Did we still define government on those founding beliefs? A people that could be self-governed or would we continue to redefine our definition of government until it was completely transformed into totalitarianism. Reagan believed there was no right or left to decide between; he believed there was only a government and people evolving or decaying.…

It is still unclear whether Reagan himself was in charge of the Iran Contra scandal or if he was only aware of what his administration was doing and decided to neglect interfering with the issue.

I’m not quite understanding of your comment. Are you saying that former Presidents Reagan and Clinton were as vocal against George Dukakis and George W.
