Ronald Prescott "Ron" Reagan (born May 20, 1958) is an American former talk radio host and political analyst for KIRO radio and later, Air America Radio, where he hosted his own daily three-hour show. He is a commentator and contributor to programming on the MSNBC cable news and commentary network. He is noted for his liberal views, despite being the son of conservative former United States President, Ronald Reagan. ==Early life== Reagan was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the son of Ronald Reagan and his second wife, Nancy Davis Reagan. He moved to Sacramento while his father was governor of California from 1967 to 1975. His sister Patti Davis is five and a half years older. His half-brother Michael Reagan, adopted as an infant by Ronald Reagan and his first wife Jane Wyman, is 13 years older than he is. He also had two half-sisters born to Reagan and Wyman: Maureen Reagan (1941–2001) and Christine Reagan, who was born prematurely June 26, 1947 and died later the same day. Ron Reagan undertook a different philosophical and political path from his father at an early age. At 12, he became an atheist and told his parents that he would not be going to church anymore.〔("20 Questions: Ron Reagan" ), by Betsy Rothstein, ''The Hill'', September 24, 2008.〕 Reagan attended and was expelled from The Webb School of California. He commented: "They (school administration ) 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."〔 Reagan dropped out of Yale University in 1976 after one semester to become a ballet dancer.〔 He joined the Joffrey Ballet in pursuit of his lifelong dream. ''Time'' wrote in 1980: "It is widely known that Ron's parents have not managed to see a single ballet performance of their son, who is clearly very good, having been selected to the Joffrey second company, and is their son nonetheless. Ron talks of his parents with much affection. But these absences are strange and go back a ways." President Reagan and Nancy went to see Ron perform at the Lisner Auditorium on Monday, May 18, 1981. President Reagan commented in his White House diary on this day that Ron's performance was reminiscent of Fred Astaire.〔(White House Diary: May 18, 1981 ), reaganlibrary.com; accessed September 2, 2014.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ron Reagan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
