Figured I would weigh in on St. Ronnie - since the modern American Right are all too eager to fellate his corpse live on Fox"News" - with some information that you are not going to hear from those that worship him as the second coming of Christ.
One thing that you will NEVER hear from the Right Wing in this country is that Reagan committed what has become the unpardonable sin of "cutting and running" after the terrorist attack on the Marine barracks in Lebanon that killed nearly 300.
Why would he do such a thing?
To hear the Reagan sycophants of today, you would think that leaving such a grim deed going unpunished would place you firmly in the category of "un-American terrorist enabler". But that just isn't the case here. The reason being is that the Wingnuts of today can't let the slightest blemish be seen on the face of their precious Father.
While some will claim that it had to do with the collapse of President Amin Gemayel's government, one can't but see the shift in the Right Wing narrative towards a "let's roll" mentality that favors shooting first and asking questions never.
