Happy Birthday Mr. President

[mrmitchell]

Since I might be the only voice of reason on the liberal side here:

Reagan was a poor President. The USSR was going to go away anyway, and if he did anything at all, he just took advantage of the situation by making it look like he did it. He also gave the government a huge deficit, and was President during a decade that should make the world ashamed of itself.

But no, I'd never wish death on the guy.

The 80s were a great decade . Morning in America again!

[GhengisFarb™]

I love the 80's.


Strike Back.

(Man that show is a waste of time, but once you start watching its pretty much impossible to stop.)

God, you bitter commies are pathetic. Your idiotic ideology was going to fall one way or the other, so I don't see why you have to hate on Reagan just because he was the man that brought the evil of Communism to its knees.

It is actually not the reason I hate Reagan. And on the three prime evils (Friedman, Thatcher, Reagan), he's the one I hate the least.

I hate Reagan because he was one of the top-dogs in the "conservative revolution" that utterly wrecked everything that made postwar western societies great. He was one of the three gods of egoism and rejection of society. He was one of the three gods of this incredible leap backwards for the human society. And he was one of the three craftsmen of an unspeakable misery for millions of westerners who could at last believe misery belonged to the past.

I couldn't care less about his role in the Cold War. The USSR fell mostly because of internal problems, and Ronnie had barely more impact on the USSR's collapse than the pope.

I fail to see why I should show compassion for one of the people I deem to be an enemy of mankind. Should I show compassion to every scum that has made millions suffer? Should I show compassion for the Pinochets, the Charles Taylors (Liberia), the Mobutus, the Mugabes, the Mao Zedongs, the Stalins, the Pol Pots etc? I don't think so.

You wouldn't be offensed if I showed my hatred for the above mentioned scum. Why should I make a difference for the scum that is Reagan?

I guess Conservatives are more secure in the validity of their positions on issues.

/me looks at the posts made by conservatives in this thread.

This guy is awesome. I would never imagined someone who would improve by getting Alzheimer's disease.

Way to go

That's an excellent point no one makes grandiose statements about these other guys so why make a statement saying reagan was so great. Also, how has life changed in the U.S. that can be directly or indirectly related to the fall of communism in the USSR. Has the Optempo of U.S. forces went down. No, it's went up. Has military spending went down. No it's went up. How exactly was Reagan responsible for the fall of communism in the USSR. What program? Was he some type of Steven Seagal, Rocky/Rambo 007. Why not give him just as much credit as George Orwell or Robert Heinlein or Ted Turner or me. I supported the cold war effort also. VJ makes excellent points also.

I am always amused that more people on the compasionate liberal side find it so easy to wish those that they don't like dead, then those heartless bastards on the more conservative side do for those that they don't agree with. Just which ones are more compasionate.

We only wish them dead, Reagan, Nixon, et al. actually do kill.

Ronnie Raygun!

One of my favourite presidents.

Depsite being an arch-religionist, I couldn't help but like his grandfatherly stumblings and hilarious bloopers.

Like the uncle that turns up drunk to your new years party!

But it's a crying shame about his current condition.
A great man reduced to invalidity by time and a terrible disease.

He made his mark!
One of the last great presidents.

PS

Russian communism died of natural causes. (thankfully)

The Allies/USA just watched from behind the Berlin wall.
