SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California is one step closer to establishing an annual day honoring Ronald Reagan, the former president, governor and actor.
The state Senate on Thursday unanimously passed a bill designating Feb. 6 as Ronald Reagan Day. It encourages schools to spend the day commemorating Reagan's life and accomplishments.
I just don't Get It. What's the fascination with this guy? He was a mediocre president at best. I have no idea whether or not he's considered a good or bad governor by folks in CA. There's even talk of putting him on the $50 bill.
Anyway, I don't live in CA, but I will celebrate Ronald Reagan Day all the same. I'll spend the entire day telling my neighbor to tear down that ugly row of bushes.
I'm not a big fan of Ronny but I think he did enough in his two terms to preserve his legacy as the leader of the Conservative Revolution that swept the country in the 80's. In much the same way that FDR stood for the expansion of government, Reagan's presidency represented the scaling-back & privatization of the public sector. Coupled with the renewal of NeoClassical economic theory, the Reagan-Bush era helped pave the way for the prosperity of the 90's and the first half of the 00's.
But that being said, it's a bit overboard to honor him if there isn't a holiday to honor FDR.
RR delivered his lines well and left us with a huge deficit due to tax cuts for the rich.. He was one of the worst Presidents ever. Bah, humbug to any Reagan holiday.
Why honor one of the worst presidents in american history? The only thing he did while in office was set up a system to transfer wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich.
Let's see-Reagan put in motion our missile defense system, which was probably a good idea. On the other hand, he also put in motion the death of the blue collar middle class, which wasn't a good idea. It would be appropriate if Grant was replaced by Reagan on the $50 bill-both were horrible Presidents.
A good display of real emotion from "compassionate", touchy-feely end of the spectrum that so dearly values the free exchange of ideas. Not much different than what you get in college classroom. Now if Reagan were only of Mexican decent....

Personally, think first . . . I think it is an EXCELLENT IDEA!
In fact, considering all of his accomplishments for this country, why not a National Ronald Reagan Day?

Amnesty for illegal immigrants was awesome.
