Scholars of the left seem only to praise past Republicans in order to tear present Republicans down.

Eisenhower and Reagan were deemed to be “amiable dunces.” George H. W. Bush was only praised in retrospect, by many liberals who called him a wimp at the time he was president and who said Clinton’s problems with Iraq were all due to Bush 41 “not finishing the job” - he was praised in contrast to his “stupid” son Bush 43, and his not toppling Saddam was then praised.

Just wait for the ntxt Republican president - libs will be saying how smart even Bush 43 was in comparison.

Reagan cited the Founders three to four times as often as his four predecessors,

0bama talks about them even more than Reagan.

He's always going on about them Honky Slaveowners.

(One notable example was his use of the phrase “Tear down this wall” in front of the Berlin barricade that separated the communist half of the city from the Western part despite pleas from his advisors not to include it in the speech. Indeed, Hayward shows that one staffer who advised tearing out that reference was none other than Colin Powell.)

Colin Powell’s instincts have been bad for quite a long time.
