And from a blogger at ofrankenfactor.com:

"Reagan's real legacy is not the 'defeat of communism', it is the entrenchment of narrow blinkered ideology over reason. It is the institutionalization of the advancement of the privileged few at the expense of the majority, it is the promulgation of action without consequence or accountability. It is the establishment of the means by which the supposed servants of the nation have become the nation's masters, and the original model of America as a land of tolerance and freedom, equality and justice, conscience, humanity and social progress have been sold to the basest elements of human nature--greed, power and violence.

Were it not for Reagan, we might not have had George Bush, representative of the "free" world, of the Declaration of Independence, reviled in his own country and throughout the world.

Thanks Ron. Nobody's perfect,and it's not all your fault, there is some blame to be shared. May you rest in peace and take comfort that, as deluded, stupid and mendacious as you were, GW has got you licked."
