On the day that Ronny Ray-gun has finally gone to hell I would like to tip my hat.

I would like to point out that around the time he was Gov of CA (telling the national guard to open fire on college students) liberals were taking a foothold in media culture. I'm not saying they actually won power to do much, but at that time there actually was such a thing as a liberal media. It wasn’t all media, but at least back then the idea wasn't laughable like it is today.

So did we do much with it? No. Jack shit, actually.

Oh, that's right. We stopped a war. That was good.

And there was the civil rights movement...

Damn. I really started this to suggest that when liberals had a chance to do something they sat back but now I see progress made.

Oh yeah... there were fuck ups along the way... corruption (Enron)... drug addiction (Rush)... also had liberal counterparts.

So what do you think? Did the liberals actually do anything with the few years they had 50% control of the national debate?

Okay Spankling, look. I usually hold a lot of respect for you, but this is fucking bullshit. You couldn't wait a day or two to do this crap? Some people actually fucking cared about Reagan, and just because YOU didn't like his politics is not a reason to talk shit on his fucking grave. Likewise I wouldn't say "THANK GOD HE'S DEAD!" if Clinton, Gore, or even Kerry passed. Have a little respect for the man, even if you don't like his politics, he's still a human being.

And I don't want to hear a word from Maak on this issue, becuase I know he'll just fuck it up and politicize it. This isn't about Dems Vs. Reps., this is about mutual respect and having a fucking heart.

Yikes.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

DX made a good point about him being human. I fell short of my ideal on that one, though I tried to be fair. I can intellectually agree that Hitler was human and that his life was precious. I just have a hard time accepting it in my heart.

I've edited this down many times. I'll try to grow up a little and leave it as is instead of adding more. I cannot celebrate his life. But I don't mean to celebrate his passing either.

As compassionate as liberals claim to be they always seem the ones rejoicing the most when someone dies. That doesn't make me angry, but maybe you need some quiet reflection time Spankling.

Also your comparrisons to Hitler would no doubt offend the families of Holocaust survivors. Equating the pain you feel when an opposing political party is in office with genocide is a bit grandiose at best. You might as well be saying all liberals were worse off than the slaves of the American South. I'd like to see how far you got on an ethnically diverse street corner saying something like that.

I encourage you to do some research about the Holocaust before you make such statements about anyone. Maybe you were trying to specifically target me with this post, but I sincerely do actually feel sad for you now.

Hey! Keep me out of this.

I thought Reagan was a moron too (Rambo is a republican! Dur hur!), but I wouldn't wish dying of alzheimer's on my worst enemy or even maak. Do you know how you die of alzheimer's? You eventually forget how to swallow your food, or how to breathe, or how to take a shit. You lose some sort of bodily function and then you die a slow, painful death like a newborn baby. I feel sorry for Reagan, even though I thought he died like two years ago. I guess he's just been a recluse for awhile.

Can we get back to liberal bashing now?

You do a pretty good job of bashing yourself.

I would ask you to explain but I would just get more clucking and feather flapping.

One thing to be said for Ronny. He didn't ask for a deferment and you can find more than dental records in his military file.

Nay. I'm just playing tag with his goat. I don't take these boards and comments seriously enough to involve throats. It's all good, clean cookies-and-milk fun, DX.

Dunno, seems pretty heated to me sometimes.

I ain't rejoicing, I'm totally apathetic. Why not? He's been brain-dead a couple decades anyway, and hasn't done any damage to our country in at least a decade, unless you count causing the embarassing chafing when the Bob Barrs of this world furiously masturbate every time they see his name or image.

The best we can do is almost forget him and only remember what he and his thugs did to this country -- the ruining of the economy, the incarceration of millions, the incubation of the Taliban and Osama, the crimes of Meese and Watt and North, et al...

Contras and Civ Rights and Libya, OH MY!

Reagan's dead. He personally hasn't been fucking up the country lately, it's just been his legacy doing it.

In other words, I'm completely apathetic. I resisted the urge to be happy about it, because I do love to watch evil people get theirs, but my Nona has Alzheimer's, and it sucks.

Fortunately though, my Nona does not have something like Reaganomics for Alzheimer's to wipe away.

RIP Ronnie, you evil bastard.

No, I don't look at it as 'getting his' either. That was my point if I didn't make it clear enough. By 'getting his' it would have been nice to see his lies publicly and popularly exposed and him dethroned and humiliated. I very rarely wish any bodily disease on anyone, and if I was to do that, it wouldn't be Alzheimer's.

Now, in a harsher and less P.C. way of thinking about stuff, I'd like to say that Alzheimer's may partially have been a blessing for Ronnie. If his conscience was working properly, the Alzheimer's may have allowed him to forget some of the more heinous acts of his political career.

Remember when he forgot where Libya was on the map? Ahh... good times.

my friends and I are holding a party. not to commemorate his death, but his life.
