Reagan - more to the man than you expected
1968
California Gov. Ronald Reagan issued an executive order that establish the state's first formal efforts at affirmative action by establishing the Career Opportunities Development Program

1974
California Gov. R. Reagan directed state agencies to develop affirmative action plans with timetables for increased-integration of women and minorities into the workforce. Eventually he formed an affirmative action division of the Personnel Board.



Surprised?

reagan illegally sold weapons to the iranians and then gave the proceeds to a murderous insurgency in central america.

reagan didn't utter the word AIDS until over 6,000 americans had died from it.


the reagan administration wanted to classify ketchup a vegetable in school lunches.


hell of a guy.

His GOP legacy will be destroyed thanks to Jr extraordinary work.

Reagan who ? nobody will remember him. Jr a job well done.

Reagan had a heart and some common sense even though he wasn't too smart. I actually liked him. He wasn't a bad prez, just badly advised. He stopped the Neocons in 1986 from escalating the cold war conflict. They hated him for that.

Reagan was the only President who demonstrated to his Soviet counterpart who really wore the pants in the U.S.-U.S.S.R.'s relationship.

I wonder if Reagan would have gone to China and sold us out like Nixon did. I somehow doubt it.

Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall.
Freed the I-Rainian Hostages.
Got double-digit interest rates under control.
Best president we've had since Lincoln...

Not at all.

Reagan did a lot of things.

One among the was forcing to study Spanish. That was wrong. It should have been voluntary.

As for this tenure at the Federal Exetutive Branch, the single most massive, successful, and monummental act he performed was the:

TAX REFORM ACT OF 1985.



Donald Regan was Secretary of Treasury at the time.

oh, did he ? I must have missed that memo. That's typical NeoCons bullshit. The Berlin wall fell under Bush 1 watch and the collapse originated from a self destructing system, much like capitalism. See it collapse in the US in a few years time when the Chinese will own the rest of the world with their production.

Reagan was one of several factors in bringing down the Iron Curtain.


I tend to agree with Richard Nixon's assessment on the primary causes.
