And yes I hate Reagan with a passion, so much so that I wish they would plumb an outhouse to his tomb and pay people to shit in it.
But just because I can see Reagan for the pathological evil greedy son of bitch that he was, doesn't mean that I have to be ideologically blind to the many other individual lessor and greater evils.
It is just as sad as it is true, that elite special interest have used the both political parties in America as a facade to advance an agenda that has been in the making even long before Reagan.

I don't think it's traitorous to labor to have produced the easy to understand explanation of how labor has been affected, regardless of his role under Clinton.
To do nothing from the point of that frustration would have been traitorous. Your blistering over his SOL role leave out anything he's done or tried to do (example, this movie, which I don't have to go to a theater to see, as I did to see "Inconvenient Truth" is evidence of how his role is one of benefit now.
It's easy to criticize and it's very hard to do. I know this at the local level and from what history teaches me about others like RR.
