People forget that Reagan tried to turn the clock back on Civil Rights legislation, did everything he could to dismantle hard won legislation to protect the environment, and was the first president to really embrace the idea of deregulation (and look what disaster has resulted from that!)<br /><br /> Eventually though, he came around to realizing that when you work as a president, you have to modify and compromise, and most tea partiers and right wingers would today consider many of his ideas to be 'liberal.' <br /><br /> But to label Barack Obama a liberal president is really naive. Obama is left of center, but he is a moderate. It's amazing that the Republican Party has moved so far to the right, and is so beholden to extremists like the tea party crowd, that they've lost sight of this.<br /><br /> Rockefellar, Nixon, and Gerald Ford would all be considered 'Liberals' by most hard core members of the 'Grand Old Party' today. <br /><br />By the way....here is the definition of the word liberal, directly from the Encarta World English Dictionary:<br /><br />"Broad-minded and tolerant with different views and standards of behavior in others....favoring gradual reform, especially political reforms that extend democracy, distribute wealth more evenly and protect the personal freedom of the individual.. Generous with money, time, or some other asset." <br /><br /> I don't understand why some folks consider these less than admirable qualities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-24248186062299320962012-07-07T11:45:46.853-07:002012-07-07T11:45:46.853-07:00I can only say, thank goodness we have Michael Kr...I can only say, thank goodness we have Michael Krasney on KQED each weekday from 9 am until 11am. Without annoying commercial breaks, Krasny is actually able to get deep into important and interesting topics with intelligent conversation.<br /><br /> It's too bad that local AM talk radio has become so 'dumbed down' over the last 15 years. I think it's a result of media consolidation, less creative broadcasting people in the front office,<br />and a general slothfulness on the part of listeners.<br /><br /> People have become so lazy, intellectually speaking, in this country, that many don't even understand the most basic functions of their own government. It's no wonder why so many are fondly recalling 'the good old days of the 1950-90s, because we had a better quality of life, and a higher educational level than we do today in this country. Radio is merely a reflection of how we have lost our 'greatness.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-88904650367667801182012-07-07T07:20:19.766-07:002012-07-07T07:20:19.766-07:00Oh yes he is!!!Oh yes he is!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-36973636037153427142012-07-06T21:33:30.476-07:002012-07-06T21:33:30.476-07:00Milk toast?

But I never warmed to him because I am Israeli. Like many pro-Israel Americans, he could never find fault with Israel, no matter how egregiously we acted toward Palestinians. That and the fact that he seemed to think any threat, real or perceived, big or small, toward Israel should be always be met with large martial response. This is far too easy to advocate when you are sitting in the relative safety of the US. But those of us who live or have lived there, know that more measured responses have proved more effective toward peace and stability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-81540726748854560692012-07-05T22:13:27.723-07:002012-07-05T22:13:27.723-07:00I agree with 3:10pm.

Rothman's strength (the Middle East) is also his achilles heel. People tire out of Muslim Brotherhood talk and his Israel is never wrong stances. There is no surprise to any of his political positions! Gross, for all his faults at least mixes it up with topics and is not as predictable. If I were in power I would remove Alan Colmes from 7 to 10 and put Rothman in his place. Gross followed by Rothman is a winning combo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
