George Will on Reagan: “An Emersonian President?”

If this article is anything like George Will’s JLF speech on Feb. 23rd, we have a real treat in store for us.
 

A sample: 

“To Reagan, the idea of
problems inherent in democracy was unintelligible because it implied
that there were inherent problems with the demos — the people. There
was nothing — nothing — in Reagan’s thinking akin to
Lincoln’s melancholy fatalism, his belief (see his Second Inaugural)
that the failings of the people on both sides of the Civil War were the
reasons why “the war came.'”
