I want to thank everyone who commented on that last post. I was angry and sort of disheartened. Sometimes I feel like I'm not really ever going to be taken, really seriously, on this site, which is one of the reasons I'm not around all that much anymore. I feel like I have a good grasp on politics, literature, economics...I'm well read and can form complete sentences. I can read music and play piano and I've read Chaucer and Homer and I've read about Isis and I know the difference between conservative and liberal and am coherent enough to vote and to understand why it's important to vote. I know when to be quiet and when to speak my mind and I know how important family is. I can squaredance and breakdance and hold polite conversation with people I don't like. I have social skills, intelligence, and a mind of my own.
But, I can also be incredibly silly and play around...not always wanting to be taken seriously. But sometimes, certain people on this site, tend to look at a person, form an opinion, and hold to that opinion, never breaking form or looking deeper. They think I'm an insipid nitwit, well...
Their loss.

I think a lot of people were knocking Reagan in reaction to so many (not all of them here) saying he was a hero. Is respect saying good things about people even if they were not good? Reagan was the most feared man in the world when he was president. I think that the time to attack him was when he was in power, but is it appropriate to laud him now?
You said on the boards that we would all make mistakes as president too. I do not compare myself to the president because I want my president to be an exceptional person, one who is above the standards put on me.
