P ar, O ne o f a T w o P ar, Series
by Leon Harris
The election of Ronald Reagan as President of the United States signaled
mote than the ouster o, Democrats as the political power base in America
I, brought into focus the idealism of the ultra right w ing Conservatives,
which, having lurked in the shadows over the years, seized the opportunity
to emerge as a force to be reckoned w ith after the Republican landslide
in ,980
The political ideology of the untra ngh, was made clear and simple during
the Nixon Presidency supporting the candidacy of elected officials and
election hopefuls w ho embraced their conservative philosophy, and advo
eating the defeat o f those w ho opposed them This well ■ onceived blue
print fot action, long on the draw ing boards, was tabled only after massive
political blunders, firs, by Nixon through W atergate, and subsequently by
Gerald Ford's pardoning of th e fo rm e r President
The aforementioned blueprint proposed counter measures to the accep
tance by most Americans tha, federal subsidy of social and self help pro
grams d id offer alternatives to a life of continued poverty related cycles
As an example, they view com m unity action type programs as a "breeding
ground for those radicals that w ould overthrow the governm ent w ith a
Communis, inspired agenda ' The truth o f the matter is, com m unity ac
tion agencies w e re breeding grounds" for a special segment of today s
society, as witnessed by the many minorities, especially Blacks and His
panics, w ho launched careers as businessmen, business women, and key
professionals in some of this country's leading corporations Not mention
ed are the politicians and other elected officials w ho have been "targeted ",
since, as policy makers, they are of special concern
Actually, in labeling such programs as havens for Communis, activities,
the ultra right exposes its ultimate goal it seeks to be embraced by those
w ho share its views and who also w ould discredit minorities
The Conservative Right has made significant gains in its efforts to recruit
new members and solicit contributions fo, expansion of its philosophy
As a self appointed w atch dog of the Federal Budget, it has effectively
lobbied conservative members of Congress ,o reduce or eliminate programs
designed to help this nation -, hungry, homeless and elderly And they are
able to accomplish this while strongly advocating quite successfully huqh
increases in our m ilitary budge, But, in order to ensure tha, this precon
ceived strategy w ould continue and be ongoing, the group knew tha, a
strong and well respected leader was needed one that was trustw orthy
as well

Ronald Reagan's campaign promises and conservative philosophy as
Governor of California appeared to fi, the criteria thus, the landslide vie
tory of the conservative slate
The election of President Reagan proved a bonanza for the ultra right
w ing His proposals to reduce or eliminate most federally subsidized pro
grams conform ed perfectly to its preconceived strategy
Reduction in
Headstart, Medicare, Medicade. W elfare, Small Business Adm inistration,
Veterans and countless other programs beneficial to the poor were announ
ced; bu, Nancy Reagan, Congress, public opinion and the media forced
the President to exclude Headstart His record defense budget was deve
loped under the "sm oke screen " o f shoring up this country's defenses
against an expanding Communis, threat
He sought to dismantle all A ffirm ative A ction programs and. though
rebuffed in par, by the courts, did indeed succeed (because of his adamant
opposition to A ffirm ative A ction, in forcing many businesses and learning
institutions to re think their Equal O pportunity policies
He showed businesses how to break the unions, creating an air o f hys
lena w ithin the ranks of labor He reduced taxes as promised during his
campaign and public opinion polls showed him to be one of the most popu
lar Presidents in history. Ronald Reagan was a hero The Conservative
Right had its leader W ha, they though, they had in Richard Nixon, had
hoped for in Gerald Ford, they found in Ronald Reagan
Their ship had come in And w ith Ronald Reagan at the helm, they be
gan to complete their encirclement o f the American dream, w ith hopes of
creating a new American way of life. They even gave it a name "Reagan
omics".
But, like most ships built w ith less than a solid foundation, problems
began ,o surface
Reaganomics, designed ,o stem the flo w of economic and social deve
lopmen, of minorities, proved to have more far reaching effects The farm
er in the cornbelt, w hich embraced Reaganomics w ith all its conservatism,
soon found it necessary to embrace welfare, food stamps and Unemploy
men, Compensation as a matter of survival
Reaganomics the brainchild of an adm inistration ben, on bringing a
nation together was emerging, instead, as a thrust, bringing about the
disintegration of the American family
