With all do respect to Reagan, he did not shrink government. We need something far more conservative.

He did everything he could to do so I think. I don't know how you could be more conservative than Reagan unless you were a Nazi.

But the ground maybe softer now for more anti-government reform. Maybe now someone could come along and shut down most of the cabinet posts, the unconstitutional executive regulatory agencies, and the IRS and change to a 10% flat tax (preferably sales tax).

That would be a nice revolution.

In what universe were the NAZIs conservative??? They were socialists who believed that individual rights were simply a road block to the greater glory of the all encompassing state.

Please don't repeat Leftist propoganda.

Yes, Reagan did what could be done at the time. However, we now need to do more, far more.

It's idiotic statements like this that indicate the Reagan revolution is over. Naziism was National Socialism and a leftist totalitarian ideology. To put the Nazi's to the right of Reagan is either a gross misunderstanding of politics or a disgusting lack of education. Ergo an indication that the Reagan revolution is over.

"I don't know how you could be more conservative than Reagan unless you were a Nazi."

Nazi refers to totalitarian National Socialism, which was coined as fascism.

Conservatism was defined by Russell Kirk as "the negation of the secular ideologies", i.e. all the -isms of the 19th and 20th centuries: naziism, fascism, socialism, communism etc.

Any suggestion that "pure" conservatism equals nazism is an egregious smear and a blatant misread of political history.

Are you suggesting that Nazi’s were conservative? How’s that public school education working out for you?
