I agree with you. He was Ronald - By God - Reagan, and the world knew it.

Kill our Marines? This is what battle ships look like, get a close look as they shell your "religion of peace" butts.

What I loved about the guy was that the world hated him. They feared that this man would actually, factually do what he said he would do.

His critics at home said he was stupid, said he was out of touch, said he was not in line with American popular opinion..... these are the only lines they have, they use them often.

Here's irony for you...my 84-year old mother, a lifelong Democrat, mentioned to me the other day, for no reason at all, that she thought Ronald Reagan was a great president, perhaps the last we've had.

I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Arsenio Hall had a funny bit about the difference between Jimmah and Ronald, wrt to the hostages in Iran: "Tou know, it's funny. The Iranians said "We yearn to be martyrs!" But as soon as Reagan was sworn in, they said "Let 'em go!"
