I doubt Reagan was influenced in matters of significant domestic and foreign affairs. This is a man who arrived at the White House fully informed and with a sound philosophy.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-76070169684969362732011-11-04T15:07:24.860-07:002011-11-04T15:07:24.860-07:00There was at least one problem with Reagan, let...There was at least one problem with Reagan, let's not go overboard: his wife regularly consulted a soothsayer and he let himself be influenced by her soothy sayings.

We have become a nation of small selfish Hobbits who drank too much, eat too much and worst of all - sit on our fat butts and complain too much between steins of beer and football games!<br /><br />In the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbits finally get their act together and along with diverse allies defeat evil, and as a reward are allowed by the Wizard to be big people once again.<br /><br />Maybe in the hard years ahead another race of giant Americans will walk the earth and bring order out of chaos. I hope so. If not, I'm afraid we are headed for the New Dark Ages.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-84230427858562998052011-11-03T14:07:58.049-07:002011-11-03T14:07:58.049-07:00Trouble is, a president can hire expertise in fore...Trouble is, a president can hire expertise in foreign affairs.
