It boggles my mind that the left was able to paint Reagan as a simpleton in some circles., This is a man who had incredible depth of understanding that went way back in his early years. It proves the point that they cannot win in an arguement of ideas-only by destroying your opponent personally can they debate. They are still doing it in todays campaign. I havent heard a Kerry idea yet, only that Bush is a bad guy...history does repeat itself.

On May 23, 1775, Patrick Henry stood before the House of Burgess and urged them to join in the battle for freedom:
“Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Thanks for the ping, Bud!
Reagan described the 2004 Democratic mindset to a "TEE!"
"Ronald Reagan "Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy "accommodation." And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer--not an easy answer--but simple."

It boggles my mind that the left was able to paint Reagan as a simpleton in some circles., Why? They didn't have to read the speech, Walter Cronkite did it for them.

Why? They didn't have to read the speech, Walter Cronkite did it for them. How true. The best PBS could do after a week of pure Majesty was a show with Crontrite last night. No, I didn't stick around to listen to the lies. I knew they were lies because his lips were moving...
