Want to know why Ron Reagan and Patti Davis are liberals?

1. that must be why monica lewinsky is a liberal too.

and this guy, of course:

2. doesn't mean that everyone who went to JTD is a liberal

but at the time that they attended JTD was definitely a place where a liberal ethos prevailed.

3. i think it wasn't the school.

Reagan began going down a different philosophical and political path from his famous father at an early age. At 12, he became an atheist and told his parents that he wouldn't be going to church any more.<1>

Reagan was expelled from The Webb Schools of California, a private prep school. He comments:

"They thought I was a bad influence on the other kids. As I recall, the immediate reason was I went to a dance at a neighboring girl’s school in a classmate’s car. This was an infraction. They had been looking for an excuse. I didn’t get caught at anything."<1>

maybe the times & the fact that his parents were bought-off hypocrites & liars?

maureen reagan is listed as an alumnus too.

i believe she was a winger?

6. The Webb school is not JTD

I think it was the school. I went there too- and at the same time. Patti was in my class.

7. i didn't say it was. that was a different school he got kicked out of. you missed the part

about deciding he was an atheist at 12 & being something of a non-conformist in his previous school.

i figured it was *your* school.

as i said, maureen is also an alumnus.

guess the liberal conditioning didn't take.

4. maybe because they did marry a republican like their dad?

ronnie was a fdr democrat until he married nancy. the poor boy from dixon finally made it to the big time.

5. he was a climber always. being a democrat was good cover for his work as a

snitch.
