Well it was basically a decade of the rise of republicanism. It was where not much progress happened. IT kinda stagnated. It was dominated by scandals as well such as the teapot dome scandal. At the end, it was when the depression started.

What did the country look like before he became President?  High unemployment, high interest rates, high unemployment and failed foreign policy.  Reagan was a man of action and took those issues head on, to positive result.

I would say that the biggest similarity is that they were all presidents of the US during a domestic crisis. Hoover had to try to fix the great depression if memory serves me well, and Carter had to deal with the backlash of Watergate and backlash from the Iran Hostage issue. Finally, Reagan had to deal with the economic depression with his major government spending and Reaganomics. One could also argue that all of them were similar because of there materialism and failure of their social programs.

Ronald Reagan.  Because no matter how corrupt his cabinet was, people still liked him.  He also got away with kicking a lot of terrorist ***, and he helped end the cold war.

Here is what made even Democrats like Reagan:\n\nImagine you are a regular working class guy in 1980.  Your whole existence is starting to look outdated and shabby.  There is shag carpeting in the living room and avocado green appliances in the kitchen.  Your car is rusting in the driveway.  Your salary can't even keep pace with inflation, and the American dream is starting to look like the American nightmare.\n\nInstead of talking about the superiority of noble American ideals such as freedom and democracy, social critics start talking about "moral equivalency", as if democracy is no better than Communism.  To make matters worse, the Soviets are on the march all across the world.  It's starting to look like the Communists will eventually gain global domination.  People are wondering how much longer the American way of life can continue.\n\nJimmy Carter is talking about malaise, and how our best days are behind us.\n\nThen, Ronald Reagan gallops onto the scene, like John Wayne arriving just in time to save the fort against the indian attack.  Reagan tells us our best days are ahead of us.  He reminds us of the incredible accomplishments our nation has achieved throughout the years.  He restores our pride, and he gives us confidence.\n\nPeople start to feel better about the future.  They feel that, with Reagan in charge, things really will get better. For the first time in a long time, they are proud to be American.\n\nI remember seeing a political cartoon in the Chicago Tribune in which Reagan is flying out the window like Peter Pan.  Inside the room, are nervous investors, but Reagan tells them not to be afraid... they can fly!\n\nThat was Reagan's genius.  People sensed his strength of leadership and his resolve.  If he told you things were getting better, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.\n\nReagan gave incentives for businesses to invest in future technologies, upgrade their existing infrastructure, and engage in more research and development, all of which led to the tech boom of the 1990s, during Clinton's presidency.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Mrs. Reagan, members of the President's family, colleagues, distinguished guests, members of the diplomatic corps, fellow citizens:\n\nKnowing that this moment would come has not made it any easier to see the honor guard, and the flag draped before us, and to begin America's farewell to President Ronald Reagan. He said goodbye to us in a letter that showed his great courage and love for America. Yet for his friends and for his country, the parting comes only now. And in this national vigil of mourning, we show how much America loved this good man, and how greatly we will miss him.\n\nA harsh winter morning in 1985 brought the inaugural ceremony inside to this Rotunda. And standing in this place for the 50th presidential inauguration, Ronald Reagan spoke of a nation that was "hopeful, big-hearted, idealistic, daring, decent, and fair." That was how he saw America, and that is how America came to know him. There was a kindness, simplicity, and goodness of character that marked all the years of his life.....\n\nSee the rest of it here:

Yes, but the people who voted Ronald Reagan greatest American of all time must have forgotten. It was one of the most serious crimes ever committed by any US administration. All these people who love to bandy the word 'treason' about when talking about liberals should ask themselves what selling arms to the enemy is.

Politically they both scored great landslides in their bids for the Presidency.  I think that Reagan would have took Nixon in a knock down drag out fight as well as would have beat him politically as well.  Reagan as an actor played his greatest role as a politician.

Ronald Reagan, hands down. He brought back the love for America to all generations. He was a moral and compassionate man, yet a stern and strong leader. He was "The Great Communicator." Reagan was known for his ability to express ideas and emotions in an almost personal manner, even when making a formal address\n\nDuring the Reagan presidency, the inflation rate dropped from 13.6% in 1980 (President Carter's final year in office) to 4.1% by 1988, the economy added 16,753,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell from 7.5% to 5.3% (although it increased at one point peaking near 10%). In addition, the poverty rate fell from 14% to 12.8%.\n\nReagan made the abolition of communism and the implementation of supply-side economics the primary focuses of his presidency, but he also took a strong stand against abortion. He published the book Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation, which decried what Reagan saw as disrespect for life, promoted by the practice of abortion. Many conservative activists refer to Reagan as the most pro-life president in history.\n\nMy Favorite President.\nA Reagan Republican\n\nClinton: demoralized America, and opened the door to Liberalism.  Clinton taxed the small business and working class to death while handing tax supported perks out to the largest muliti National corporations, the media loves this and the working class had no voice in the matter.\nClinton was very wise at dividing us all into groups and pitting each group against each other.\n\nCLINTON ADMINISTRATION RECORDS SET\n- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance\n- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates\n- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation\n- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify\n- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly\n- First president sued for sexual harassment.\n- First president accused of rape.\n- First first lady to come under criminal investigation\n- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case\n- First president to establish a legal defense fund.\n- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions\n- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad\n\n\nThank God, President Bush has put morality back into the presidency.

read "Hunger In America" at the library. If you have read some you would know Reagan refused to do anything about AIDS in America, he called it a gay disease. He was also the subject of a National Protest called "Hands acrost America". Reagan's policys are in play now under Bu$h, Reagan also loved debt and he loved spending on the military and cutting all programs that would help average working Americans.

Ronald Reagan was never a Freemason.  He did recieve a certificate of commendation from the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, but they can't make anyone a Freemason.  \n\nThe last Freemason who was President was Brother Gerald Ford.

Ronald Reagan\n\n        "It wasn't widely circulated until the publication of Donald Regan's memoir, For the Record in 1988, that President Reagan and his influential wife sought the advice of an astrologer.  Time magazine would later identify Ron and Nancy's chart reader as being San Francisco astrologist Joan Quigley.  Quigley was not the first astrologer the Reagans had consulted.  Ronald and Nancy Reagan had a long history of involvement with astrologers and psychics.  During the 1950's and 1960's, Ron and Nancy enlisted the services of Hollywood astrologer Carroll Righter, and later Jeane Dixon.  In his 1965 autobiography, Where's the Rest of Me?, Reagan said that he and Righter were friends, and that he and Nancy read Righter's column "regularly." (It was on Righter's advice that Reagan postponed his inauguration as governor of California for 9 minutes until the auspicious moment of 12:10 a.m.)"
