The really sad thing about Reagan...

...is that he is easily the most influential president of our lifetimes. I really don't want to waste any words discussing the man but the thing is he dug some holes for this country that it may take eons to crawl out of. Of course, his presidency has never really ended.
It's all swell that they are celebrating the man now that he's gone but I hope after this period of allowing those who loved the man to grieve that an honest and true assessment of him is made. Facts and items that may have been buried while he was alive may now be allowed to come to light. The Reagan 80's, I've always felt, will eventually be looked back on by historians as one of the worst decades for this country thanks to the foundation built by the Reagan administration. It's a foundation that Republicans have built their house on and continue to build on even now. This house stands huge, garish, and seductive on the American landscape. A towering monument to how hideous and bestial American politics can be.
