11 Principles of a Reagan Conservative by Paul Kengor

5.0

In 11 Principles of a Reagan Conservative acclaimed Reagan biographer and presidential historian Paul Kengor paints the first comprehensive picture of Reagan’s beliefs. He identifies 11 principles, what he calls his “Reagan Eleven,” that comprised Reagan's conservatism. “These eleven,” says professor Kengor, “tell us what Reagan’s conservatism was truly about, and what his emulators might take to heart.” Here are those 11 principles:

· Freedom

· Faith

· Family

· Sanctity and dignity of human life

· American exceptionalism

· The Founders’ wisdom and vision

· Lower taxes

· Limited government

· Peace through strength

· Anti- Communism

· Belief in the individual

A great fast light read for those interested in Reagan and conservative politics.
