This makes me want to vomit. This number was picked out of thin air so people could think "and a Democrat was president for 8 -- the majority-- of those years!".
You want freedom and democracy, you better include Reagan. Other than this utterly despicable lack of thought on his part, the article is sorta okay.

Look hardass -- that number (15 years) roughly coincides with the dissolution of the U.S.S.R. and its Eastern European empire.
Coincidence? You decide.
RR had ridden off into the sunset by then. (The GOP has been shouting "Shane! Come back, Shane! Shane!" ever since.)
