Quite possibly one of the dumbest posts to ever make it to FR.
Reagan wasn’t perfect. But then again, who is...right? He made mistakes in the handling of certain national security and military related issues. I never thought he should have signed off on the 1986 Immigration Bill, because the other side (and apparently, some of “our” side) had no intention of living up to the restrictions in it.
But he was no RINO and to say so is a complete disregard of history.
He believed in eliminating the corrosive power of government intrusion and regulation where it was not needed.
He believed in cutting taxes.
He understood and believed in strong national security and military strength.
He believed in God and the influence of religion on maintaining a positive character of the nation.
I could go on, but I think we see it the same way.
To say Reagan was a “RINO” is a misinterpretation of the record at best, and a deliberate mal-interpretation at worst.
