Ann Says it Best

You have to take most of what Ann Coulter says with a block of salt, but her column up today is dead on target. There's a link to her site over to the right with the rest of them, but here is a good quote concerning how much of a "uniting force" Reagan was (that's the liberals current favorite claim):

Here is how Reagan "reached out" to Democrats:



Reagan on abortion: "We cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."



Reagan on gay rights: "Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the means by which husband and wife participate with God in the creation of a new human life. It is for these reasons, among others, that our society has always sought to protect this unique relationship. In part the erosion of these values has given way to a celebration of forms of expression most reject. We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality."



Reagan on government programs to feed the "hungry": "We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry each night. Well, that was probably true. They were all on a diet."



Would that more Republicans would "reach out" to Democrats the way Reagan did!

Rather you love him or hate him, Reagan can't be painted with any brush tainted with even a little liberal paint. The guy was the model for right-wing conservatism and it's really funny to see the press scramble now to try to re-create his legacy in their own image. Hopefully, the forces of truth will win this battle so that history will see Reagan as he truly was, for better and worse.
