You see... the thing with the right is, they don't give a **** about human life. They don't care about freedom, or human rights, or stopping oppressive dictators. It's all about what's good for corporations. How fitting that their idol is an alzheimers patient who had a truly evil foreign policy. America's idolatry of Reagan almost makes me think we deserve to be attacked by terrorists. Is this what happened to Rome in the last days? Evil Roman emperors fiddling like idiots, living like Gods while the city burned? It's really a shame that America propagates freedom and all those warm fuzzy things... but in the end, we're lead by evil men. I'm so sick to my stomach. Every time I see Reagan's stupid face, I want to throw up.

America started out with such good intentions. Lip service was paid about freedom, and all men being created equal while America remained a slave-owning nation. And it took a war to stop that evil practice. I think one word can sum up America. Hypocrisy. It's all bull**** and I'm sick of it. It's sad to say that evil pieces of **** like Osama bin Laden have just cause to hate America. It was so sad on 9-11 to see all those innocent people dying... not because a bunch of psychoes "hated freedom"... it's because America has commited great evils upon the world and now evil was being commited upon us because of the actions of evil men like Ronald Reagan. **** you mr reagan. **** you mr bush. God, I hope there's a hell. Because if there is, men like reagan and bush will surely be burning in it.

That's reagan's legacy. And hopefully, Satan's sticking a hot poker in his ****ing ass right now.

I'm done with this thread.

you already admitted to trolling. I don't see why you should continue. you lose more credibility.

Reagan cheers innocent foreigners' deaths (through the praising of terrorists that killed them).

Cuba lambasts says former President Ronald Reagan should ``never have been born''
By Associated Press
Monday, June 7, 2004

HAVANA - Cuba harshly criticized former President Ronald Reagan and his policies on Monday, saying he should ``never have been born.''

In the first reaction to Reagan's death from the communist government, Radio Reloj said:

``As forgetful and irresponsible as he was, he forgot to take his worst works to the grave,'' the government radio station said.

``He, who never should have been born, has died,'' the radio said.

The statement did not mention Cuba's relationship with the United States under Reagan, a staunch foe of communism.

It also did not mention Reagan's decision to order U.S. forces to invade the tiny Caribbean country of Grenada on Oct. 25, 1983, because Washington feared the island had grown too close to Cuba.

Since the early 1960s, Cuba and the United States have been without diplomatic relations, and Cuba has been under a U.S. trade embargo. But relations between the two countries were especially tense when Reagan was in office from 1981-1989.

Radio Reloj lambasted Reagan's military policies, especially the ``Star Wars'' anti-missile program. The initiative, launched when the Soviet Union still existed, rejected a long-standing doctrine built on the idea that neither superpower would start a nuclear war out of fear of annihilation by the other.

The radio also criticized Reagan's policies in Central America, where Washington backed a counterrevolutionary rebel army that fought against the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The United States also supported a conservative government that battled Marxist guerrillas during El Salvador's civil war.

``His apologists characterize him as the victor of the Cold War,'' the radio said. ``Those in the know knew that the reality was not so, but rather (he was) the destroyer of policies of detente in the overall quest for peace.''

you are in such good company.

[johncmcleod]

Yeah, Reagan's actions helped contribute to our tarnished world opinion, and contributed to the reasons why the terrorists joined groups like Al-Qaeda.

But they shouldn't have done this. Reagan's actions were evil, but killing innocent people is needless. And it wouldn't stop American imperialism. Presidents will kill innocent people whether or not terrorist attacks against us are committed.

interesting.

Nancy Reagan supports stem cell research. Unfortunately damn G.W. Bush is against it.

Gorbachev Remembers Reagan

Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev commented Monday on the death of his “honest rival,” former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who died Saturday in his California home of Alzheimer’s disease.

“He has already entered history as a man who was instrumental in bringing about the end of the Cold War,” Gorbachev told journalists at his Moscow office of the Gorbachev Foundation.

“I take the death of Ronald Reagan very hard,” Gorbachev was quoted by Associated Press as saying. “He was a man whom fate set by me in perhaps the most difficult years at the end of the 20th century.”

“I deem Ronald Reagan a great president,” Gorbachev told Ekho Moskvy radio. “Reagan turned out to be a leader who, despite all our differences… was far-sighted and decisive enough to work together with us and change our relations for the better, stopping the nuclear race…” the ex-president told radio station.

Those were years, Gorbachev said, “when everyone felt that we lived under the threat of nuclear conflict, and it felt as if the arms race was spiraling out of control, that we couldn’t control the military machine properly.”

Ronald Reagan issued his historic “evil empire” remark in 1983, before Gorbachev took power from the obscurity of the backbenches of the ruling Soviet politburo where he held the agriculture portfolio. Now, over 20 years later, the former Soviet president calls his rival “sincere”.

Gorbachev also addressed Americans with an opinion column in The New York Times Monday, recalling his dialogues with the former president up to the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991.

WTF would Groby know about it? It's obvious that Reagan was a madman bent on the destruction of life on Earth!

Ted Pays His Respects to those who Represent

Guys I just came back from Moorpark College. It's the staging area for people wanting to visit the President before he goes to Washington.

UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE

THAT CROWD WAS SO BIG I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT

IT TOOK 7 HOURS JUST TO *GET* TO THE COLLEGE

IT TOOK 8 MORE HOURS WAITING IN LINE TO GET A BUS TO HIS LIBRARY

THE PEOPLE LOVE THE GIPPER

People were from all walks of life, people were dressed up, there were lots of soldiers there in full dress uniform with all of their medals on.

The gift area had wonderful cards and the two that struck me the most were one that was written by a Russian woman thanking him for ending the cold war and another from a woman from El Salvador thanking him for "saving her country."

Here's to you Mister President we love you!

USA!
