R.I.P. To our greatest President
- Thread starter THA RIPPA
- Start date
Well said. I tell people they are morons for not hearing issues before they make a decision. Everybody should be liberal and conservative, depending on the issue. I mean, I am a registered Republican, but that doesn't mean I would never vote for a Democrat, it's who you believe will do the job best. Only reason I won't vote for Kerry, is he's too much of a hypocrite. The dude is trying to play all sides when that is not possible, what would he do as a president??
I agree, Im a devoted LIBERAL and i do mourn the lost of RONALD REAGAN.
He is not the greatest i think that was ROOSEVELT he was re-elected 4 times, not many can say that if your talking about winning that many states. (4X'S)
We all should have respect and mourn this president
PEACE TO EVERYONE
(BUT REMEMBER VOTE DEMOCRATIC THIS YEAR)

Rest in Piss to the Killer, Coward, Con-Man: Good Riddance Gipper

You're not going to like this. You shouldn't speak ill of the dead.
But in this case, someone's got to.
Ronald Reagan was a conman. Reagan was a coward. Reagan was a killer.
In 1987, I found myself stuck in a crappy little town in Nicaragua
named Chaguitillo. The people were kind enough, though hungry, except
for one surly young man. His wife had just died of tuberculosis.
People don't die of TB if they get some antibiotics. But Ronald
Reagan, big hearted guy that he was, had put a lock-down embargo on
medicine to Nicaragua because he didn't like the government that the
people there had elected.
Ronnie grinned and cracked jokes while the young woman's lungs filled
up and she stopped breathing. Reagan flashed that B-movie grin while
they buried the mother of three.
And when Hezbollah terrorists struck and murdered hundreds of American
marines in their sleep in Lebanon, the TV warrior ran away like a
whipped dog . then turned around and invaded Grenada. That little Club
Med war was a murderous PR stunt so Ronnie could hold parades for
gunning down Cubans building an airport.
I remember Nancy, a skull and crossbones prancing around in designer
dresses, some of the "gifts" that flowed to the Reagans -- from hats
to million-dollar homes -- from cronies well compensated with
government loot. It used to be called bribery.
And all the while, Grandpa grinned, the grandfather who bleated on
about "family values" but didn't bother to see his own grandchildren.
The New York Times today, in its canned obit, wrote that Reagan
projected, "faith in small town America" and "old-time values."
"Values" my ass. It was union busting and a declaration of war on the
poor and anyone who couldn't buy designer dresses. It was the New
Meanness, bringing starvation back to America so that every
millionaire could get another million.
"Small town" values? From the movie star of the Pacific Palisades, the
Malibu mogul? I want to throw up.
And all the while, in the White House basement, as his brain boiled
away, his last conscious act was to condone a coup d'etat against our
elected Congress. Reagan's Defense Secretary Casper the Ghost
Weinberger with the crazed Colonel, Ollie North, plotted to give guns
to the Monster of the Mideast, Ayatolla Khomeini.
Reagan's boys called Jimmy Carter a weanie and a wuss although Carter
wouldn't give an inch to the Ayatolla. Reagan, with that film-fantasy
tough-guy con in front of cameras, went begging like a coward
cockroach to Khomeini pleading on bended knee for the release of our
hostages.
Ollie North flew into Iran with a birthday cake for the maniac mullah
-- no kidding --in the shape of a key. The key to Ronnie's heart.
Then the Reagan roaches mixed their cowardice with crime: taking cash
from the hostage-takers to buy guns for the "contras" - the
drug-runners of Nicaragua posing as freedom fighters.
I remember as a student in Berkeley the words screeching out of the
bullhorn, "The Governor of the State of California, Ronald Reagan,
hereby orders this demonstration to disperse" . and then came the
teargas and the truncheons. And all the while, that fang-hiding grin
from the Gipper.
In Chaguitillo, all night long, the farmers stayed awake to guard
their kids from attack from Reagan's Contra terrorists. The farmers
weren't even Sandinistas, those 'Commies' that our cracked-brained
President told us were 'only a 48-hour drive from Texas.' What the
hell would they want with Texas, anyway?
Nevertheless, the farmers, and their families, were Ronnie's targets.
In the deserted darkness of Chaguitillo, a TV blared. Weirdly, it was
that third-rate gangster movie, "Brother Rat." Starring Ronald Reagan.
Well, my friends, you can rest easier tonight: the Rat is dead.
Killer, coward, conman. Ronald Reagan, good-bye and good riddance.

Sydal - who cares how many times Kerry has flip-flopped? It's called being a politican.
Kind of like Bush with steel tariffs, Bush with Kyoto, Bush with domestic policy, etc.
How can you support the idiot who will cause World War 3? I don't care if Kerry is a fucking monkey with a curious george T shirt on, he would do a better job than Bush. I would do a better job than Bush. Any of us here, even young Hatch, would do a better job than Bush.
Support the idiot who will cause the increase of terror and a War that will end all Wars, and be very proud of yourself. As a matter of fact, Al Qaeda wants Bush to be elected. They know he will react with emotion and stupidity rather than shrewdness to a situation.
And disrespecting Reagan? How about the central American villages his allies burned to ashes in the name of stopping Communism? Did he respect those people?

wonderful.. those are facts and supporting evidence what u just posted though right? and you're not intrested in what other people have told you or what propaganda tube spits out, huh? even though those were accusations you made of me lol. thanks for showing us just how hyprocritical you really are. 20sixx yeah right, just call yourself contradiction man, suits you betta.
The article I posted was not specifically directed at you, C-Locc. I've posted numerous times facts and supporting evidence of what went on Nicaragua and the rest of Latin America. You said "Reagan defeated the Soviets", not me. It is up to you to either defend your statements with facts, supporting evidence etc. or to abandon your statements completely and drop it.
Those aren't facts and supporting evidence of what went on in Nicaragua or Latin America. Those are one man's opinion, and I squashed that thread too. Fucca article or word of mouth, I come off the top with my shit cuzz, never used one. Abandon my statements, nah I handled my business, it's a done deal.
Man was sure great at causing coups in central american which used tactics such as the slaughtering of families for intimidation purposes (aka terrorism), and taking out democratically elected presidents to place in US friendly dictators. HOO WEE, at the same time funded these escapades by trading weapons to our enemies aswell as filling our neighborhoods with cocain given as payment for weapons. Great indeed...
.....FOR 2-0-SIXX
This is completely untrue, that government was not elected by the people...it was imposed on the people...the elections were rigged by the sandinista leadership(had been in power since 1979)...the people did not trully elect a government until 1990 when the UNO(Union Nacional Opositora) beat the Sandinistas(FSLN).
Its true that there may have been some Contras who were drug-runners but the majority trully were freedom fighters of sorts...the Contras were mostly made up of Ex-Guardia's and of farmers...of my knowledge I have not heard stories of any actions such as the killing of kids or anything like that by the contras...im sure that some may have been caught in crossfire but not anything like the author is describing...
