An airport and an aircraft carrier have been named after him. The Reagan Legacy Project has dozens of similar projects in the hopper. Efforts to have post offices renamed, coins struck, and highways dedicated in his honor are underway. There's even talk of a memorial around the National Mall.
These are all fitting but somehow...insufficient. Only Mt. Rushmore suffices.

Let's wait another generation and then decide. Those on the mount have shown themselves in the eyes of history as worthy of being there. It's still too soon to provide an accurate appraisal of the Regan legacy.

You want to memorialize the man whose administration oversaw the beginning of the end of the middle class, a president who violated the Constitution he swore to uphold, and the one who set us on our current path:
One percent of the people owning everything; the rest of us, their serfs
Theocracy, and divine right of kings
anti-science
Reagan, building that bridge to the 13th century.
Besides, the guy was a moron.

I would agree to it only if FDR was put up there with him. But surely, Reagan had quite a few dark doings and skeletons in his closet. He is not the great leader many like to think and make him out to be.

Reagan supported Saddam, Al-Quaeda, and Noriega.
Any leader that supports dictatorships or terrorist groups elsewhere even if they are supposedly acting in our favor is not deserving of Mt. Rushmore.
Of course, doing so could actually solve our energy problems. Our founding fathers would be spinning in their graves so fast that all we would need to do is wrap copper wire around their graves to generate infite electricity.

Only if you think Reagans policy of running away from terrorists in Beirut after they killed hundreds of our soldiers and financially supporting bin Laden in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussien in Iraq was a good idea.

Washington,Jefferson,Lincoln,T Roosevelt...reagan? why limit your adoration to Rushmore? if you want to genuflect to the guy just start a religion. there are plenty of true believers out there who would be quick to sign up. no doubt g.w. could also be included in the deity.
