...conservative policies? ...both domestic and foreign?

Is he the reason neocons today don't have a clue about being a conservative?

No. He was a conservative on all that mattered. Don't get caught up in every irrelevant detail.

And for Gods sake stop using the idiotic word neocon. There is an actual definition of that word and it has nothing to do with how conservative you are. I have never heard or read anyone using that label and having anything intelligent to say at the same time. Including this.

You're a little confused. Reagan was President.

Tip O'Neill, which is who you are referring to in this question, was the Speaker of the House, and he along with his liberal cronies are responsible for the liberal policies you're putting on Reagan here.

neocon, by definition, is not the same as a conservative...that is why they are called neo-conservatives, and not just conservatives.

a neocon will never be a conservative...just like a liberal will never be a conservative.

I'm glad we had this chat

Yes, it is a joke. As already noted in your previous post he was much like the Progressive President Woodrow Wilson. Though Regan did oppose unions, and Wilson was for unions.
