I think we’ve had enough of the Karl Marx and Chairman Mao styles. How about some real “change”?

Reading extensively about former Presidents is NOT “channeling them”. Poor choice of words for the title.

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

Hope he hits up Howie Carr for a zinger or two. Reagan showed that you can be witty, even a bit cutting, while also showing statesmanship.
