>>>>>>I'm a 'full fledged conservative' and I frequently correct the mythology arising around Ronald Reagan.

What mythology would that be?

Ronald Reagan was a human being and thereby imperfect by creative design. He just happened to be the best conservative POTUS America has had since Calvin Coolidge. Comparing Rudy to Reagan is an insult. Comparing Bush43 to Reagan is wrong.

There is ONLY one Ronald Reagan and his legacy should be properly respected by ALL cosnervatives.

ps- if you want to get banned, use Peaches strategy. It worked well for her. Just ask JimRob.

Ronald Reagan is the gold standard for conservatism. All should be compared to Reagan, the standard. Bush43, in what he accomplished, compares well.

Why? Well it's not because we are living in a conservative, originalist nirvana. It's because getting something done in this politically liberal country is so damn hard to do.

But to compare Reagan to "Bush43" in your view is wrong?

LOL! Sounds like political correctness to me.

There is a difference between respect and fealty.

And there is a difference between respect and using his name as a sledgehammer to beat up another great leader.

You are guilty of the latter in both cases.......to the point where your conservativism is in serious question.

If I counter your worship, I'm sure you think I should be banned. But my conservatism is real and across the board, and doesn't rest solely on the adoration of one man, as does yours.
