There are a lot of good points there and no bad ones.
The bottom line I think is that people deserve what they bring on themselves. They sit here and spout the most nonsensical crap and invent fantastic excuses to keep doing more of what screwed us. I know this to be true simply by reading any right wing website and reading that very thing daily.
I think what I miss more than Reagan about that era was that many Dems from the 80s were harder right than all but 2-3 in the GOP today. And the fact that voters were not moral cowards. Not like today.
