Reagan was the example of what a LEADER of our country should be. Since then, we've had Billy the adulterer and Obama the thug. Even Bush is now more liked than the one in there now
nice article on him

Eleven years ago, June 5, 2004, Ronald Reagan left this world for the next. In the days that followed, America witnessed sights unseen since the death of John F. Kennedy — people keeping all-night vigils to touch his casket and say goodbye, lining highways by the thousands to express their gratitude, affection, and love.
Those born after Reagan’s presidency might wonder: What was it about this man that evoked then — and still does today — such deep, heartfelt admiration?
History tells the answer. From 1981 through 1989, Ronald Reagan led a great American comeback. He not only achieved what his critics said would be impossible; he made it seem easy. His leadership transformed a sputtering U.S. economy into a rocket of growth that led to a generation of prosperity. He restored a neglected U.S. military and its alliances, engineering the eventual defeat of the Soviet empire, without starting a war and without firing a shot. Through it all, he revived America’s spirit, restored our hopes, and strengthened our faith.
Despite his astonishing success, some dismiss Reagan as no longer relevant to America and its 21st-century challenges. We should beg to differ. While issues and conditions change, people’s motivations and goals do not.
They still revolve around home, family, and their hopes and dreams for the future. Moreover, Reagan grasped more than just what was timeless — he had a great capability for adapting to changing realities.
He understood growth. He had a sharp eye for danger and recognized the leader’s duty to prepare and protect. And, his profound respect for the dignity, rights, and responsibilities of the individual, rooted in constitutional principles and 5,000 years of Judeo-Christian history and tradition, would equip a leader well to deal wisely with the contentious issues that preoccupy our country today.
Of Reagan’s many strengths, four in particular enabled him to connect with the American people in almost magical and unassailable ways. These gifts of leadership would be as welcomed and valuable in 2015 as 35 years ago. Perhaps even more so.
First, Reagan united America. He never sought to divide. He always spoke to us as “we” – citizens connected by the same love for America, the same values of family, faith, neighborhood, work, peace, and freedom.
He opened his 1980 campaign at Liberty State Park in Hudson County, New Jersey — the first Republican to visit that blue-collar county in twelve years. Standing in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, he embraced the entire nation. “We share the same dreams,” he said, and added, “I’ve come here because I believe millions of Democrats are just as unhappy with the way things are as the rest of us are.”
ALL of it here:

RR. and RN, never knew them...Reagan couldn't get elected GOP dog catcher today. He wasn't a total fucking loon and he could cut a deal. The GOP rejects such things out of hand now...
Blah blah blah. Only if Karl Marx could be president.
Did you figure that out all by yourself.....................or did someone have to explain it to you.Reagan isn't coming back.
