Luis, first let me say good for you for actually getting out there, away from the keyboard, doing what you can to advance the cause of conservatism, supporting candidates you believe in. I was a Freeper the same time you were and remember the A-holes that began posting there, chasing many good people off the forum. and Jim allowing it to get that way, maybe even pushing it that way. Political topics , especially during election season got heated, but religion topics were the worse of them all.
I agree with your perspective of Ann Coulter. I use to like her on FOX years ago, but after buying a few of her books, and getting into her head just a bit, I found she didn't think like me at all, purposely using provocative language to get her point across. Points I often disagree with. Reagan didn't speak or write like that - and I have a collection of all his published letters, essays, and manuscripts from his old radio commentary. Ann is so un-Reaganlike, and turns out to be like the loud-mouth at the end of the bar, not much different than Michael Savage, if you ever listen t his show. I'm not sure what Ann was doing in 1980, but if she had a TV or radio voice, she would have been anti-Reagan, and supporting the anti-establishment / populist GOP candidate John Anderson, the Donald Trump of that election, who by the way dropped out after his polls began dropping and ran as an independent.
