R. Reagan was either a scoundrel or a fool. And needs to be recognized as such.

Reagan would still fit in perfectly within the GOP if he were alive today, contrary to what many supposed progressive pundits have said about him. He was a dick to the working class and minorities, just like many modern members of his party, and he was the main guy who opened this giant can of worms.

Reagan was a puppet. He was an actor playing the role of president for his corporate masters.

No other president has come close to building such an impressive record of criminal activity, so show a little respect for this impressive accomplishment.

In college, my roommates and I would always boo, hiss, curse and give the TV the finger every time his nasty old face came on. We didn't even realize at the time what a real disaster his legacy would be.
