    Reagan Lecture Series continues March 7
    The next installment of the Ronald Reagan Lecture Series will be held at 7:30 p.m. March 7 at the Cascades Senior Center, 21060 Whitfield Place, Sterling.

    Economist and political commentator John Lott will be the featured speaker. An established Second Amendment advocate, Lott holds a doctorate degree from UCLA and is a frequent contributor to Fox News and the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

    This is the first year the Loudoun County-based Ronald Reagan Lecture Series is operating as a nonprofit group.

    Patricia Phillips, the series’ executive director, said her organization, while nonpartisan, aims to advance conservative ideas.

    A former district chair for the Loudoun County Republican Committee, Phillips said the challenges facing the U.S. “require 60-minute lectures, not 60-second sound bites,” and the Reagan series provides such a forum.

    Comments

    What is sad about this series so far is that Bolton and Lott are so far right that they would likely refer to a modern day Ronald Reagan as a no good RINO.  Most of the standard bearers of today’s GOP would. Reagan wouldn’t stand a chance of being nominated for President.  Yet they go around using his name like Reagan has some connection to what their modern agenda is.


    Wonder if Mary Rosh will make an appearance?  What a joke this Reagan series has become…


    from Wikipedia:

    “Lott created and used “Mary Rosh” as a sock puppet to defend his own works on Usenet and elsewhere. After investigative work by blogger Julian Sanchez, Lott admitted to use of the Mary Rosh persona. Sanchez also pointed out that Lott, posing as Rosh, not only praised his own academic writing, but also called himself “the best professor I ever had”.

    Many commentators and academics accused Lott of violating academic integrity, noting that he praised himself while posing as one of his former students, and that “Rosh” was used to post a favorable review of More Guns, Less Crime on Amazon.com. Lott has claimed that the “Rosh” review was written by his son and wife.

    “I probably shouldn’t have done it—I know I shouldn’t have done it—but it’s hard to think of any big advantage I got except to be able to comment fictitiously,” Lott told the Washington Post in 2003.
