The one aspect of Reagan that seems to get little attention is that we was strongly against nuclear weapons and that he truly feared nuclear war. What bothers the liberals is that Reagan chose to negotiate from a point of strength rather than to simply do more of what was done by his weaker Presidential predacessors.

Reagan achieved results through strength.

As a young life-guard, I believe "Dutch" (as he was called) saved over 70 people from drowning.

Ronald Reagan was a great man and a great president.

That's all anybody needs to know.

You're very welcome.

Thought there would be more interest in the 25th anniversary of Reagan's first inauguration. A great day for American conservatism.

Did anyone watch that show "The Presidents" on The History Channel.

I hated how they depicted Reagan. Made it look like he was all HYPE.

Reagan changed this country forever.

He was one of a few presidents of the 20th century who had a significant professional life before entering politics. The others would include General Dwight Eisenhower and Professor Woodrow Wilson.

Incorrect. Herbert Hoover was an engineer in the mining industry before he entered politics. In fact, he had such an outstanding reputation for his managerial skills that he was appointed by Woodrow Wilson to lead the U.S. relief efforts in Europe after World War I.
