Am curious Andrew--where would you put FDR in the rankings. I see he and RR as very similar. Both replaced bankrupt ideologies with new ones. From FDR we got a form of democratic socialism which if nothing else provides the safety net beneath a most robust economy. RR got rid of bankrupt bureacratic socialism under the guise of great society which FDRs vision morphed into. One day, todays version of conservatism will be mired in a twisted variation of he origingal and also become reactionary as liberalism had become and a new leader with a newer version will come along. He will be the first great president of the 21st century unless Bush ultimatlely rises back to where he seemed to be in 2002. mike

My Dad was a year older than Reagan. Same type of character...He said to us growing up so many times, we KNEW it was coming ...."Right's right, and wrong is wrong...." Funny thing....even if we didn't always want to acknowledge that what we had done might have been wrong....we all underneath things, knew it was. Yes, Common Sense. Most adults know what it is. Some adults use it.
