Ronald Reagan is a symbol of how far this country has fallen in terms of humanitarianism in just few decades.

As a conservative, Reagan did many things, too many to list, that upset the bejeepers out of progressives like me. But at least he wasn’t a twisted, hateful, unAmerican madman like the Republicans of today.

Think for a minute how miserably unsuccessful you’d be running as a GOP candidate on the platform that Reagan articulated at left.

Now it’s, “Unless you’re a wealthy white guy, say, from Sweden, we don’t want you anywhere near the United States.”

Does this guy have a solid point?

Is war a bad thing? What about rape and torture?

Do they point to weaknesses that must be strengthened?

I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)

Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
