quote [ I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still. ]
They are showing over and over again their principals are as phony as their hero worship of Saint Ronny.

Rent in DC may be high, but not so much in conservatives' heads.

A Reagan Legacy: Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants
This was the model for the 2006 and 2013 Immigration Bills both of which passed the senate with over 60 votes.

So, the modern US Democratic party is now as right-wing as the Republicans were in the 80s? That's not really something to crow about.

Clearly political platforms, political parties, change. Political allegiances, I think, not so much.
