A couple years ago at multiple different times, Rand Paul boldly challenged the Reagan myth with simple facts about how his record clearly contradicted his rhetoric - in practice, the Gipper was a bigger government guy than Jimmy Carter before him!
Unfortunately, these days Rand is having to pay obeisance to Saint Reagan on Fox News and elsewhere in an attempt to play politics....something which I think is doomed to fail -- his dad launched the liberty movement precisely because he did not do this, and the neocons will never be convinced he's not his father's son anyway, so why bother?
But I digress, check out this short compilation. The real Rand was pretty great. I guess the lefty progressive makers of the video are trying to harm him politically (maybe it will, Thou shalt not speak ill of Reagan), but this makes me kinda like him again!
