Just curious, as President, what actions did Reagan take that you considered particularly brave? I loved Reagan, but he didn't have to ride the wave that Bush is riding.

Ronald Reagan's entire life was an exercise in bravery from his childhood to his having to carry a gun to protect himself from the Commies in the Democrat Party, to his defiance of the liberal political establishment - represented by men like Dubya's father and others.

Reagan stood up to the Communists and the press and the leftists in the Congress, he throttled the Communist Soviet Union, and he created a way to destroy an embryo Castro in Central America despite traitors in Congress who tried to block him. He was responsible for one of the greatest periods of economic growth in America and he did it supporting his trickle down theory despite the media. Ronald Reagan also attempted to downsize the Federal bureaucracy.

He made a career of integrity and doing what he through was right for America and in most cases he was correct. And he did it DESPITE the media, the Democrats and the leftist entrainment industry.

All of which is far more than I can say of the current President, who, like his equally yill-advised father, thinks he can win over the leftists by agreeing with them on some subjects and respecting their views.

If Dubya was President in the 1980's he would have caved in to the media and Dems on Starwars and we would still have a Soviet Union and a nuclear attack looming over us.

NO WAY would Ronald Reagan have craven connived with the President of a foreign nation who was conspiring to violate our borders with millions of illegal invaders and call him a friend.

Few men in politics today are fit to shine the shoes of Ronald Reagan, including Dubya.
