Reagan At 100: Strong, Fearless, Unintimidated

A great column in The American Spectator today rightly reminds us of Ronald Reagan accomplishments and the disdain with which he was viewed by liberals and the dominant liberal media. It also explains Reagan's bedrock faith in conservatism and its core values. Here's part of what it says:

Amidst all the sudden veneration for Reagan from today's left as a man of moderation (in contrast, but of course, to the wicked conservatives of today) those with longer memories recall vividly that liberals of the day hated Ronald Reagan's guts. This jewel of a statement from his arch-adversary House Speaker Tip O'Neill is but an understated example, as Reagan biographer Steven Hayward has noted:
"The evil is in the White House at the present time. And that evil is a man who has no care and no concern for the working class of America and the future generations of America, and who likes to ride a horse. He's cold. He's mean. He's got ice water for blood."
