Ask anybody: “Who are the great men in human history?” Likely you will hear names such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, or perhaps even Ronald Reagan. What do these men have in common? What made them great? They were successful because they were powerful, and with this power they changed the course of history by their heroic actions, or by ruling countries or even whole continents. Ronald Reagan was born in 1911. I have said before I am not a Republican nor a Reagan fan, but it is significant history for northern Illinois and needs to be talked about. Today we see the Ronald Reagan Birthplace building. He was born in the second floor apartment of a commercial building in downtown Tampico, Illinois. Where did president Ronald Reagan go to college ? The Reagan’s lived in the second floor apartment. For a case of pareidolia, notice the apparition in the window, who could that be? From 1915-1919 the structure housed a bakery and from 1919-1931 a bank, First National Bank. Today the first and second floor have been restored. The first floor is a spot-on recreation of a 1920s bank that incorporates original elements from the building’s stint as a bank, such as the vault. The second floor is done as a period apartment from the era when the Reagan’s occupied the space. Interestingly, the apartment features a skylight in the center of its main room and is decorated to the period when the Reagans lived there, although none of the original Reagan furnishings are there. Did Ronald Reagan go to college ? The Graham Building matches up with the harmony of the rest of the district

he building is very similar to the other structures in the Main Street Historic District. It is two stories with three upper floor, flat-headed windows. The Graham Building also has a metal cornice which closely matches the cornice lines of the adjacent structures, contributing to the overall architectural harmony of the historic district. When I went it was July, 105 degrees, and the woman inside, a volunteer, seemed truly glad to see me. In fact she chased me down on the hot street. Initially, when I tugged at the door, I couldn’t get it to open, I think she thought I was inept but it really wouldn’t open. But she came outside to get me, eventually she gave me a free tour of the bank, the apartment and told me numerous tales about the Reagan family. Even recalling when Ronald Reagan actually visited the birthplace during the 1980s or 1990s or some such. It was very interesting and for her kindness I bought a magnet and donated five dollars to the museum. As president, Reagan implemented bold new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed “Reaganomics,” included deregulation and substantial tax cuts implemented in 1981. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, took a hard line against organized labor, and ordered military actions in Grenada. He was reelected in a landslide in 1984. Reagan’s second term was primarily marked by foreign matters, namely the ending of the Cold War, the bombing of Libya, and the revelation of the Iran-Contra affair. The president had previously ordered a massive military buildup in an arms race with the Soviet Union, forgoing the strategy of détente. He publicly described the USSR as an “evil empire” and supported anti-Communist movements worldwide. He negotiated with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, resulting in the INF Treaty and the decrease of both countries’ nuclear arsenals. Reagan left office in 1989; in 1994 the former president disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease earlier in the year and died ten years later at the age of ninety-three. He ranks highly among former U.S. presidents in terms of approval rating.

umm…Reagan wasn't the world's greatest president. He just has the world's greatest publicists.
As I drove from my home in Indiana to Atlanta, during his Presidency on I-75 close to Plains, Ga the citizens erected a sign apologizing to America for Carter.
If you read Carters books, you will see he loves the murdering Palestinians and hates the Israelis.
Between you and I of course it does. However if Obama's parents had asked me the same question; I think I would have taken the 5th and not attempted to dissuade them.
Universities have always been the places where idealistic people seem to prosper.
As far as the liberal views (ie. racism, gay rights, global warming), this really started with the "hippie" generation that consisted mainly of college students who, because they were in college, didn't have to go to Vietnam. Their views crept back into the universities because a good portion of them became faculty after realizing that they had spent way too many years in school and figured they might as well stay; just in another capacity.
There will always be people in colleges that consider themselves radicals. They use their tenure as a safety cushion and keep their jobs. They're not really as radical as they believe.
Propaganda has always existed and is a useful tool in converting the minds of others; especially youths. If you tell someone something over and over, they will eventually believe it.
My best advice is to just do the work and keep your beliefs to yourself. Most of your potential lies with how your professor feels about you. Kiss ass, do the work and try not to anger your professors. As long as you do that you shouldn't have too much to worry about.
Make up your own mind. Your opinion is just as valid as theirs. Unfortunately, they hold all of the cards until you have your degree. Good luck.
The fact don't lie. Conservatives are concrete operational thinkers (level 3) and more left leaning people can see the grey areas and are capable of abstract thinking (level 4). It is a matter of brain power really.
Conservatives obey and need to be told what to do.
BAHHHHH BAHHHHH ya know?
They are all highly educated, very experienced, and knowledgeable. They also all believe that the Official 9/11 Commission's Report is not addressing too many legitimate questions to be considered a legitimate endeavor and that "WE the People" deserve better. Like the truth, but that just isn't going to happen unless our Congress puts the interests of the people before the interests of the large media lobbyists and the people who probably have a little "dirt" on each member and could hypothetically be holding it over their heads as a threat to remain complacent or else.
Both were average presidents.
Gerald Ford did his country a great favor in taking on the presidency with calm and dignity in the wake of Richard Nixon’s resignation. As I recall, there was a great sigh of relief when Nixon went, and Ford stepped up. He undid himself with his pardon of Nixon leaving the Watergate scandal unresolved, legally speaking.
This is a fascinating debate because Reagan was a highly divisive president who had a reputation, particularly among the liberal media, of intellectual laziness. The media and the left felt, he was a puppet carefully manipulated by Jim Baker, Michael Deaver and Donald Regan, not to mention a variety of others who sought to use him for their own political gain.
Nevertheless, he didn't dance to the Washington fiddle.
But….a great president by popular definition is one who exceeds the strictures of the Constitution, therefore Reagan only marginally qualifies as does Ford.
i think that would be awesome if mccain won. kudos to you for mentioning the electoral college. a lot of people think that when they cast their vote, theres someone somewhere counting 'one billion, one million, four hundred seventy-three thousand, ninehundred and six ONE…' no way.
anywhoo… i think (and hope) that when hes elected, his job in his first term will dictate if he runs a second time. he has integrity which is rare in politicians, and i dont think he would run a second time if he goofed up the first.
