[QUOTE="Dymaxion22, post: 11609, member: 964"]Whatever your political leanings, I think that it is right to give credit to Reagan for his service and to mourn his passing. That said, I've got to admit I'm pretty tired of this prolonged conservative effort at revisionist history. This continuing effort to deify a modern-era President (Reagan on Mt. Rushmore? Surely you jest!) seems incredibly disingenuous and politically motivated. The reverence afforded to those that occupy the hallowed places on our currency and major national monuments should not be cheapened in an effort to fabricate a historical legacy that the Republican party can use in election campaigns in coming years. Only history can judge whether a leader deserves such reverence, and we do not yet have sufficient historical perspective to properly evaluate Reagan. I was born and raised in DC, and the airport is still "Washington National" to me. Dymaxion[/QUOTE]
