Pink,
Get a grip on yourself. I voted for Reagan twice and recall the day he was shot by Hinkley. We all hoped for his safety and recovery. He accomplished much but was not a saint - especially in the early days of the AIDS crisis.
Today's GOP is making him into something he never was while in office. I suspect he'd have plenty of complaints as to what has been done to piss away his legacy. He certainly was not intolerant and anti-knowledge like his current successor.
BTW, were you born yet when Reagan was in office?
P.S. I did a special post just for you as requested.
