Ronald Reagan

Last night, I had the privilege to watch a PBS documentary about Ronald Reagan. It was moving. As I was watching, and feeling proud that I had used my first vote for president on him, I wondered about how he would be received today. He called not only communism EVIL, but those countries who held fast to it EVIL.




George Bush calls tyrannical, terrorist nations EVIL and people are shocked that he would use such a strong word! In our day of moral relativism and political correctness, folks who stand for good over evil are construed as unloving and uncompromising, insensitive and un-evolved! People who favor Capitalism are called greedy and power hungry.

Ronald Reagan's passion was to eliminate the threat of nuclear war in his time and to defeat communism and support all of those people who no longer wanted to be subject to the tyranny of it. For him..communism was BAD, EVIL and worthy of destruction for the sake of all people world over.

Communism is based on the ideas of Karl Marx.

As I was reading about this this morning, I was shocked to note that many many Americans completely agree with this philosophy!!! The very evil men and women have died to eradicate in our world has become the mantra of so many, including the mainstream media, in this country...Capitalism is BAD! We want more rights for the workers! The workers are being exploited by the business owners!

Reagan must be rolling over in his grave.
