Ronald Reagan’s legacy of keeping public terrified lives on
June 6, 2007 by William K. Wolfrum
While conservatives continue to pine for a day when Ronald Reagan’s ridiculous budget deficit and illegal doings were far more classy and American than George W. Bush’s ridiculous budget deficit and illegal doings, it’s important to note that the modern conservative movement has done a masterful job emulating one of St. Ronnie’s main skills – keeping the public terrified.
From Reagan’s 1984 ad “There is a bear in the woods”
“There is a bear in the woods. For some people the bear is easy to see. Others don’t see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it’s vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who is right, isn’t it smart to be as strong as the bear? If there is a bear. …”
