The other thing is, not everybody likes Reagan. I don't put my lifelong distaste for the man and why I feel him vastly overrated and why I feel others are using him name to feather their own pillows out of respect for the feelings of his family and admirers in the difficult time of his very tragic illness I wouldn't wish on anybody.
But I will mention it one time here merely to make a point we have a right to our opinions, and just because it may differ with yours that doesn't make one a 'troll.'
I may give credit where credit is due, but I reserve the human right to not like another human if I so chose, and you should think about that. Have a nice day
I had a rather benign view of Reagan, even tho I voted for him, until recently.
If you can, check out "In His Own Hand", which is a book of his (handwritten) radio addresses from the 1960s and 70s. It proves the 'amiable dunce' theory quite wrong, and shows that Reagan had formulated his political views early on, and his vision was executed without wavering wherever he had the opportunity to implement it.
There's another book of his correspondences that I spent some time reading at the library, and he comes across and a genuine and engaging sport; not the 'taciturn', aloof, dimwit that the media would have you believe.
I'm not saying you'll be in love with him, but it certainly was in stark contrast to the picture you get of him from 'the media'.
Let's say you were part of a radical group that wanted badly to have everyone think they were larger and more important than they really are. A group which wants everyone to think that 'lots of people think like we do', and not that they are a bunch of left-wing radicals. One way to do so would be to ensure that the group is over-represented in a tracking sample, such as by having them all use the toolbar.
