Reagan
June 30, 2005 ( politics )
Former US President Ronald Reagan has been voted the "greatest American" of all time by his fellow citizens.Mr Reagan, who died last year aged 93, topped a list of 10 contenders, which featured six former presidents.
He edged out Abraham Lincoln, who abolished slavery, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King
(BBC)
Sigh. Indeed. "Star Wars" missile defense and trickle-down economics and a 6 billion dollar debt created during his presidency are worth so very much more than, say, civil liberties.
