Matthews Criticizes, Praises Reagan's Legacy
MSNBC ^ | February 4, 2011 | Chris Matthews

Let me finish tonight in what I believe is an important statement on the Presidency of Ronald Reagan.

I should start with a pair of complaints.

I think the stewardship of this planet is vital - literally - to the living things upon it - that includes us. Since we are the only thinking beings on it, we have the innate duty to protect it. I don't think Ronald Reagan took that duty to heart. It got in the way of his belief of unbound free enterprise. Honestly, I don't see how we can call "free" enterprises that destroy the very environment in which such freedom lives.

Considering the source, pretty surprising and encouraging that even hard core leftists like Chrissy are beginning to accept that Reagan was a terrific president.

All I read out of his statement is - ‘snarl’, “snicker’, ‘bitch, bitch, bitch.....

He thinks Obama is in charge of the Planetary thermostat. Yes, proving Liberalism is a mental disease day by day.

I also don't think Reagan grasped what it's like to be a regular working American.

Tingles must have some sort of dementia setting in.

He knows or at should know that is a bald faced lie

Yeah, for sure. I have noticed that Matthews has toned it down some since the canning of his pal Keith Olbermann. Hopefully, he (Matthews) will be next.

Yeah, but didn’t Reagan actually write personal letters to people, many many letters to common everyday normal people. And didn’t he encourage them with his personal letters? I thought I read that somewhere. That tells me Matthews is ignorant about Reagan in this respect.

Just read his book of letters and yes he was an avid letter writer to everybody about everything. He wrote to people sending letters to the WH complaining about his policies. They were great letters to common people by a great man.
