I realize that Reagan was an uncommon man, but if you're going to talk the talk . . . Please put the cash to good use. Sincerely, John Deardeuff, Suffern, NY P.S. One of the reasons for my pessimism is I think re-fighting the battles of the 1960s is such an uphill climb. You and your comrades did such a fine job at overwhelming the institutions and culture of our nation that the flame of liberty is now only flickering. Again, I agree with the thrust of your criticisms of Republicans, but I urge on you patience for the long battle ahead.
All politicians have their fingers in the wind.
To get elected and to achieve any reform at all in our system, they have to put together coalitions of diverse constituents, many of whom are not as clear-headed or as principled as yourself. Our task is to blow hard on them from the right direction.
