Its a 7 page article. First 2 are posted hear.
To: The_Republican
Given the historical illiteracy and incoherence presented here, I see no need to read the rest of it.

These propagandist or all of us better remember we stood in the streets, on bridges, in parks to honor, PRESIDENT Ronald Reagan’s funeral from Washington DC to the Reagan Library. We are alive, well, and LIVID.

Ed Rollins is a know-nothing RINO. The only thing the Reagan coalition is missing, is someone who actually believes in it and someone who can articulate it.

I like to read more positive things. Not negative things. I don’t think it’s sunset in America. Not yet, anyway. This nation has plenty of greatness left in it before the liberals ruin it all together.
To: The_Republican
I am in no way trying to through the gauntlet down here to you or others.
I am not sure about the age of Reagan, but I do, unfortunately believe, the age of the Republican Party being the champion of "Constitutional Conservatism" is indeed over.
Again I don't take solace in the fact nor wish to start an argument with you or any of the remaining faithful in the GOP.
Just stating a response, heartfelt, to the article.

It is time to move past quoting Ronald Reagan, and to implementing what he stood for.
I get so annoyed by the Juan McAmnesty’s quoting Reagan, that it has become tedious. They don’t believe a word of it. Their actions speak louder than their words.

Reagan believed in conservatism. He stood with America’s Founding Fathers and agreed with those basic concepts they set forth in the US Constitution. The ideas of freedom and liberty will never die. The major problem has been the opposition to a limited federal government over the last 40 years by America’s liberal establishment.
Reagan may be gone, but the Constitution is still the supreme law of the land. The great ideological battle between the politics of rightwing and leftwing isn’t over. The war for the heart and soul of America continues.
Like Washington, Adams and Jefferson, Reagan is still with us today.

They may be right the Reagan Era is over. I'd say though those who are predicting the demise of conservatism are engaging in wishful thinking. Our movement has troubles - but its far from dead - yet.

Not the same old socialist, Princeton professor Sean Wilentz - organizer of the full page ad defending the rapist against the impeachment charges and attacker of Antonin Scalia.
Why am I not surprised he believes the age of Reagan is over - he's held that belief since before Reagan became President.

>the Republican establishment never fully recovered from Watergate, another unexpected consequence of Vietnam
I thought Watergate
was about using hookers
to get blackmail dirt
on political
opponents and when someone
tried to bug the whores
they got caught. What's that
got to do with Vietnam?
Was that hookers, too?!
To: The_Republican
I understand your desire for this to be the case given your cheerleader status for McAmnesty, but I have news for you, this author’s analysis and your fondest desires are much further removed from reality than you realize.

McCain, or any RINO, quoting Reagan is like Hillary or Obama saying they believe in a strong military.

To: The_Republican
Just because the leadership has drifted off to the left doesn't mean the body isn't still there. The Repub elites always preferred the McCains to the Reagans. So they served up a McCain. All that means is they have guaranteed the coming calamity. And, since the leadership is gone, into the vacuum will step someone as yet unknown. I'm betting things won't be very pretty at that point. My guess is that the wishful and delusional “leadership” of this nation have used up all of their Grace.
