question to the americans: do you think your country was so full of zealots like 25 years ago?
Yes, I acan agree with notyou2, Raegan, Bush Sr, McCain are republicans that I could respect, but the rest of them are almost as scary as the masses voting for them.

Can agree with that list except Regan,and its a tough choice this go around looks like either way we are screwed, it may come down to a choice of lesser of two evils and who that is is still not clear

What is a "zealot?" Let's take Reagan. George HW Bush once called Reagan's economics "Voodoo." The media was constantly complaining about what a loose canon Reagan was both before he was president and while he was president. His defense initiative was called "Star Wars" because they insisted it was science fiction if not outright science fantasy.

Ever hear of the "Silent Majority?" That's even older than Reagan; it was a term developed by Nixon.
What about the "Moral Majority?" That was started by Falwell in 1979 and went through the 80's.
Talk radio started in the 1990's.

Yes, zealots have been with us in the US for a very long time.

Wasn't disagreeing with the zealots part, was arguing Regan being respected in the same sentence as Bush and McCain
