Does your honor and integrity include the language and accusations you have made elsewhere, GUEST? I know many people of honor and integrity. They don't use the kind of sexual innuendo and language you do.

I find this whole Reagan Rapture business to be an accurate description of what is going on. Typical of a media created kind of thing, and seconded by the Reaganites. Fact is that this man, in the long view, will be remembered as being an also ran among the great Presidents. It is true that he communicated well, and even among his adversaries he was known as a nice fellow. But when the history is written he will be remembered for creating some of the greatest deficits in history, and for Iran Contra. The bunk about his ending the Cold War is just that. He was a player, to be sure. But what he really was was a closer. The Cold War ended because the Soviet Union was built on an economic house of cards. I will give him credit for some fair moves in the end game, but the outcome was predetermined.

I find the hoopla and short memory of my fellow Yanks to be very disturbing.

P.S. GUEST, I know you will think I am just stalking you, but I just happened to read the thread. Honest.
