While I have no evidence or information on the matter (You may
ask, then, why this is going to net.politics :-)), it wouldn't
surprise me a bit if Reagan is/has been doing all those things.

Now for some perspective:

How many of you realize that Lincoln, when he was president, was
just as bad (Second plug for "Lincoln" by Gore Vidal)?  He suspended
Habeas Corpus capriciously, jailing political opponents and dissenting
"gentlemen of the press" at will.  The reason he gave for fighting the
South was not slavery, but that the Constitution did NOT give the states
the power to secede.  It never seemed to bother him that in the process
of rectifying things he ran roughshod over the very Constitution he
claimed he was upholding.

This is not to say Ronnie Raygun should be excused for anything he did.
But I've noticed an intolerance for any kind of president in recent years.

People expect perfect presidents.  The problem is we haven't had ANY!
