When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

I'm late posting this reference, but am putting it up anyway for the benefit of those who were too young to recall what happened during Ronald Reagan's tenure as president.
The Progressive Review has a collection of article excerpts from that decade all on one page, to serve as a reminder of what the man stood for -- and it wasn't good-- under the heading "The Ronald Reagan Myth."
From killer trees through the movies-inspired Star Wars program and ketchup as a vegetable, they're all there, the references explained for those who have heard them but didn't get the original context, or, like me, may have forgotten it.
