10. My bitch with Reagan was his anti intellectualism/anti education

Thu Sep 21, 2017, 10:37 PM

He destroyed the best education system in the USwhen he was governor of CA and he was worse as President. The only good thing he did was turn my dad into a democrat. My dad was sick at heart at Reagan and his people talking about "limited nuclear war". My dad was military and firmly believed nukes were to be use as a deterrent. Freaked him out.
