I remember thinking at the time that Reagan had been incredibly mean to Carter, cutting him completely out of even greeting the returnees. The new guy comes in and the new guy takes full credit. The ever-so-genial Reagan hadn't the simplest decency to include Carter.

Google up Allan Weisbecker's essay on The Deep State. You'll be amazed at what simply paying attention to what the media "has to say" can reveal.

Thanks for this post, ConBlog
