Mitch McConnell on Fox saying that Reagan's effort to defeat communism, rather than to contain it, is similar to Bush's efforts to defeat terror, not contain it, and that he thinks Reagan would have fought the terrorists the same way.

The LA Times had a piece yesterday on FR; they think we should negotiate with terrorists. Bah!

Found these Reagan quotes online:

"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

"Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that I stopped worrying."

Wonder if he had Bill Clinton in mind on this one: "Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book."

Two men who strove to dictate history, not just watch it unfurl. A quality of leadership that is lost on the left.

May God be with President Reagan as he departs this world, and with President Bush as he attempts to change its future.
