Our beloved Ronald Reagan said this November 13, 1979..
If we had the Internet back then with all the hysteria it generates, spreading lies and false rumors at the speed of light, Ronald Reagan may have never became the Greatest President of the 20th Century
Reagan made a mistake on this one.
You do realize that Ronald Reagan would never have been the nominee of the Republican party had he not accepted the premise of NAU or whatever they called it back in the ‘70’s, don’t you? I don’t believe he was trusted to carry out their orders, and I don’t believe it was his idea to make George the Elder his VP, but we have not had a President since at least the second half of the 20th C. who didn’t sign on to the agenda and make his appointees from the CFR provided list. After working hard to get Reagan elected, there were plenty of old conservatives like Viguerie who instantly realized they had been sold out before he was ever sworn in.

I have some doubts about this quote, can you point me to a source for this?
The Internet was in it's infancy with few users back in 1979.
Wikipedia shows the original IBM PC model 5150 was introduced on August 12, 1981. I'm also guessing 300 baud modems were state of the art at that time.
