  " ... I find that Reagan's saber-rattling is pretty
  scary.  I don't doubt that the Russians are scared of him - he scares ME,
  and he's supposed to be on my side! ... "  (allegra!nbires!rcd)

"Saber-rattling" is becoming very stagnant now.  Liberals should try
at least to keep their cliches circulating.

Apart from telling the truth about the Soviets, understandably an
unsettling thing for Conventional-Wisdom-Liberals, the current
administration has yet to deploy a single MX, the B1-B has yet
to be commissioned, it has merely carried through to completion
the Carter administrations' decision to deploy Pershing and
Cruise missiles in Europe, has rescinded a (Carter) trade-embargo
against the USSR, did nothing concrete in the face of the KAL-007
massacre, has run away from the Lebanese conflict, and has proposed
several radical schemes for reducing the nuclear weapons stock of
both countries.  This is "saber-rattling"?

Calm down, chaps.
