Ronald Reagan was a Rescuer

 “His experiences as a Lifeguard left him with a sense that he could rescue those in need.

In The Movies, he played 

The Hero who came to The Rescue —

He felt that he was playing himself.

As President, 

The World was his Stage, 

The Script was his own —
 

And the possibilities for Rescue, were ENORMOUS.

 The Detente Treaties, 

ABM, SALT, SALT-II 

had the deeply reckless effect of reducing the tension, 

whilst increasing the danger of Global Thermonuclear Warfare between the Superpowers.


“Reagan was NOT AFRAID of The Monolith — 

I Think He Felt Jimmy Carter Was, 

I Think He May Have Thought Gerald Ford Was.

Reagan was NEVER AFRAID of The Soviet Union — 

and he hated it, very much.

So the only powerful, negative emotion he’s had in his life 

was this animus against this Totalitarian System…"
