Thomas Sowell on Ronald Reagan

I greatly enjoyed Thomas Sowell’s latest column, his tribute to Ronald Reagan (1911 – 2004):

There are many ways to judge a President or anyone else. One old-fashioned way is by results. A more popular way in recent years has been by how well someone fits the preconceptions of the intelligentsia or the media.

By the first test, Ronald Reagan was the most successful President of the United States in the 20th century. By the second test, he was a complete failure.

Time and time again President Reagan went against what the smug smarties inside the beltway and on the TV tube said. And time and again he got results.

Read it all.
