Here again is what I said:
NoNukes writes:
Somehow we cannot hold Reagan totally responsible for his own actions, because he should have been prevented him from being elected? Is that really any kind of argument?
In response to this:
We cannot blame everything on Reagan without looking to the failures that resulted in Reagan being elected.
To which you respond:
Where did I say that we cannot hold Reagan responsible for his own actions?
Reagan is completely responsible for his own actions. Surely you can see the attempt to say otherwise in your words quoted above. You deflect blame Reagan, at least in part, because Jimmy Carter was a bad candidate. That's not holding Reagan responsible for his own actions.

I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
