The death of Ronald Reagan marks the death of the oldest living president as well as a time to reevaluate his administration. He escalated the debt, was a devout Riga axiom disciple, and one of the most personable presidents in history. In fact, it could be argued that he won in 1984 on his personality rather than his policies.

It is up to history to decide on his worth.

 
In this time of the Patriot Act, civil liberties are more precious than ever. With legal protections being eroded, cities across the nation are passing resolutions that reaffirm the importance of the Bill of Rights.

In contrast, the war in Iraq is a betrayal of America and what it is supposed to stand for.
