Allowing any non-profitt fed support for things like clinics in neighborhoods and small towns greatly reduced the cost of basic health care for the working poor and poor. His faith was a definite plus. I won't trash his legacy. <br />Reagen was not as much a free trader as people think. He was more a fair trade guy. He really went after a lot of the subsidized imports and did his best to see to it that American goods got a fare shake over sees. He was able to get other things like limits on imported cars and the 75% rule for automobiles. <br />Unfortunately Bush gets stuck with the legacy of lax airport security which allowed for the airplanes to be hijacked and then for not having fighter patrols up on top of that. All of that falls squarley upon the pres.. I have grass rooted for decades now and I had zero answer for any of those accusations other than they're right.<br /><br />You are also correct. There is no perfect answer and likely will never be; at least until Jesus comes back, in which men can have perfect faith in governance by Jesus. After all how would they bribe him who already has it all.Starsplashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104986136505112560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-1808692267997996562010-11-02T09:01:59.270-04:002010-11-02T09:01:59.270-04:00In the end, parties are merely vehicles.

It has needed, and is getting, a good tune-up. <br /><br />But it needs an overhaul. I agree it will take a few elections, and beyond.

But Reagan created the conservative base w/in the Republican Party. Time to reclaim it. DeMint and others have been saying it. <br /><br />Star ... what can I say? I understand, but ... time to get beyond it. Bear in mind, a lot of people hated GWB for his faith and love of country, too. And he cut taxes and nominated the best S.C. justices of any president. Ever. <br /><br />Love my man, Reagan. But Reagan passed amnesty, as well, and was a free-trader. You could make some of the same criticisms against Ronaldus Magnus, even though he was a true conservative, in my view. <br /><br />Let's be cautious in looking for the perfect answer.

Worthless politicians and sluts who went to DC to party and snatch the brass ring of being set for life.<br /><br />Ronald Reagan went there to actually accomplish something.

Most of the people we should be angry at for screwing us aren't even around now. They checked out.<br />But of course, there are plenty in obama's camp who are doing way too much damage, and many republicans who won't get in the game to stand up and in the way.

America does not want a one worlder President. Also bush let a career politician tell him how to run the war. Rumsfeld was like an ancient Spartan. All about the infantry, and thought that because of our technological advantage we could do the job with fewer men. It is a proven fact that we can conquer a nation with fewer men than ever in the history of the world but frankly it take's lots and lots of boots on the ground to subdue it afterwards. I am glad that you like Bush but I can't say that I am so enamoured with the man. He weren't all that great.<br />Had of Obama of focused completely on the economy and waited until after this election to go for health care....naw. The fix was in and he dumped so much money into the supply system that he was never going to be thought of as a great pres. If he would have known what he was doing coupled with that tongue of his I thought he had the potential to be a G. Washington or Lincoln or Kennedy or Reagan. <br />Reagan....now there is a man. The President of our generation. The man. The guy we get to talk about. I think his bust should be chiseled into Rushmore to be admired for a thousand years.Starsplashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104986136505112560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-42374182774721685672010-11-01T17:43:07.353-04:002010-11-01T17:43:07.353-04:00Amen, Sub.

Like yourself I remember how Reagan was viewed with disdain by the Republican elite, how all the "intellectuals" seemed to faint when he spoke in a forthright and blunt manner. <br /><br />Everything old is new again.
