Unless you're Ronald Reagan, of course

My Congressman doesn't do history
In a statement, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, praised U.S. special forces and the intelligence community for rescuing two hostages in Somalia this week.  ..."Unlike others, this nation does not negotiate with terrorists. We fight them wherever they threaten our interests and our citizens," he added.
My congressman, Mike Rogers, is really quite embarrassing. Unfortunately the district I live in is probably 60% Republican - most of all of them sheep too stupid to know current events much less the facts about their hero Reagan, who of course had no problem giving thousands of missiles to Iran in his 'negotiations with terrorists' and he ran like a coward when those same Iranian-back terrorists killed 241 our Marines in Beirut just less than two years before.

My congressman and Republicans in my district are stupid and ignorant of history, but believe me, I'm going to keep reminding them about the truth.
