    Reagan The Liberal



    It is absolutely true that Ronald Reagan is the most influential President in the 20th Century after FDR. And its true that Reagan died a Republican. But did you know that Ronald Reagan was in fact a LIBERAL for thirty years of his life? I?m certain many of my Republican readers are hyperventilating at this point, probably asking themselves how I can say such a thing about their hero. But the fact remains that Reagan was a liberal and that liberalism influenced some of what Reagan did during his presidency between 1981 and 1989.

    Story continues here...

      The phrase originated with Francois Guisot (1787-1874): "Not to be a
      republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is
      proof of want of head."

        I was aware of that. He was a Union head or something like that as well.

          RR and Nixon are/were to the left of most democrats today. The republicans are great at moving the goalposts.

              Not hyperventilating. Just like other intelligent human beings when he encountered new information and underwent new experiences, he tried to align it with his existing belief set. When there was a conflict, he chose to realign his belief set and switched from liberal to conservative. The reverse can also be true, Garry Wills and Arianna Huffington started out as conservatives and became liberal.

              It happens. The important thing is not to let pride, shame, or fear of loss get in the way when it comes to a "conversion moment" and you have to change your thinking. Ego is the biggest impediment of personal change.

                    Maybe if you didn't have our head so far up your ass, you would know Reagan was a Democrat at first.


                    I didn't leave the democratic party, it left me
                    Ronald Reagan

                    Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
                    Ronald Reagan


                    The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
                    Ronald Reagan


                    But did you know that the most liberal president in the history of the US, Abe Lincoln was the first Republican?

                    Just because I think Obama is a shitty president, everyone thinks I'm a GOP, I'm not, if you had half a fucking clue, you would have figured that out.
                    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                    think about that

                      What is there to really comment on? Anyone and everyone who supported RR then and his values today knows he was a Democrat, this is not breaking news or some newly discovered information.

                        Moral: Reagan finally came to his sense, then he changed the world.

                          Should we start the Vendzilla game? His quote and the reality are two entirely different things.

                              You're kinda retarded aren't you?

                              You think

                              The problem is that people are taxed too little, the problem is not that government spends too much.

                                He was a politician. Who cares what 'flavor'.... They're all the same.
