LS, great contributions to this debate. I hope your reasonableness and realism (not a bad word) catches on. Per your suggestion of reading Reagan's book---yeah, we should and start a thread on it. That might put this discussion in historical context.

Some other good ones out recently: John Adams and older: The Federalist Papers, Common Sense and other bios on Jefferson, Franklin, George Mason (Bill of Rights), Hamilton

God our young history is a rich one and full of dashing characters.

Thanks. I was actually surprised by Reagan's words, and more so by his internal political maneuvers, both in CA and in the White House. His critics from the left would be stunned, too.
