Ronald Reagan did not have a complicated philosophy. The USA is good, Communism is evil. Coummunism must fall.

Envision Nancy Reagan eloquently speaking to Ronald Reagan's diminished health with Hannity:
What Hannity hears:
Nancy: "Bla, bla bla, bla bla bla......"
Hannity interrupts mid bla:
Hannity: "Ya know, I write about Reagan in my new book...."

Absolutely on point....during Reagan's tenure as President, the Democrats were, once again, demonizing Reagan as ignorant, stupid and a 2-bit actor...BUT once Reagan (the hedgehog) forced Gorby to "tear down this wall"....Reagan made his place in history....Reagan was not afraid to take on the liberals and neither is President Bush...there are a lot of similarites between the two and both, no doubt, will go down in history....(unless, of course, the liberals (foxes) are rewriting it)...

Point of order, the proverb "The fox knows many things, the hedgehog one big thing" is Greek, by the poet Archilocus (650 B.C.) It was more recently popularized by Sir Isaiah Berlin.
