed the Iran Contra deal. Apparently she was listening to what was being wispered behind closed doors.

Plus Patti and Ron's atheism and the fact that Reagan never actually went to church while president leads some to the speculation that Reagan was less of a beleiver than the beleiver he had to pretend to be because his backers also marketed to conservative Christians.

 

Reagan went crazy in office and used that to get out of IRAN/CONTRA. He literally used "i'm old and I forget things" as an excuse for the whole affair. No one sane gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) what Reagan thought.

 

** Addendum **

I have to make a correction. Patti Davis said that her Father supported the ban on "assault weapons" which would be a broader category than "assault rifles."

 

So? many presidents go to church for appearance sake.

I think the point is that Reagan could be forceful and decisive without being crude.. .. and really Trump is awfully sensitive.. He's always talking about people must be nice to him or they have hurt his feeeelings... and he's quick to be spiteful and return fire if he thinks he's suffered a slight..

He's petulant if he is called on the facts..

 

I am what could be called a libertarian on religion in that I do not are what religion someone is. I have why I defined for myself as aI am not sure that Reagan even went to church while he was an actor in movies. I really do not care if he did or not. To me religion is a private matter.

 

Iran Contra deserved to be outed. We were selling weapons to Iran to provide money at arm terrorists in South America. That's as despicable as it comes.

 

She, like you don't know WTF you are talking about. To repeat there is no such animal as an "assault weapon".

 

Let's not forget that Reagan was preoccupied with undoing the damage done to our economy by Jimmy Carter. People were walking away from their homes and leaving the keys in the mailbox because they couldn't afford the fifteen percent interest rates.

 

To be fair? I don't see nor recall when Ron Reagan or Patty Davis was fair to their father.

 

During the 1980's there were 32 mass shootings, about the average since then. It is before the 1980's when mass shootings were in single digits to include just 1 in the decade I grew up in. Reagan took the religious right under his wing. He was very much anti abortion and even if Nancy welcomed SSM, Ronnie wouldn't have.

As part of his "Fire Arms Protection Act," it included a ban on all fully automatic weapons not currently registered. The key here is fully automatic. Not semi automatic and yes he did support the brady bill.

 

I heard on his death bed, someone asked him what he thought of being the most popular conservative president ever and he replied "best role I ever played, no one ever suspected for a moment that I am actually a left-wing Hollywood elitist.". Ok, not really, but I like to imagine it.

 

She is part of the Hollywood crowd and an actor. If she wants more work, she better talk bad about Republicans. Ron Reagan is the antithesis of his father.

 

Ronald Reagan was by no means universally loved by conservatives and all Republicans. He spent money like crazy, giving the tactic reason that the way to break the power of government was to financially wreck government. However, he likely could not project that the response of government would be to endlessly write more trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars of hot checks.

 

I get a kick when democrats go bonkers on weapons. Be specific in your charges. And tell the whole story. Israel wanted out of prison Jonathan Pollard. The guy released by Obama recently. To them, it was a great idea to help Reagan recover our hostages. I have no clue why the Democrats never cared about the hostages, but they cut them out of their story to blacken Reagan's name. What weapons you should ask. Tanks are serious trouble. To help Iran vs the Iraqi tanks, they needed what are called TOW missiles. Those resemble a common bazooka which is also a missile. TOW missiles can be guided by the shooter. Notice the terminology used by the left to describe them. These are so light weight a man can easily carry them.

Reagan had no clue what Israel was up to. It was past the weapon transfer that he was told what Israel had done. Anyway, apparently Reagan had no love for the Iraqis and it got set up more were shipped with his consent.

How do Democrats know who Obama has sent weapons to? Will they raise hell if they learn who he sent them to?

Contras. A private group did the transfer and once they owned the TOW missiles, sold to them by our government, the cash could be applied as one wishes. They wished to help the Contras. The Contras were the correct party to help but Democrats wanted the communists to get any help.

The Boland amendment got passed to help the communists. Calling the freedom fighters terrorists by democrats reminds me of them calling George Washington a terrorist.

You call the guy you hate a terrorist and the guy on the other side, also killing and destroying, he is the good guy. lol

Reagan was approached very often to free the hostages. He had the same mess on his hands that Carter had when he was in office. Reagan could not stand the drama caused by the hostages family. They kept at Reagan and he kept trying to get the hostages out.

Notice that Iran Contra did not result in jail time for over one person that I can recall.

 

FDR was the supreme spender but for him he gets all kinds of excuses made up. Reagan suggested a budget to congress. What he got back was set up behind closed doors but Reagan made America proud and managed to get the Soviets to shut it down.

 

Yeah, God bless the Contras. Those nun-raping, child mutilating, civilian murdering "freedom fighters" you love and who terrorists like ISIS emulate in their tactics.

 

yep, if you were to work in the Trump Admin, you better be a yes man... or..... YOUR FIRED

 

Well, you favor communists so not much I say will appeal to you. You do understand who Ortega was? I doubt it.

Merely because Ortega overthrew a government does not imply he had the correct government for the public.

 

So clearly the correct course of action for America was to arm a group who considered raping women good recreational activity?

 

Lets not forget he had a Dem congress to deal with.

 

The USA's response to the voluntary collapse of the USSR was one of the worst foreign and economic policy decisions in the USA history. The USA should have kept its promise and formed an economic alliance with the new Republic of Russian states. If that had been done we'd be kicking both the EU's, China's and Asian rim's economic ass. Instead, we gloated and kept up the economic cold war anyway, urging sedition and civil war in the Russian Republic.

 

But no veto proof majority.

 

Democrats who point out the spending of Reagan flat ignore that today they voted for the most massive spending president of all times.

By the time he leaves the White House, he will have put this country into almost double the debt he found when he came. Double by 10 trillion dollars, not the paltry couple trillion by Reagan in his 8 years.

It is in the record right here.

When discussing Reagan, sooner than later the topic of debt is brought in.

I showed the national debt clock.

I am posting the link for the debt of CA.
