I cannot fathom how Reagan was anywhere near, in any shape or form, how he was a "great" leader.

Shall one of us create a separate thread to discuss the legacy of Reagan to keep this as a birthday thread??

I believe we already had this discussion -- would you care to have it again?

[The Mad Monk]

Oh -- and Happy Birthady, Ron.

Ex-presidents still are referred to as "Mr. President" in the U.S.

While part of me would like to believe Mr. Reagan's current state is part of some sort of divine justice, of course I know better. Still, I'd be happy to keep him around for years longer if we could send Pat Robertson and his ilk off in Ronnie's place.

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.

Yeah, under that reasoning communists would be praising Ronald Reagan, not condemning him. Their loud and raucous condemnation indicates where they come out on the issue of cause-and-effect with respect to the fall of communism in East.

And heree's Ned! Good, I could use a laugh.

So u guys are saying that Limbaugh, Coulter, et al are communists? Interesting.

btw, I hate Reagan b/c he scared the crap out of us when we were younger. By 'we' I mean my entire school. We thought we'd get nuked b/c of this senile nutjob who was inhabiting the white house.

Yes, and you're (collective you) using a few random nuts to say the entire left is that way. Good job

No need to spare my feelings by using the "collective you" phrase. I know what I said and I said it. But here, let me quote Chegitz:

Communist countries kill their own, while imperialist countries tend to kill others.

Got a problem with these generalizations, go complain to him.

You know Theben, it quite pathetic when you leftist actually believe your own propaganda.

And, oh btw Theben, the thinking of the left on National Security issues has a name:

APPEASEMENT!

Wasn't alive then. I understand that we came a hell of a lot closer to nuke annilation in '62 than in the mid 80's, but it wasn't personally felt.

[Ned]

Theban, you obviously were a victim of the left's scare mongering about Reagan.

Standing up to bullies is the surest way to get them to go away. Surely you know that.

[dannubis]

it was good to be living during the time of mr Reagan
if you were rich
if you were american
if you had the 'right' religion
if you had the 'right' skin color

And what has changed under the rule of Dubby?
