>>You're just digging a bigger hole for yourself. David Brooks defending Ronald Reagan is not going to persuade folk like me. If you could find a reasonable nonpartisan source or even a Dem partisan source that takes your position, then I might take a serious look.<<

John -

Sorry to butt in, but Brooks provides some good factual background in his article, and also puts the words "states rights" in the context of what Reagan actually said.

I disagree with Brooks all the time, but a factual argument will always be persuasive to me unless I have reason to doubt the facts that are being put forward. In this case, I have no reason to doubt the facts. Brooks may be a conservative, but he's not a liar.
