"Sadly, it seems that the “Party of Reagan” has been hijacked by the neo-cons, the big government crowd and the pragmatists."
Reagan increased the size of government, grew the deficit spectacularly, raised taxes -- and signed off on amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
He also "cut and ran" from Beirut.
He had bigger fish to fry, which he did -- which made him the greatest President in generations.
The author is an uninformed buffoon.
Of course using the expression "neo-con" is a dead giveaway of buffoonery.
n.b. James Baker was heavily involved in the decision to withdraw from Beirut, as was SECDEF Weinberger et al.
