FR seems slow tonight. There is some pretty interesting posts on this thread. It is just hard to understand some people way of thinking.
Reagan was a truly great man and a truly great president. Will's criticisms of him here are mostly off-base. However, Will is completely right that neither the man nor the historical moment will be repeated. We need to think about our situation now, and how to deal with it. Reagan is certainly an inspiration, and in a few limited respects he can be a model. But his memory is not, nor would he wish it to be, a substitute for hard thinking in the HERE AND NOW.
