I checked your entire posting history...being bored this morning.

First, welcome to FRee Republic!

Second, you are protesting that you are a Reagan Conservative.

Real conservatives usually don't label themselves as a "Reagan conservative" -- generally they argue positions on the issues in such a way that observers can figure out that they are Reagan conservatives.

Third, inveighing against deregulation of airlines, and pushing for Amtrak subsidies, somehow goes against the spirit of Reagan conservatism -- think of PATCO...

Fourth, your diction is a little *too* crisp, each sentence reads as though it came out of an English primer.

Methinks I smell something a little bit off about your posts.

But I'll reserve judgment for now.

Cheers!

Well, thanks. I guess. I used the term Reagan conservative to indicate my admiration for him; one of the 2 or 3 greatest American presidents of all time. But I guess in hindsight I may have changed my mind on a few points over the years.

I love what he did with PATCO, but air travel in the US today is simply terrible compared to what’s available in much of the rest of the world. Is it ok for us to disagree on some of these things?

Thanks.
