I suppose your jealous because he's a million times more popular than you? tsk tsk tsk...

**Beowulf** · 06-07-2004, 02:31 PM

JEEZ, just wait.
I am NOT "jealous" of this asshole.
I will tell ya why later, if that is okay with ya closed-minded ppl????????
It IS an emotional issue because I saw it

**Banjo** · 06-07-2004, 02:36 PM

If you want to criticize Reagan, make your own thread. This is a thread where you pay your respects to the former President.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it here, say it in your new thread.

**Beowulf** · 06-07-2004, 02:41 PM

You are absolutey right.
Sorry sir.
I lose it sometimes.
I am not gonna start no damn new thread.
I goofed and am embarrassed.
This is a GREAT site and I care for it somewhere in my heart.
I **** up a lot.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. If you want to start a new thread, nobody here will object. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people died in Guatemala and El Salvador for the sake of Ronnie’s Cold War paranoid delusions. He’s a murderer, not a martyr. But Banjo is right—this is simply an obituary thread. But that doesn’t mean that you or I shouldn’t discuss whatever we want in another thread.

aw yeah you DO lose it...but sometimes? I'm not so sure about that... if you can't start another thread because you forget how, then it's okay because if you do, then you are one nutcase who doesn't even know what he's messing with.

why later? because you can't think of a very good reason why he is a "piece of crap", while most ppl don't literally think he is...but more of a respected and most popular president of our nation.

Mod Note:

I've split this thread. Let's keep it cool because we're not here to mock Reagan since he recently died. If it was Bush, that would be a different story...

Anyway, if you want to talk about Reagan in a good way... do it in the other thread. If you want to criticize him, do it here. Again, keep it cool... don't get out of hand. Thanks.

06-07-2004, 03:25 PM

Thats what i just said...the man is not even buried yet and yet somebody was ragging on him ...geeez! have some respect for the deceased ok? Nobody is PERFECT! heh!

You are so funny about Bush when you stated that it would be a different story. Ha!

Anyways... yeah, have some respect for Reagan since he is deceased last Saturday. I am pretty much aware of Reagan's history in his life, so it's not necessary for me to criticize him. Mr. Clinton is the worse one than any President I've ever known.

sablescort · 06-07-2004, 08:51 PM

Simply said....

Reagan's policies like deficit financing, tax cuts, the Star Wars stuff, really ****ed up the United States' Government and Economy. The Neo-Conservative movement started the ball rolling. Dimson is basically carrying only a half-gallon bucket of Reagan's water (policies) to the present day...

The Iran-Contra mess makes Clinton's Monica affair look like child's play...However Reagan wasn't that bad compared to that IDIOT presently sitting in the White House. (After all Ray-gun was legitimately elected unlike Dimson)

The good news is that the kids out of Reagan's OWN loins, both Ron Jr and Patti are both LIBERALS unlike their father. Even Nancy has come around and opposed Bush on stem cell research for Alzheimer's.....

WhoCare · 06-07-2004, 09:30 PM

He was good man because he made an end of Cold War and cut 50 percent of US Warhead missiles with a Russian man with a big fake birth mark on his head. (I can't remember his name for prez of former Russian) But other issues, I don't have no idea.

The Iran-Contra mess

What exactly was Iran Contra? I've heard all about it but have no idea what it's actually about.
Need we mention supply-side economics? ( tax cuts for rich folks stimulate the ecnomy)

Quote:

He was good man because he made an end of Cold War and cut 50 percent of US Warhead missiles

He also popularlyzed that Star Wars thing!!!! I don't think he ended the Cold War singlehandedly. The reason why the Cold War ended wasn't b/c of Ronny boy's dipolmacy, but b/c Russia stopped being Communiest!

The Iran-Contra mess...

go over there... http://www.dreamscape.com/morgana/reagan.htm

Let's just say "a bit of sleepin' with the enemy".....That's one huge fine mess!

Also contributing to the downfall of the Commies in Russia, not just Reagan contributed to it.....the Soviet economy contributed to the Commie's downfall....

**Angel** · 06-07-2004, 11:57 PM

Whoa, Take an easy here...

I'm sure that Beowulf didn't mean any harm, just to saying it at the wrong time ( which we're suppose to pay our respects )....there's just no reason to jump all over that ' one ' person because he/she sees a different opinion about Reagan just like some of us have an different opinion about Bush!....

Angel..that person was bashing the deceased when he is not even buried yet.
Some people dont have any sense of decency when it comes to deceased, for heavens sake..thats why we are reacting to this person's comment, is all.

Reagan the new face of the $10 bill?
Published report says conservatives will push for image of 40th president to grace $10 bill or dime.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Ronald Reagan's face could one day adorn the $10 bill or half the dimes minted in the country, if fans of the late president get their way.

USA Today reported Tuesday that Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., plans to sponsor legislation to have Reagan replace Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first treasury secretary, on the $10 bill.

Meanwhile, an effort is underway in the House, led by Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-Calif.), to put Reagan's face on the $20.

Conservatives have been pushing similar things for awhile.. while he was still alive.
One thing that pissed quite a number of people off was the renaming of Washington National Airport to Reagan National.
Umm... this was after Reagan called the national guard out on a pilots strike, and pissed the entire airline industry off.

How do you know about that? Are you assuming or did you read about it? Maybe they did it to honor him for some reasons.

I have nothing against Reagan at all. I just thought he was a good President and all. He's also an Illinoisian as well. That goes for all other living presidents as well expect for Clinton and both Bush.

Those are just my thoughts so don't diss me or anyone else's thoughts they have right to speak out as much as those who dislike those dudes. Be mature.

Well, i dont think it was Reagan's idea to change the airport name..and besides you cant please everybody so if some group of people gonna get pissed off so be it, there are people who is agreeable to this thing...so in nutshell, there are always be something to piss people off! ya know?

Youens · 06-09-2004, 04:15 AM

Have a respect for the deceased? Reagan sure wasn't someone I would respect and yet, people were so awe of him. Frankly, I am disappointed. After all, he was the one who caused a huge economic mess. And we are not out of it yet.

I understand Defee nor that I agree with that person but the point IS that person made a simple mistake by speaking it at the wrong time....I see myself doing that quite a few times but hey I'm not perfect , I believe a few of us have made some share of mistakes here..

**Beowulf** · 06-09-2004, 12:03 PM

I apologize to Defee. And to others.
Yup, looks like I shot myself in the foot again.
Kerry put his campaign on hold for five days out of respect to Reagan, and I wish I did not speak so soon.
That is why I said I will post bad stuff about Reagan LATER, but I already made a silly ass of myself.
My apologies to you all, since I know this is an emotional time, and emotional times are the worst in which to argue.

Executive Order Providing for the Closing of Government Departments and Agencies on June 11, 2004

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. All executive departments, independent establishments, and other governmental agencies shall be closed on June 11, 2004, as a mark of respect for Ronald Reagan, the fortieth President of the United States. That day shall be considered as falling within the scope of Executive Order 11582 of February 11, 1971, and of 5 U.S.C. 5546 and 6103(b) and other similar statutes insofar as they relate to the pay and leave of employees of the United States.

Sec. 2. The first sentence of section 1 of this order shall not apply to those offices and installations, or parts thereof, in the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, or other departments, independent establishments, and governmental agencies that the heads thereof determine should remain open for reasons of national security or defense or other essential public business.

All addressees shall determine which elements under their cognizance shall remain open to support and conduct military activities related to the global war on terrorism; to maintain the health, safety, and protection of DoD personnel and facilities; and to ensure the continuance of their respective organization's mission essential functions. You should ensure that sufficient staff is on hand to support them in carrying out your essential responsibilities.

This Department and the nation owe a great debt of gratitude to President Regan. Please join me, with the rest of the nation, in solemn remembrance of him as the 40th President of the United States and our former Commander-in-Chief.

GEORGE W. BUSH

THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 6, 2004.
