A&E did a 2-hour biography on RR, which I felt was fair. It did not try to gloss over what some would view as his negatives (ex: Michael Reagan stated that his father never told him that he loved him). What the left doesn't understand is, that we know that RR is human, that he has weaknesses, and faults. What we objected to was outright lies and character assassination. However, it is just easier for them to claim that they were being censored.

Speaking of that, I find this sentence:

where he is kept out of the sight of all but his closest family and helpers."

very distasteful. I would imagine he's not "kept out of sight," as much as he is given his privacy.

May God be with the Reagan family in their caregiving.

This was their big negative? Wow. Yeah, compared to little things like screwing interns with cigars and selling national security secrets to the ChiComs, boy howdy... He was a nasty one, huh? Glad they didn't gloss over it.

He was indeed a very strange man in his personal life, but no stranger than Lincoln.

Anyway, his personal relationships were his personal business. As the leader of a diverse nation and as the manager of a fractious government he was right up there with Abe.
