"When [Reagan] made his Evil Empire speech - that the Soviet Union was an Evil Empire that had to be destroyed and they couldn't coexist with us - one diplomat complained to him, 'You have destroyed 20-years of patient diplomatic effort with that one speech.' "

He may have destroyed 20 years of diplomacy, but he also destroyed 70 years of Soviet athiesm and totalitarianism. What an incredible man!

Go with God President Reagan, We will always love and miss you.

"Yes. And where did that 20-years worth of patient diplomatic effort get us - it got us a stronger Soviet Union and a weaker America."

Oh Captain! My Captain!

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,

The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;

Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills,

For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding,

For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!

This arm beneath your head!

It is some dream that on the deck,

You've fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,

My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,

The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,

From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;

Exult O shores, and ring O bells!

But I with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Reversing the downward tide of history, freeing hundreds of millions of people for tyranny, defusing a bitter forty year long conflict without blowing up the world and wishing freedom and prosperity on your worse enemies.

Now That's a Legacy.

"Funny, they quit calling it Reaganomics when it started to work!"
--Reagan quote from Weinberger (heard on KNX 1070 radio in Los Angeles yesterday)

His attack on the Soviet Union included two very interesting bits of fakery. One was Star Wars, which was dreamed up by a cabal of science fiction writers. There was legitimate research involved, but its importance as a weapon was pure bluff poker.

The other bit of fakery involved computer software that was conventiently left lying around so it could be stolen by the Soviets, and which was disasterous to them.

"He quite literally redeemed the country and helped save the world."</i?
