Enough with Reagan-philia!
It’s gone too far. It’s gone far too freakin’ far. George Will blasts the Reagan-philes in his usual erudite way.
Mind you, I think pretty highly of Reagan–in my thought process that politicians should have a few simple, core beliefs that they govern from and never but never stray–but talk of putting a “Reagan Memorial” on the Mall? Please. Reagan goes as either the best or second-best president post-WWII [obviously, Kennedy would be the alternative in that discussion], but did either irretrievably and irrevocably change the American landscape? Not really. Now Roosevelt, yes, did, but only in cementing the concept of entitlement in the American mindset. Were the man not dead, I think I would cause him great harm for that…

Let’s see, what did the Reagan years give to us: Iran-scam, double-digit mortgage rates, Oliver North and other assorted idiots, Savings & Loan Scandal, letting the tobacco criminals continue to run free, “Star Wars” military waste, Nancy’s inane, “Just Say No” routine.
Reagan was the “teflon” brain!
