I don't know, Reagan was a great president when I was growing-up in the 80s. He ended the Cold War, you have to give the guy some major credit.

Just one point .. The "Tea Party" has as much right to a voice in congress as any other "party".
For so many congresspeople to be so frightened as to say that the "Tea Party" must go ...
Is a serious omen which portends the death of Democracy in America ...

There's a very well written book called "Tear Down This Myth" which essentially says "here's what Reagan stood for and accomplished" then "Here's what the current Republican Party wants you to believe". The two are very very different.

You are completely missing the issues about the incident in Nevada, so let me break it down for you. Not a single person is arguing about the validity of the grazing fees, or the fact that Cliven Bundy is years behind and has refused to pay on them. The issue is a ridiculous and heavy handed show of force against an unarmed man his family and their livelihood. Do you really find it acceptable that a government organization that serves an administrative purpose to have its own police force? Its just one more example of the extreme amount of government in this country, and their excessive need to control. Sure, Reagan passed laws on grazing fees, but no one is arguing that everything Reagan did was good, or that everything Obama does it bad. There is no perfect politician, and you will be hard pressed to find a single conservative who will tell you that there has ever been, or ever will be one. Liberals on the other hand truly believe that Obama is the perfect man, who can do no wrong. Americans with a brain know this couldn't be further from the truth. Just take a look at unemployment numbers, and the extreme rise healthcare premiums and you can pretty much decipher that Obama clearly has no concept of right and wrong. But thats fine, you can support whoever you want, in the end you will have to share in the hardships brought onto this country by liberals just like everyone else.

The mainstream Republican Party idolizes Reagan because he represents what they believe in.
The Tea Party is more libertarian than conservative. They are against neoconservative foreign policy, against big government, against government spending. So they would have disagreed with Reagan, since during his administration, government actually grew, the deficit grew, and he had an aggressive foreign policy, with the Soviet Union, with the Middle East, with invasion of Grenada, and supplying weapons all over the world.

Of course not. Cons of all sorts in the USA are eager to believe falsehoods.
