OT Enough of the Gipper already (the TRUE legacy)
That's too harsh.
So many people today think that others are "good" or "bad" people depending
upon whether their philosophies are similar to , or different than, their own.
Ronald Reagan had some screwed up principles, (in my subjective view), but he
was actually guided by those prinicples rather than the latest political poll.
He became president because America decided it needed a person with his
chracteristics, rather than because he successfully reinvented himself in an
image of what he thought the American electorate wanted.
I dislike Ronald Reagan's politics, but I have to admire the guy's style and
the sincere leadership he brought to the office.
Even though I would disagree with his philosophies, he was a good, rather than
a bad person.
