"This article could be summarized in 3 points: Bush is bad. “Neocons” are enemies. Putin is, though imperfect in some minor details, a true leader. The rest is just running in circles."Yes, given so many "Leftists" show clear admiration for the political strategies of Ronald Reagan, as she does. (/sarc off)

She claims that Reagan ". . . did not want to fight the Soviets, [but] he wanted to bring them to the negotiating table."
Is that the negotiating table he walked away from in Reykjavik, or his negotiating position of referring to the Soviet Union as the "evil empire?"
Yep, even Obama likes Reagan, but only as a cover for sniping at current GOP.
