Ronald Reagan on Townhall

• The Media's Favorite Fake Republicans Wed Jan 16
  Brent Bozell
  The Republican Party is desperately in need of some good advice. It needs to return to Ronald Reagan conservatism and give America a two-party system, not a tinny echo of Obama. But our liberal media keep desperately inviting fake Republicans to offer advice to the GOP. ... more
• A Meritocracy Fri Jan 4
  Rich Galen
  In the deep dark days of 1994, I was out of politics. I was actually running the Middle East for the company then known as EDS out of Dallas. ... more
• Clifftastrophe: How the GOP Raised Taxes and Fed Obama’s Spending Addiction Fri Jan 4
  Crystal Wright
  Republicans in Congress screwed up big time in voting for President Barack Obama’s tax hike on Americans. All in the name of letting Obama “have his way” in sticking it to the rich, the deal to avert the country’s cliff dive doesn’t do anything but stall the country’s fall for another two months. ... more
• John Kerry’s Quest to Communize Central America Thu Dec 27
  Humberto Fontova
  Say what you want about Senator John Kerry, nobody ever called him lazy. He landed in Congress and immediately rolled up his sleeves and spat on his hands. ... more
• Robert Bork: More Influential Off the Court Fri Dec 21
  Mona Charen
  The last time I saw Bob Bork was the Sunday before Election Day. His familiar baritone was faint. You had to sit close to hear him, and he seemed to have a little difficulty following the conversation. ... more
• The Fiscal Cliff: What Would Reagan Do? Wed Dec 19
  Paul Kengor
  As President Obama and Democrats urge Republicans to increase taxes, some liberals are curiously invoking the name of Ronald Reagan, the ultimate tax-cutting Republican. They insist that even Reagan was willing to compromise with Democrats on tax increases; thus, John Boehner and Republicans should as well. In truth, this is (at best) a false parallel. ... more
• Michael Moore Glad Reagan Voters Are Dead Now Thu Dec 13
  America
  "If you were 55 or 60 years old in 1980 when Reagan ran, you're dead now." ... more
• Defeat is an Orphan: A Foot Soldier’s After Action Report Wed Dec 12
  Robert Morrison
  John McCain memorably called himself “a foot soldier in the Reagan revolution.” I count myself as a foot soldier, too. I have walked precincts in every election, save one, since 1968. And, as an historical researcher, I have studied every presidential election since 1788. In the last six months of this election year, I logged some 13,341 miles on the Family Research Council-Heritage Foundation’s “Values Bus” to some 40 cities and towns in eight states. Campaigning at the grassroots level, you learn stuff. ... more

• Time out -- Take Five With the Brubeck Jazz Quartet Tue Dec 11
  Paul Greenberg
  Dave Brubeck wasn't just a goodwill ambassador abroad with his music and manner, but at home. No one who ever met him left without a good feeling -- and a good story. Here's one: ... more
• Ronald Reagan: Progressive Taxation Came Direct From Karl Marx Wed Dec 5
  Terry Jeffrey
  Ronald Reagan, who was then a movie actor, delivered one of the greatest and most prophetic speeches of the 20th century, when he appeared before the Orange County Press Club on July 28, 1961. ... more
• Higher Taxes, Smaller Government? Sun Dec 2
  Steve Chapman
  It comes as no surprise to hear anti-tax activist Grover Norquist talk about tax cuts, but it does come as a surprise to hear him raise the subject of pink unicorns. ... more
• Michael Reagan Discusses Lessons From Tax Hike Compromises Under His Father Thu Nov 29
  New York, NY
  "We're still waiting, by the way, for those spending cuts to kick in," he tells Neil Cavuto. ... more
• The Way the World (Really) Works: The Wild Deuce Trumps Wed Nov 28
  Ralph Benko
  A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, America – and the world around it - was rapidly descending into Economic Hell. It was a protracted, confused, process called “the ‘70s.” ... more
• Social Conservatives: GOP Can't Live Without Them Tue Nov 27
  David Limbaugh
  One of the largest elephants in the GOP's post-election room is the fate of Christian and other social conservatives. Party honchos can't just wish this problem away -- or, maybe they can. ... more
• Stupid is, As Stupid Does Mon Nov 26
  Wayne Allyn Root
  Can the GOP really be this stupid? It appears many in the GOP Congress are suddenly willing to raise taxes. What utter fools. As Forest Gump's mother (played by Sally Field) said, "Stupid is, as stupid does." And this is world-class stupid. If GOP politicians can't figure out any good arguments to oppose tax increases, I’ll give them a few. ... more
• Romney Was Not the Problem Thu Nov 22
  Ann Coulter
  Small minds always leap to the answers given the last time around, which is probably why Maxine Waters keeps getting re-elected. But the last time is not necessarily the same as this time. A terrorist attack is not the same as the Cold War, a war in Afghanistan is not the same as a war in Iraq, and Mitt Romney is not the same as John McCain or Bob Dole. ... more
• Marco Rubio: A Hispanic Reagan? Thu Nov 22
  Cal Thomas
  Conservatives have been dreaming that a political reincarnation of Ronald Reagan would lead them to an electoral promised land. I never put my faith in such a possibility, because the past is a dangerous place in which to live. Reagan never lived in the past, though he learned from it. ... more
• DePasquale’s Dozen with GOProud Founders Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia Mon Nov 19
  Lisa De Pasquale
  In 2009, conservative activists Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia saw a need for an organization to represent and educate gay Americans interested in free market principles, limited government and individual freedom. The organization has grown in to one that represents gays and their allies, building coalitions within the conservative movement and doing all they can to advance conservative and libertarian candidates. ... more
• The End Of The Karl Rove Death Grip Signals A Reagan Renaissance Wed Nov 14
  Ralph Benko
  Liberals do not grasp the distinction between Ronald Reagan and (either) George Bush. This blind spot creates a massive confusion and hazard to their ambitions. Obama defeated neither the Reagan Narrative nor Team Reagan. Team Bush appropriated, and then marginalized, both. Obama beat Team Bush, not Team Reagan. The implications are huge. ... more
• Executive Privilege: The 2012 Election and the Power of Incumbency Tue Nov 13
  Paul Kengor
  Mitt Romney lost the presidential race by only two percentage points. If the election had been held just a week earlier, when he was up in the polls, things might have been different. Nonetheless, Mitt Romney lost, and now a bitter debate has ensued over the future of the Republican Party, with liberal Democrats happily plunging into the debate. ... more
