RE:"It was Reagan who planted the seeds of our current troubles. It was Mr. Reagan who apparently thought he was above the law. It was Mr. Reagan whose activities were subject to a number of congressional hearings and who got his hands slapped on at least two occasions."

Ted, ted, ted... Our current troubles go back a lot further than Reagan. I understand you are young and can't remember much further back than Clinton. What you read is likely riddled with revisionist history.

RE:"So don't give me this rap that Mr. Reagan was a God among men. I ain't buying it."

Of course Reagan was no God. Stop listening to that stuff on TV or where-ever. Like every President he made mistakes...but the general feeling Reagan gave was of great hope and positiveness. Coming off of Carter, this lifted he nation from feeling like a loser to that of a winner.
Our country and any country for that matter needs fortitude. Not to continually tear it self apart with negativity as the Dems and libs would have us do.

You always felt that Reagan was a genuine good guy. He had a great soothing effect on the country. And he was a great speaker as well.
