Mmmmm ….. I seem to remember him in a different light….
… as the man who provided the FBI with names of actors whom he believed to be communist sympathizers within the motion picture industry
… as the man who opposed certain civil rights legislation, and on one occasion saying "If an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes or others in selling or renting his house, it is his right to do so".
.. as the man who, when Medicare was introduced in the early 1960’s, created a recording for the American Medical Association warning that such legislation would mean the end of freedom in America.
… as the man who raised the national debt from $997 billion to $2.85 trillion during his Presidency
… as the man who used the proceeds from covert arms sales to Iran to fund the Contras in Nicaragua, which had been specifically outlawed by an act of Congress. (In 1986 the USA was found guilty by the International Court of Justice of war crimes against Nicaragua).
But then, we all have our differing thoughts and opinions.
