Mike do you admire the fact that Reagan treasonously subverted the American government with the Iran-Contra affair and then left his subordinates to hang for it? Or is it the short term high-interest loans he committed us to prop up the economy while he was in office you like? Maybe the huge homeless problem he created by turning mentally ill people out of institutions and onto the street?
Reagan wasn't that damned popular while he was in office. He should have been impeaced for Iran-Contra but he hid behind a shield of senility, absolving himself of all blame for the actions of his administration. This 'Reagan was a great man' shit is just historical revisionism by the modern day masters of propaganda, the Republican Party.
I'm waiting for them to try to rename Mt. Rushmore in his honor. It'll happen.
