This is the comment I posted in response to an article at Front Porch Republic:
Your article and that photo remind me: Saint Ronald is my hero but one time I shuddered at what he said. It was when he said he wanted to take Gorbachev on a helicopter ride over the suburbs of Los Angeles to show him all the homes with swimming pools, and tell him those were the homes of the workers. (I don’t have the exact words.) It seemed to me kind of demeaning to our best national aspirations.
My favorite newspaper bothered me the same way when it claimed to be the Daily Diary of the American Dream.
