Achievements of the Reagan Administration
In his letter Senesi urged his fellow Americans not to lose the patriotic momentum that President Reagan has set in motion with his “Leadership That’s Working.” He wrote as if the Iran/ contra scandal was an annoying interruption in the good times at hand.
Yes, Mr. Senesi, this Administration has enjoyed some successes. But all of the successes have been accompanied with the notion that they were successes because the “pride is back.”
If we delude ourselves into keeping up this “renewed” pride in ourselves despite rational reasons to continue questioning our motives and our leaders’ actions, then we embark on a very dangerous path.
