3. The ACLU helped get North off the charges.
Another irony of the right. They hate the ACLU whether the ACLU is for North, Limbaugh etc.

Ronald Reagan was a guy who could tell you everything's great and get the majority to believe it even if stats showed he was lying. I never liked his acting until he became president.

8. Yep. Same ol' criminals.
I knew we were screwed when I saw the line-up of Dubya's cabinet and advisors in 2000--his daddy & Reagan's old criminal buddies, many of them anyway.
