Ron Reagan, the biological son of former President Ronald Reagan, is the last person that anyone would ask what his father thought about political going ons. Ron is a wacky liberal and wouldn’t know his father’s thoughts if the Gipper came back from the grave and told him point blank what they were. Ron would still go out and tell the world the exact opposite. Asking a flaming liberal like Ron what President Reagan would have thought is like asking an insane person to explain sanity. It just is not going to happen.
But Ron who is still upset that he is second fiddle to Michael, Ronald Reagan’s adopted son and popular conservative commentator, still tries to go out and put himself forth as the keeper of the Reagan name. The problem has always been however that if anyone understood their father, it was Michael.
Ron Jr. is out and about, having a lot of free time on his hands being a pundit on seldom watched MSNBC and having failed as a radio talk show host. And he is out there towing the liberal line and trying to make everyone believe that his father would have looked unkindly upon the Tea Party movement.
Yes, the man that wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in the ass actually thinks people are taking him seriously when he says this. Well, at least Joy Behar is I guess …
Ron Reagan, a liberal Democrat, told Behar last month that the Gipper, a conservative icon who would have turned 99 last weekend, would’ve been turned off by the modern Tea Party.
“Oh I think he would be unamused by the tea partiers with their Hitler signs and all the rest of it,” he said. “No, I don’t think he’d be cottoning to that much at all.”
Ron Reagan went on to say that despite the troubles of the Democratic Party, the GOP is a “true train wreck.”
“Look at Sarah Palin and Scott Brown,” he said.
Yeah, that is about as deep of a thought that you are going to get out of Ron Jr. He is playing to the liberal crowd who need not any facts to support such accusation. Instead he spouts the cliched claims of the left, pats himself on the back and thinks he has won. Uh, Ronnie-boy, how exactly are Sarah Palin and Scott Brown, “train wrecks?” Is it because they are just not liberals like you and your buddies?
Let’s ignore that liberalism is a train wreck I suppose. It is an ideology that has failed at every attempt and on every level.
Now it is true that Reagan was not a fan of having a third party. But the Tea Party movement is not a third party. At least not yet. It is however a popular uprising against the liberal ways of Washington. And even if it did become a political party, who is to say that it would be a “third party?” Recent polls have shown that “Tea Party Candidates” have more support than Republican Party candidates when the Republican candidate is liberal. That would make the Republicans the third party in reality and not the Tea Party. And Scott Brown was not a Tea Party candidate either. He was a Republican supported by the Tea Party movement. Even in NY-23 the candidate that eventually ran as a “third party candidate” was really a Republican who was shunned by the party and had many times more support than the liberal Republican did! Again, hardly a true “third party candidate.”
But I think Michael Reagan said it best in response to this blather:
“Unlike my brother, I campaigned with and for my father in 1976 and in 1980 — and I feel more qualified to say what he would and would not have supported,” Michael Reagan said.
“He would be applauding the grassroots organization of this country and Sarah Palin for making herself available to elect conservative candidates.”
Well, hard to argue with those facts. While Michael was standing by his father’s side on a regular basis, Ron Jr. was looking for someone to help put the silver spoon back in his mouth because to do it himself would have been beneath him. But it should not come as any surprise that a liberal without a brain in his head is out there trying to talk down to the Tea Party movement since they fear it like a vampire fears garlic.
Nice try Ron but NO SOUP FOR YOU!
