Mario Cuomo...a very effective speaker, but as glib and as vacuous as one can get.He tries to be cute by half..when, on the one hand, he'll praise his opposition and then, but by bit, tear them down. Rhetorically, it works for the left..but the greatest number of those in the center can see right through it.When he lost the NYS Governorship in 1995..he was about as angry as he's ever been. He mor eor less told reporters that the peoplem were ignorant.Not missed...

I think there needs to be a serious evaluation of faith. The gospels state very clearly that "..faith without works is dead" and the evangelicals put blind faith in their leaders, and do so thinking it is the right thing to do. An amazing thing Reagan did, was to get people to stop talking about things that matter, he did so by ascribing almost anything that matters to "politics". People don't want to talk politics, they just want to live their lives. Sadly, Reagan's made living hard.

You are right on the money!

I need to say, this speech could be done today and it would ring just as true.. it is timeless.. I am a great admirer of this man... as for the Republican Christians... why the Hell are they courting the Christians? It is a political scam..How can you be Pro Life and Pro War and Pro Guns?? If the Christians were smart.. they would understand that taking care of the Poor and homeless is what Jesus would like ....not bombing other countries...

You're a bigot.

Well that seemed to be his primary base (and still does)...and his ideologies and actions are totally contradictory to the Gospels. Thus, it's worth noting the whole Christian angle on the sad, sad story.

"Christian" Americans? Why do you make that distinction?

o0xst (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Great stuff. Reagan did so many horrible things for humanity, and yet he's loved so much by Christian Americans...shows how uninformed people are. Very sad.
