Real easy to say from your basement, but how do you know I hate conservatives? In matter of fact I don't. Used to vote for one to be our congressman every two years, until he died in office. He was a straight talker, not one of these phony neo-cons who delivers drivel and makes it sound like fact.
As for Reagan, it was known for at least several years before he was even elected that the Soviet Union was falling apart under the weight of its problems. About all Ronnie did was speed it up a bit, and leave behind the Afghan and Islamic fundamentalists to cause us trouble the 18 years since. Also an extra 2 trillion on the national debt while he was in office, that became 3 trillion under GHW Bush. As for remembering where he came from, I can see no evidence that he did other than to use in making that emotional contact actors are so good at.
As for Hollywood, I ignore most statements, right or left, from the Hollywood types. What gets me is the persons like you who give any conservative comment from one of the Hollywood rightists great credit because their views agree, but complain when those on the left have the same problem with those statements as you have with the leftist Hollywood types.
