Without Ronald Reagan we still might have stagflation, The Wall, the Soviet Union, the Cold War, rampant pessimism described memorably by Jimmy Carter as "malaise," and the federal yoke curving the back in a servile arc. We likely would not have either an ebbing leftist tide or a nearly even split as reflected in the 2000 presidential election. Who can say whether it all will continue, whether the gains will last? But they began when Ronald Reagan saddled up. And he gave us a magnificent ride.

Thanks Mr. President - for the ride...

Reagan replaced the foreign policy of "containment" - postulated in the late 1940s by George Kennan to "contain" Communism where it was - with a forward, even pre-emptive, strategy that would mean Communism's end. It worked. The incumbent administration's policy of pre-emption against Islamofascism is a direct outgrowth.

A lesson that should be heeded by liberals...
