Dale, I agree with much of what you posted here.
I am sad on a personal level for anyone dying or suffering
like Reagan did - but he is hardly a hero to be worshipped.

His policies on the mentally ill alone left tens of thousands of vulnerable people at risk or worse - all due
to what he pushed through. And those people didn't have the financial resources that he had to fall back on either.

I voted for him, once, but Reaganomics was a miserable failure, only corrected by Clintonomics (it's mirror opposite). One group tried to enrich the tiny minority - while one group ran the country to help everyone else - the other 99% - sound familiar today? It should as George W. tries the same failed policies.

I doubt we would have people on the right gushing all over themselves if it had been Carter or Clinton that had died. It is truly over the top.

"The veneer of honor and respect painted across the legacy of Ronald Reagan is itself a myth of biblical proportions. The coverage proffered today of the Reagan legacy seldom mentions impropriety until the Iran/Contra scandal appears on the administration timeline. This sin of omission is vast. By the end of his term in office, some 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, indicted or investigated for misconduct and/or criminal activities.
