Reagan greater than Lincoln? Lincoln Administration = massive tax hikes, large centralized government, neglect of states rights, and a loose constructionist view of the constitution
Reagan Administration = massive tax cuts, decentralization of government, return to states rights federalism, and a strict constructionist view of the constitution
Those are the facts so you tell me. From a conservative point of view, which one was better?

Love your comparison!!
Lincoln=governed during a racist, slave state rebellion
Reagan=President while United States was a super power and governed during a period of relative prosperity

In bringing down the Soviet Union and its control of Eastern Europe Reagan freed more souls from oppression than Lincoln ever did. Moreover, Lincoln only "freed" slaves in territory not controlled by the Union.

Does States Rights entail the right to enslave man? Was the Constitution a contract to protect all Americans, or only the slaveowner? I think the 10th Amendment does not grant the right to enslave.
