I didn't particularly agree with Reagan and much of what was done during his presidency, particularly here at home in the gool old U.S.A. I respect your right to your own opinion.
I have one question, though. In your anger are you not doing the very thing most pagans rant that the Christians, particularly the born agains and fundamentalists, do to them? Are you not equating the religion with the person and blaming Christianity for the actions of several presidents?
When you say that they are all evil, I am reminded of the things some Christians say to convince others that pagans or wiccans are dangerous. Both points of that view are too extreme for me. I cannot, in good conscience, damn anyone to hell as you have done in your comment. But, that is me.
AS for the Constitution, I tend to agree with you. A Libertarian friend reminded me today of something I had forgotten. That is that the Bill Of Rights has been suspended during most of our major wars. I hate the Patriot Act but am beginning to realize that it does have a historical precedent in this country. At least it hasn't gone so far (yet) that it is limiting comments such as yours above. That is good. I may disagree with you, but will fight to my very last breath for your right to comment and say whatever you want in criticism of our president.
(BTW, if you think Dubya is bad, take a long look at Jeb. He is cutting so many social programs in Florida that it won't be long before most of the disabled will end up homeless because the funding is cut for the programs that provide their housing, transportation and care. This is true for botht he elderly and young disabled. It is a sad time for poor and disabled people in Florida right now under Jeb)
