Liberals correctly perceive the Reagan record as their most
dangerous enemy. Why? Because what happened during the 1980s --- prosperity
at home (the longest period of peacetime growth in this nation's history,
strength abroad --- directly contradicts every liberal belief.
Bill Clinton has confused many about the 1980s and the Reagan legacy.
His patently false mantra states, "The rich got richer, the poor
got poorer. The rich didn't pay their fair share, and etc." The
1980s have been intentionally mischaracterized by slick liberal politicians
with the complicity of the mainstream media.
In point of fact, the image of Ronald Reagan, the man responsible
for shaping that decade, should be carved into Mount Rushmore, minted
into coins, and emblazoned in a place of honor in every schoolchild's
history text as a constant reminder of this great man's contributions
to world freedom, national pride, and individual prosperity.
With the truth, the term 'Reaganomics' will be used only as a term of
endearment and respect.
