Ronald Reagan And The Liberal Spin

Listening to the news this week was sickening in ways I can't even communicate. One of our nation's greatest leaders Passed away over the weekend and before his body was even cold the news media started making him out to be some kind of ill-perceived hero. Or, in other words, Reagan wasn't the hero we all thought he was.

Now, to be honest I remember very little about Ron Reagan and it would be presumptuous for me to make any statements about his leadership. What I have read makes me believe he was more Libertarian than anything else. "Government isn't the solution to the problem, government IS the problem." I've heard this clip about a dozen times over three days and I've never agreed with anything more in my life.

Other things I've read tell me Reagan had a backbone etched out of cast iron. He stood up to his enemies, and lead the nation the best he could.

If I listen to Tom Brokaw or Dan Rather I would more likely believe that Ron is getting way too much fanfare and wasn't that great. But rather, he was a great verbose actor. In other words, a classic bull shitter.

I'm not surprised that the Liberals hate this man. I'm saddened that they are right in front of the line at his casket to defecate on it and spit in his face because he steered us away from Liberal thinking. Too bad for you. Not that I was believing any of your BS anyway...
