Michael Reagan stands up for his father’s legacy in a piece on FoxNews.com.
What the media is doing to the memory of Ronald Reagan is at best a disservice to the consumers of their propaganda and at worst an offense to the truth. He was not the great compromiser or the great communicator. He was a thoughtful, intelligent man who knew that the essence of America was its promise of freedom to individual men and women. He knew that the battle with the Soviet Union was a battle for men’s souls and that the battles he waged against Tip O’Neill were about how much of a free man’s life the government could take from him.
To portray Ronald Reagan as just another clever politician is a lie. To tell that lie speaks volumes about the liar’s misunderstanding of history and his ignorance.
