Reagan really wasn’t much of a social warrior. He was about strong defense, defeat of Communism, lower taxes and smaller government. He was pro-life, but it wasn’t one of the core tenants of his Presidency by any means.

You’re generally right about Reagan. He spoke and wrote eloquently about pro-life issues, which hopefully had some impact. But he didn’t do a whole lot otherwise. His wife was strongly pro-baby killer. Of course, she’s now for killing embryos, too.

Reagan was the social warrior that more than any other individual in politics, led voters to decide which issue of good and evil that they were on.

You are trying to sell bull waste, Reagan was the greatest social warrior of all presidents.

Do you really think that the millions of Americans, including democrats who flocked to his social message were just imagining things? Reagan made millions of lifelong democrat voters realize that the GOP was the home of traditional values and of the faithful, Reagan drew the lines that endure today.

Guess you never heard of the War on Drugs and the war on pornography then.
