1. Revisionists.

Like those textbook people in Texas, unable to cope with the fact that philosophies outside their own even exist. Insulates them from having to make an argument in support of their position if they can discount everything else as rumor and propaganda.

Thanks Mr. Hartmann

2. Great piece to dispel the Reagan myths.

I might add that it was money along with the enabling media that helped fabricate the Reagan myths. Between the RW talk shows spewing the myths 24/7, along with the MSM media gerbils hardly ever contesting the myths, is it a wonder this country thinks Reagan was this champion of fiscal conservatism who singlehandedly ended the Cold War? You never hear them connect his policies enabling the likes of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, either.

6. We should suggest that one crumbling piece of infrastructure

in every county be named after Ronald Reagan. The guy who hated government should be remembered for his efforts to starve government, NOT for new construction projects paid for by the government. Crumbling roads and bridges and crumbling and antiquated schools are a few of the things that would do "honor" to the name of Ronald Reagan.
