See, I've gone my whole life being taught that Reagan was liek teh best guy evar. Please enlighten me. And I'm also interested in how the allies were the bad guys in WWII. You seem to be a fountain of untapped knowledge, though I hesitate to drink of it.

Reagan was terrible because of Reaganomics, also known as "trickle-down theory," which states that by giving money to the rich, they will both not hoard it and distribute it to the poor via their purchases. Neither of which is remotely true, but the rich sure as hell liked it. I'm sure there's other stuff, but forever ruining the ability of the government to actually have a real economic policy is bad enough.

Political Conservatism= I don't want the government to do it's express job of serving the people cause I don't like taxes cause I'm selfish.
Cultural Conservatism= I don't want other cultures to exist anywhere near me, and preferably not at all. Cause I'm intolerant.
Religious Conservatism= My religion is more important than anything else. Including other people. Cause I'm selfish.
Economic Conservatism= I want me and only me, plus my rich friends, to make money, screw ya'll. I did it by stepping on your heads, why can't you?

Reagan was a key part of preventing any action for global warming. Carter actually paid attention to the scientists who were making the first prediction of global warming in the 70s and was starting to put some policies through. Reagan threw them all out because big business was his buddy.

I thought the 70s were about the fear of Global Cooling, not Warming...

People suggested it but the research that was started to prove it showed the opposite and is the starting basis of warming research. It was also suggested late 60s, very early 70s. By the time Carter was in it was established that the opposite was happening because they'd done some research and Carter tried to act on it.

And there were actually only two maybe three papers on "Global Cooling" if I recall and within a year or so the scientists themselves came forward announcing their error and their experiment basically showed the opposite.

I once again propose to rename the site "People's Forum of Nuklear Power". Cause that's what we are. And it's AWESOME!

As an outsider looking in, I thought traditional conservatism died on May 4th 1970.
