In America today, it is way too tempting to spend all our time attacking or celebrating the presidents we support. People seem to either hate Donald Trump or hate Joe Biden. We are locked into attacking or promoting presidents, not the principles or program priorities we believe will ensure the future for this amazing country. Yes, "Elections have consequences," but because we vote for presidents over principles, we don't often know what Presidents will do until they get elected. Whomever Republicans put up for election in 2024, and even for House and Senate seats in 2022, it's imperative that they...

Former Democrat president Jimmy Carter was crushed by conservative Ronald Reagan in 1980, after serving one disastrous term, losing the electoral vote 489-49. It was an embarrassing time to be a Democrat, as it is today after an even more calamitous time under current Democrat President Barack Obama. Carter was thoroughly annihilated by Reagan, who the political establishment said was too conservative to be elected president, only winning six states and the District of Columbia (two of the states were his own state of Georgia, and his VP choice Walter Mondale’s home state of Minnesota). Carter told CNBC Meets in...

The story of Ronald Reagan's life -- from boyhood to Hollywood actor to leader of the free world -- is about to spill out on the big screen in a way quite different from the miniseries that caused such a stir seven years ago. The feature film, titled "Reagan" and sporting a $30 million production budget, is set for release late next year and will be based on two best-selling biographies of the 40th U.S. president by Paul Kengor: "The Crusader" and "God and Ronald Reagan." Mark Joseph, who optioned the books four years ago, is co-producing with Ralph Winter...

Mara Gay Contributor AOL News (March 16) -- This time, it's partisan. About a month after a billboard of former President George W. Bush with the question "Miss Me Yet?" was spotted beside a Minnesota highway, a similarly mysterious billboard has appeared in the state. This one features Ronald Reagan, and, unlike the original billboard, the message is unmistakably conservative: "Remember Real Hope and Change?" the sign asks, openly mocking President Barack Obama's campaign slogan.

Ronald Reagan speaks out against socialized medicine. A modernly relevant portion of a 1961 LP recorded by Ronald Reagan. In this recording, Reagan warned that socialized medicine would curtail Americans' freedom and that "pretty soon your son won't decide when he's in school, where he will go or what he will do for a living. He will wait for the government to tell him." Ronald Reagan clearly unfolds how social medicine encroaches upon Americans' freedoms. Whether deliberately advancing socialization under the guise of humanitarian effort, or simply instituting another social program with reduced individual freedoms following in its wake, socialized...

I just heard that Ronald Reagan, our 40th President, was named as the greatest American by a Discovery channel poll. I just heard it on Fox News a few moments ago.

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU JULY 29, 2004 10:24:25 ET XXXXX RON REAGAN RIPS BUSH IN ESQUIRE ESSAY Ron Reagan has written a scathing, sweeping, 4,100 word critique of President Bush (not on stem cell) that will be appearing in next month's ESQUIRE magazine. Reagan doesn't hold back in this candid piece where he shares his real feelings towards our 43rd President. "The Bush Administration cannot be trusted." "George W. Bush and his administration have taken normal mendacity to a startling new level far beyond lies of convenience." "They traffic in big lies, indulge in any number of symptomatic small...

The upcoming CBS mini-series on President Ronald Reagan portrays him as a foul-mouthed buffoon who repeatedly used profanity - behavior he never exhibited in real life, his son Michael said Thursday. "It's horrendous, it's absolutely horrendous," Michael Reagan complained, after viewing eight minutes worth of excerpts of the film, which stars James Brolin, husband of Reagan-hater Barbra Streisand, as the fortieth president. "They paint my father as a buffoon," the former first son-turned radio host told fellow talker Sean Hannity. "They also have my dad taking God's name in vain in an angry, angry way . . . They...
