ezs note: I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air. Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap. We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

Leeja Miller - How Reagan Ruined Everything
Credit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7dHvqA-WB4
ezs note: When I first ran across a blog that was critical of Ronald Reagan, I was hesitant. Not that they were wrong - they weren't. It's that most of them were just a wee priggish. Or a lot. Finally, I opened Leeja's blog - and wow! She's smart, funny and fresh. I decided to put up on Sundays Leeja's blog. If you look at the broad spectrum, she's a lawyer who advocates human rights - and more specifically LGBT+ rights. Please keep reading. I think you'll enjoy.
