Ronald Reagan
Buyer’s Remorse for Some Evangelicals
Evangelical Christians, who once were content with staying out of earthly concerns, have grown into an influential subset of American politics. Not all who identify with this label vote in unison.

Kidnapping Drama’s Villain Is Reagan-Quoting, Right-wing Cop
ABC’s Big Sky has been making enemies across both political parties lately. First, it was from not properly representing indigenous kidnap victims in television (really).
