Is this about Ronnie, Teddy, or Glenn?
Democrats hounded Ronald Reagan and have tried to discredit everything he had ever done while he was alive. After he died they finally gave him credit for his effort to bring an end to the cold war and paid tribute. That does not mean that they ever had their ‘come to Jesus’ moment. On the contrary, they used him as a scapegoat for the mortgage meltdown. Never mind that they overindulged in getting and incentivising loans for the underserved. Paying tribute does not constitute an endorsement.
This article also does not account for the recent change in public attitude, a hypersensitivity to socialism. We simply have not lived with government as big as it was when Reagan took office and started dismantling it, and many don’t really remember it.
Teddy was right that government is the answer to everything? I don’t think so, and Reagan didn’t think so either.
Teddy did not think that either. Only a novice of Roosevelt history would think so. As Beck is.
