Reagan Was Like Avatar: Great, But Empty

In a lot of ways, Reagan was a lot like the movie Avatar. Reagan was a great communicator, just like Avatar was visually stunning. But underneath it all, the substance was lacking. For both.

Reagan said a lot of great things about big government, how it encroaches upon our lives and must be pushed back, but during his tenure, not a lot of that happened.

Avatar was beautiful on the outside, but the plot was a hoary old tale, heavily biased against business, technology and civilization.

For both, the masses were fooled into thinking they were both great. At least the sentiments that Reagan espoused, even if they were not implemented during his time, are still pretty valid, and are now being carried by a new crew, which I hope not only believes in the words, but is willing to undertake the actions to make those words real.
