In the words of Ronald Reagan.....(SS)
"For too long, too many people dependent on Social Security have been cruelly frightened by individuals seeking political gain through demagoguery and outright falsehood, and this must stop," Reagan said. "The future of Social Security is much too important to be used as a political football."

2. The modern pseudo-Reaganites who now invoke his ghost
don't have a clue about compassion, empathy, sympathy, or humanism. They are trapped in the illusion of self-absorption, and cannot acknowledge to themselves that their obsessions contradict everything true traditional conservatism ever advocated. As a result, they are no longer human, having given up everything that separates us from other animals.

All this, while laughingly claiming to be "special creations".

The last true conservative was Theodore Roosevelt. Reagan put an end to that philosophy once and for all.

3. That would be great if logic and rational discussion worked on
right-wing nazis. It doesn't. These people's beliefs can exist in a vacuum, unchallenged by reality.
