So, according to your logic, Americans think Congress is "broken" because they did their jobs and confirmed a judge even though *gasp* she had the gall to criticize Saint Reagan thirty years ago?

No. Congress is broken because they rubber-stamp Obama's bigots like this one.
thanks again Knife.....now dottie will do another whiny thread on you doing all these threads down in the FZ....12 Republicans voted Aye while 6 didn't vote – including Cruz, Rubio & Sanders
No wonder Americans think Congress and Washington are broken. (At least my GOP Senator voted No) Read the story @ Senate Confirms Obama Nominee Who Called Reagan a Bigot
Of course Cruz and Rubio didn't vote. They have the shittest attendance record in the Senate. Why should this vote be any different?

Same with Obama, but it did not keep the far left drones from voting for him..
It is cute to watch the far left believe they get a choice in their nominations..
Reagan was a bigot. The nominated judge was a college student when she made the1989 statement. Reagan had opposed the Civil Rights Act, The Voting Rights Act and The Fair Housing Act in the 1960's and as President tried to prevent the bills from renewal in the 1980's. In addition, he vetoed the anti-apartheid bill and to top things off, ignored the aids epidemic and allowed massive numbers of Americans to suffer and die because the disease concentrated on gay men and drug users and the babies of aids victims.

Not at all. History determines whether a leader or historical figure was bigoted and puts the bigotry in the perspective of time periods in question. Did FDR have massive protest and criticism for his bigotry or did his bigotry coincide with the culture and attitudes of the time? Is he judged by standards of the 1930 or more modern times when the nations perspectives changed? What were the cultural attitudes of the time during the Reagan period? Did he meet the attitudes and cultural changes or did he try to remain in the past and hold on the outdated norms?Reagan was a bigot.

So bigot is now defined as someone not doing what you think he should do?

Perhaps, but FDR was in a precarious position. The General and commander in charge of security for the west coast wanted the Japanese removed from the west coast. Even though some intelligence reports downplayed the possibility of sabotage, it is hard to imagine that a President would ignore the General tasked with keeping the country safe and risk the consequences of an attack after being warned.Not at all.

Depends on who writes the history books.
FDR was a bigot because the sole motivation for the internment of Japanese Americans, many of whom were citizens, was heritage. That's a bigot.
Sounds to me as if you try to justify FDR's bigotry.
The downward slide for respect for Reagan and his diminishing popularity will continue as the younger generations study his place in history objectively and without the burden of propaganda and brand loyalty.
