On this day in history, November 4, 1980, Ronald Reagan elected president: 'Morning again in America

Conservative icon Ronald Reagan, the former Hollywood leading man and California governor who outwitted the American political elite to reach the Oval Office, was elected president of the United States on this day in history, Nov. 4, 1980.

His "triumph capped the rise of the new right/conservative wing of the Republican Party and ushered in a new era of governing," writes the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.

"Reagan served as arguably the first true conservative U.S. president in over 50 years. [He] advanced domestic policies that featured a lessening of federal government responsibility in solving social problems, reducing restrictions on business, and implementing tax cuts."

He also implemented a muscular foreign policy that many historians say led to the downfall of the Soviet Union and largely ended communism as a viable political philosophy on the global stage.

Reagan easily defeated the sitting president, Democrat Jimmy Carter, who oversaw what he himself called the American "malaise" in an infamously dour July 1979 speech............

On this day in history, November 5, 1980, I was kicked out of my US & Virginia Government class by my bitchy power-wielding leftist teacher for daring
 to walk into class with a satisfactory wide-beaming grin on my face.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

The leftists power in the classroom has been going on for decades and that's why the GOP will continue to lose.

Anderson was the GOP Establishment's last ditch effort to deny Ronald Reagan the White House.

I was thinking about Reagan today. Perhaps our last president to have been worth anything.
