While King “kept California on the right side during the Civil War,” Reagan was a “ruthless governor” and an “actor posing as a statesman,” Dodd said in a Sept. 6 posting on his weblog, “Librarian in Tie-dye.”
This guy Dodd sems to have issues with Ronald Reagan, too bad. Dodd sounds like a total idiot and history will prove him to be exactly that. In fact it already has.
David Dodd accidently reveals his own personal concern - that he is a nobody who will be forgotten. Dodd is sad that he is a microbe among millions of librarians, destined for obscurity. He understands that Reagan was a giant among giants and if there was room he would be on that granite wall in South Dakota. Dodd is injecting himself into this fray to garner a footnote in history.
And this is exactly what this foolishness is all about!! Build and elevate that statue of The Honorable Ronald Reagan!!
Well, there they go again.
Reagan, elected twice as California Gov.
elected twice as Pres. Broke up the Soviets and their strongholds, and that is for starters.
Dodd the librarian needs to get a real education.
the 60s are over, get over it.
btt
I'm sixty, born in Hollywood, raised in Long Beach, lived here in Riverside for twenty years and never heard of King. I'd bet many more native Californian's haven't heard of him either. As two statues from each state are allowed there, Father Serra and Ronald Reagan being two of the most famous names associated with California seems appropriate.
It would seem logical that Mr. King's history and contributions to California would be more recognized thus appreciated in Sacramento.
King had a major local impact, which is very important. Governor and later President Reagan had local impact, which is very important, and also had huge international impact, which is even more important. Nobody needs to slight Mr. King while saying that President Reagan deserves to be there instead. It's an easy case to make, aside from Reagan-haters still stuck in 1986.
Reagan “exceptionally worthy of national commemoration,”
Yes indeedy.

Oh, cry me a river. These "critics" are scumbag Democrats, and the Kalifornia legislature is overwhelmingly scumbag Democrat.
Another Confederate-apologist.
This just shows me that Unitarians are evil, hateful people.
