Why not? He did allow the AIDS epidemic to fester and kill millions...
You forgot expanding/keeping alive the war on drugs, massive governmental expansion which made FDR or LBJ seem tame, massive deficits... Significant doesn't have to mean good.

I know but I still wouldn't rank him in the top four.
The US under Carter was starting to move off of oil dependence, Reagan reversed the gains made in the carter years and thus is responsible for the imminent problems caused by peak oil.

Why do conservatives worship a man who did nothing but endless deficits, prevent us from being more energy efficient and nearly(nearly in his term that is but after Bush's deficits...) make the US go the way of the soviets for the same reasons(bankruptcy due to military spending/excessive deficits)? I thought Conservatives were pro-america and not anti-american.

Significant doesn't have to mean good. Reagan earns a place on the list because he's a bad man who sold out America's future in a way which would make Henry Wallace look like FDR in patriotism.
