re: #139 Dark_Falcon
No, you really do need to sketch how you think Ronald Reagan lead to Bryan Fischer. I hear that said often, but it isn’t really explained how such a thing happened. Reagan never favored Fischer’s extremist policies, as has been pointed out here before. Fischer’s presented vision of REAGAN!!1 bears little resemblance to the actual Ronald W. Reagan.
