Inside Ronald Reagan — A Reason Interview, July 1975

I quoted from it You lied about it.

Welcome Back, Dad by Michael Reagan, September 4, 2008

And you lied about this one too. Worse still, when you were busted you refused to man up and admit it.

Here is what I said:

Reagan called himself a libertarian-conservative.
The message of ‘LIBERTY’ is never a losing one.

Here is what Reason Magazine said in 1975:

Reagan has taken to using the term "libertarian" (or "libertarian-conservative") to describe his political philosophy.

Here is what you said:

You lied about Reagan being a Libertarian.

So if we are going to call people ‘liars’, who is doing the lying here? I never said Reagan was a Libertarian. Libertarians are members of the Libertarian Party. Hence the capital letters. I said Reagan identified himself as a ‘libertarian-conservative’ — as indicated by this article from 1975 — which means subscribing to a certain philosophy, hence the lowercase letters.

Here is what I said about Michael Reagan’s McCain-Palin shill piece:

Michael Reagan saying his father had risen from the grave and was wearing a dress and lipstick was not one of his finer moments, nor one of the more virtuous tributes to the late Great Communicator.
In fact, it was pretty cynical.

Here is what Michael Reagan wrote in his disgraceful shill piece, ‘Welcome Back, Dad’:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resurrected my Dad’s indomitable spirit and sent it soaring above the convention center

Welcome back, Dad, even if you’re wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.

What is a resurrection, if not rising from the grave?
I already conceded that Michael said his father was bearing children, not wearing lipstick.
Is that somehow less disgraceful in your eyes?
You can try to play semantics all you want, but the words and sentiment are there for all to see.
