Despite his political shortcomings, the legacy of Ronald Reagan represents an overall victory for conservatism in-and-of-itself.

You're an idiot. He even calls Lincoln a lier on this video. Seems like you didn't even listen to this.

And don't forget Reagan response to the 1983 terrorist attack on the Marine Corps' barracks killing over 200 US Marines - the response: retreat and attack Grenada !!

Dear southern avenger:
Yeah right!
-
The truth needs to be spoken.
-
Be bold. Do not have a soft spot for Reagan, if you're a real conservative. He expanded government, increased spending, gave amnesty, was a neocon. I don't see why people give into this myth.
Do not be suckered in by him.
Reagan, Bush, McCain. Don't be fooled by these people.

Clinton was not a true conserative at all.

@rokitjon And a draft dodger, peice of shit.
-
Yeah and cunton became a traitor just like reagan.

@jmjfanss Exactly!And many Americans are so shallow,ignorant and perverse that they liked Clinton cause he was "Cool".Tell them he was a traitor and murderer and they'll tell you "Hey,all the presidents are,but I LIKED Bill!"
Is it any wonder we got a president like Obama??

@jmjfanss Oh,now you really pressed a hot button with me!We keep hearing Support Our Troops.Hey I was in the military - I served General Electric,Snap-On tools,and DuPont among others.No citizen benefited from my service,in fact,their lot in life got worse and they lost more of their freedoms.I'll support our troops when they topple the Fascist Dictatorship - in Washington D.C.!Till then they're a bunch of dupes serving liars and murderers,like I was!Info was not available then,but it is now.

@jmjfanss No argument there. I wasn't really clear, I don't agree with much of Clinton's ideology, but at least he stuck with his ideology. Regan just said one thing and did another.

and let's not forget, the illegal war on Kosovo and other wars he launched.

Southern Avenger, I used to subscribe to the Reagan Myth as well. But Reagan really did little to advance liberty in America, to shrink government or expand States' Rights. He gets credit for defeating Communism, but this is extremely generous and I think unwarrented. Reagan was indeed far better than some others. But he was no one to build a great political myth around like Jefferson or Washington or Calhoun.

Redshirt, I understand your dilemma and have wrestled with it myself, but in the end when "limited government" comes to mind, for Americans Reagan's name and image will always come to mind. This is a useful myth, however imperfect. I have been making the same argument for Ron Paul, that the strength of his limited government message represents a victory, even in electoral defeat. No matter who becomes the next president, it is Paul who will be remembered in years to come - he has already won.
