Dang. Ronald Reagan’s hero status with me just came off.
Myths die long, slow deaths. Fact of the matter is, Reagan would be considered a “globalist” under today’s standard, by those who demand ideological “purity.”
Why? Of all the great things he did, you're going to let this ruin it?
If it makes you feel any better, Reagan's successful invasion of Grenada really ticked Thatcher off.
Get used to the fact that there are very, very few heroes in politics.
It’s all a matter of comparison: Reagan was better than Carter who, in turn, is better than Obama. Where the Bushes and Clinton fall in that group will be determined at a later date when we will also find out who killed Kennedy.
