Some of you folks are funny.
If Reagan is truly the model, please tell me when he ever refused to work with somebody over a difference of opinion on gay rights or abortion issues.
The Reagan Revolution was primarily about small, conservative government. Rarely did he mention gay rights or aboriton policy. His positions on the issues were well known, but he did not seek to create division among those who disagreed.
In fact, it was quite the contrary. Reagan went to great lengths to reach out to those who disagreed with him, as long as he was able to win on principle.
Reagan never had to compromise his beliefs, nor did he exclude anyone who may have differed.
If Reagan is truly the model, please tell me when he ever refused to work with somebody over a difference of opinion on gay rights or abortion issues.
If the current Republican Party shared Reagan's views on government's role, I might agree with you.
Unfortunately...
Which closet were you in?
Flyover country had no idea Rock Hudson was a homosexual then. The Supreme Court had not yet legalized sodomy and the Brady Bunch was still cutting edge for letting married people share a bed on TV.
because when Reagan was president the homo’s were locked away in a nut house and rightly so, that was the law back then.
Now we have flaming homo’s running around telling everyone that they are normal and should have even special rights like civil unions, hate crime etc
