| Reagan, like so many other conservative hypocrites one can think of, acted immorally when young (or younger), and then clung to the raft of morality when he was old, hoping no one would notice the long trail of immoral debris from his past, trailing after him. I have no problem with people who are debauched, and no problem with people who are debauched and who then reform, but people who are debauched and then "reform" and THEN try to be part of the moral morassity, well, that's pretty nauseating. Reagan always made me ill. I hate to see anyone suffer, and I'm sorry he (and Nancy) had to suffer what so many other people have to suffer with. But death doesn't make an ignoble man noble, and it doesn't make a hypocrite honest. |
