Is Reagan really dead?

Why is it that the Clinton administration (1992-2000) failed to change many of the policies established during the previous twelve years? Could it be because, although Clinton and the Democrats offered a critique of Reaganism, they did not challenge the basis of Neo-conservative ideology. The basis of Reaganism, meaning corporate capitalism, easily survived and even flourished under Clinton. You could say that Clinton saved neo-conservatism from self-destructing, much the same way that F.D.R. saved corporate capitalism in the 1930s and 1940s. Clinton merely gave the military/industrial/media complex the chance to pause and consolidate its power.

With the election of George W. Bush, this was only a shift from idealistic corporatism to crude corporate power, much like the shift from Lenin to Stalin. Today we suffer under an ideology of unbridled corporate power. If you believed that George II cared about small business and Christian values, then you probably also believed that Reagan's death during the presidential campaign was a coincidence.....
