If you think Reagan was a great President this is what you believe in
Facts can be tricky things to deal with. You can build up an image of a person in your mind and be told that he represents "morning in America" and stood up for "American values." To get a clear understanding of who Ronald Reagan was, (as a President who enacted, promoted and signed legislation, not as a "symbol") then we must study his record.
1. Reagan increased taxes to deal with a soaring budget several times. (sounds like a socialist)
2. Reagan repeatedly raised the national debt limit. (I guess he might also be a commie)
3. Reagan signed into law a bill granting amnesty to millions of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. (He must hate America and "people who play by the rules."
4. Reagan oversaw an increase in the size and spending of the Federal government. (If government is the problem, why would he increase the size of the government?)
If those aren't enough facts to make you question your political beliefs let us look at what he did as Governor of California.
1. He enacted what was at the time the largest state tax increase in U.S. history. (more taxes!)
2. As governor he signed into law one the most permissive abortion laws in the country. (but I thought he was a Godly man?)
3. He blocked the creation of a highway that would have linked Fresno with Mammoth. (He hates jobs and loves the environment!) Environmental wacko!!
If we look at Ronnies personal life (and it's fair game when you invoke morals and God in your speeches) he also left his long in the tooth first wife for the younger, prettier model. (Like John McCain, Newt, etc)
So when you say that Reagan was your favorite of President what you are really saying is that you love a guy that increased the deficit, raised the debt ceiling, gave millions of illegals a free pass, raised taxes, favors abortion, broke his marriage vows, blocked highway construction for the "environment" and INCREASED the size and scope of the Federal Government. These are the facts on the great Ronald Reagan. I know, I know, it might take a couple of days to set in that you are in favor of such a left-wing liberal. But guess what.......you are.

Very similar to how people say they love the bible, but ignore the parts where moses tells everyone to rape the all the women of the army he conquered, Numbers 28
Or where God tells two bears to kill a bunch of kids because they made fun of his prophets bald head
2 Kings 2
Count the hits and ignore the misses...or cherry pick from a political record, it's all the same donkey
I thought this blog was dust, good to see the feathers being ruffled again.
I for one miss the "old" Republicans like Nixon, Reagan, and Bush I. Agree or disagree with their positions, at least they had logical and intelligent thought processes and didn't completely cater to the extreme fanatics like the new breed of Bachmann, Palin, and Perry are doing. Nixon would be considered an "eco-terrorist" today on Fox because he signed the Endangered Species Act into law.
I do have to say Obama has brought this on himself because he's been a huge let down and quite weak when it comes to clashes with the evil empire(AKA post W. Repubs).
