In Reply to: Does secretly selling weapons to Iran count toward his "Simple sincerity"? posted by Duilawyer on June 5, 2004 at 17:43:49:
and walk away from the ones that don't count.As I said, I frequently disagreed with Reagan's polices. I'm no fan pof Reaganomics, I know full well about Iran-Contra, and if Gorbachev didn't begin Perestroika the Cold War would probably still be going today. Great.
But that's history and now it's for historians to debate.
For today, we should remember Ronald Reagan as a person, not just a politician, and for that I remember him as a decent person, sincere, a man who always had a smiling, comforting demeanour - a far cry from the smirking, strutting person we see today.
We may debate what happened during his presidency, and I note a few people accusing him of killing central americans and such. That's for history to decide. I do believe that what Reagan did he did honestly - out of honest belief that he was acting correctly, and without deceptive motives in his heart. It's important for conservatives to remember that example - today, the actions are not founded in honest belief, and the heart taking them is a dark one.
There's a time and place to debate a president's legacy, and the day of his death just isn't either one. Fight the fight when it matters - like with the guy in the office now - and have the class to pass on the slagging while he's still not even cold in the ground. Whatever you think, Reagan was a man who served his country and that deserves our respect.
