They say if you live long enough, you'll form opinions you never thought you could possibly stomach. But as I look around today, I'm increasingly of the view that the Reagan Reich could fairly be looked upon as an age of enlightened progressivity when contrasted with today.

There is no doubt Ronnie Rayguns started this mess, but there were still some remnants of sanity during the time he occupied the WH. Bush the Father, followed by Bush Light, followed by Bush the Brain Damaged, followed by two more terms of Bush of Another Color have brought us the utterly dismal result you described.
