Fuck Reagan

[gopiscrap]

and the rest of his enabling family, supporters and keepers!

[katmondoo]

1. I agree totally

[Turbineguy]

2. When I was in High School in 1968

our economics Teacher (who was in the Normandy Landings) had nothing good to say about him.

[progressoid]

3. Well, I don't know what this is in reference to but,

I can never disagree with "Fuck Reagan".

[Fritz Walter]

37. Does it matter?

I hope he burns in hell right along with to Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot.

Soon to be joined by Poppy and all his evil spawn.

[kairos12]

4. Most damaging President ever. He birthed Shrub.

[gopiscrap]

36. Totally agree

[Demonaut]

5. Ron is great

Ron Jr

[SusanCalvin]

8. Yes, Ron is a doll.

So his parents must have had some redeeming personal qualities.

But they still played a huge part in wrecking the country.

[liberalnarb]

30. Not his father. He got his qualities from his mother(s good side)

[SusanCalvin]

50. Well, she must have had one, to her children at least, but

I can't stand to look at that picture. She helped Ron Sr. attempt to destroy the country.

The children I don't blame.

[hunter]

6. How dare you speak that way about our fearless leader who single-handedly defeated...

... both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union!

He made America strong!

















Heh, Reagan was a venal tool who'd say anything or do anything, no matter how vile, for a blowjob and a pile of money. I saw him at a public appearence during his second term and he was a confused old man who didn't know where the hell he was or what he was doing there. But he managed to get a few good sound bytes off, and that's what they showed on the evening news.

I realize now that's always been how the U.S.A. works.

[Skittles]

7. sound bites

that's all people who lack critical thinking skills need

[hunter]

25. I rather like bytes, now that I see it.

Bytes is a word I use more often than "bites" and represents a small amount of information, misinformation, or noise.

Political sound bites, unlike most foods, are seldom nutritious in any way. But then there's also the aggressive connotation of "biting" an opponent with a few words.

The Opus interactive audio codec does a pretty good rendition of human voices at 8 kilobytes per second. The typical data rate for an ordinary MP3 is 128 kilobytes per second.

But I do hate Reagan. Our friends and our hemophilia patients were dying of AIDS and those assholes were still telling gay jokes.

[Thespian2]

9. Short and to the point...

Ray-Gun = top candidate for worst president ever...

[airplaneman]

13. Reagan stood out as the worst for many years - I knew it when he was in office.

Until George W came along and broke the record. JMHO
-Airplane

[Thespian2]

15. Yep

George W certainly broke the record...and managed to be in Washington the fewest days of any president...

[StevieM]

20. A reasonable argument can be made that Reagan was even worse than Bush. (eom)

[gopiscrap]

38. I agree, I think Reagan was the worst

[liberalnarb]

32. Candidate?

No, I think he won that election.

[wallyworld2]

10. He was the first Republican President I voted for

And the last

I have been told by friends I will burn in hell for it

If I do I hope it's the Fundamentalist Christian hell

I understand there are some very very cool people there

Ken Kesey, Jerry Garcia, JD Salinger, Da Vinci, Galileo, Van Gogh, David Bowie

A place where using your mind and having fun, being different and questioning authority are the right kind of sin

Anyway for my first post here

Fuck Reagan would be a good place to start.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Welcome to DU!

[wallyworld2]

22. Thank you

[DoBotherMe]

16. Welcome to DU

[wallyworld2]

29. Thank you too

I have to wait a while between replies because I am a newbie

[gopiscrap]

39. what twon in WA are you from

I live in Tacoma

[wallyworld2]

53. South West Washington

Vancouver USofA

[Thespian2]

18. Welcome!

Good response...

[StevieM]

19. Welcome to DU!! (eom)

[Separation]

27. Nah

If there was a type of hell to go to, it would be to the South Park hell. 👹

[SusanCalvin]

46. We all make a few mistakes.

Who could have foreseen the scope of the damage?

Welcome to DU!

[PatrynXX]

11. well not all of them.

the one that was adopted but is still Republican doesn't like Trump being compared to Reagan. well yeah Trumps a bit better than Reagan however if I had to think on it. today 1. Reagan probably wouldn't get anywhere 2. he'd be called a Progressive (I still believe there is a difference. Progressive is for those who aren't that left wing and hate the name Liberal and then there's some of us who love the name and tend to be Left wing in most things. I can't be all. )

3. Reagan had an obsession with calling people Socialist. So he might be ape about being near a false Socialist like Bernie. Donald no problem. Plump really doesn't owe anyone anything because they railed on him. should be interesting. Bush's Male side of the family much worse. although at least Sr is a bit more Progressive over the years.

[WillowTree]

12. Fuck Ron Reagan and Patti Davis? Really?

[SusanCalvin]

47. Nobody said that. ETA - or at least I wouldn't call them "enabling." nt

[madokie]

17. I've not liked the sob

since his 20 mule team days. Always came across as a phony to me. My dad loved him btw.

[scoobiedavis]

21. Reagan Promoted Racism

and he filled his administration with the worst kind of racists: http://reaganandracism.blogspot.com/

[silvershadow]

23. Careful...you might alienate the Reagan Democrats! nt

[erpowers]

24. Do Not Joke About Alzheimer's Disease

If you are talking about the fact that Patti Davis and Michael Reagan came out against Will Ferrell's comedy that was going to focus on Ronald Reagan's Alzheimer's Disease I disagree with you. It was wrong for Will Ferrell and anyone in Hollywood who was associated with that movie to consider putting out that movie.

It would have been wrong to make a movie that could be seen as making fun of Alzheimer's Disease. That is a horrible disease with which many families, Democrats and Republicans, are struggling. Reagan's family is right, there is nothing funny about Alzheimer's Disease.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I was wondering if that is what this is about too...

There are many, MANY things to make fun of Reagan about... creating a film poking fun of his Alheimer's diagnosis is too much. May they continue to have issues finding financing. I thought both Ron Jr. and Patti's responses were dead on perfect.

[SCVDem]

28. That is not trickle down economics

They really ARE pissing on us and have been ever since Ronnie started fucking us over.

Mourning in America.

[TeamPooka]

31. Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and Herbert Hoover were the worst presidents of the 20th Century

Period.
I'm willing to discuss their order of finish though....

[BeyondGeography]

33. The 80s were so dreary

A 50s throwback attempt with a whole lot of OTT Christianity and modern financial piracy added in. A lot of us just shaking our heads in disbelief. One lesson for me at least: this country's a better place when there's a Democrat in the White House.

[Enthusiast]

34. Yes. Fuck Reagan and a bunch of other bad actors from both parties.

Stop abusing the American people!

[LeftishBrit]

35. And fuck Thatcher!

[SusanCalvin]

48. Ditto! nt

[Paladin]

40. Trump is in the process of fucking Reagan's legacy, big-time.

I'm wondering when the right-wingers are going to wake up and realize it. Hopefully long after it's a done thing.

[gopiscrap]

41. yup

[Fumesucker]

42. Hey, the Reagans low key advocacy started the conversation about AIDS in America

According to a Democratic Presidential candidate, anyway.

[SusanCalvin]

49. Oh my that was disgusting. nt

[struggle4progress]

43. If he's still dead, there's really not much point in thinking about him

[Solly Mack]

44. Well, yeah.

That's a given.

[HughBeaumont]

45. "I'm Mr. High Treason!

I'm Mr. Anti-Sun!
I'm Mr. Capitalism!
I'm Mr. '81!

They call me Teflon Ronnie
Whatever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
I'm Too MUCH!

He's Mr. Poor Fister
He's Mr. Burn in Hell
He's Mr. Fundamentalpatient
He's Mr. S&L

They call me Teflon Ronnie
Whatever I touch
Creates wealth in my clutch
I'm too MUCH!

[Drahthaardogs]

51. Hear! hear!

Indeed.

[TeddyR]

52. Terrible president

But a juvenile post. Hoping to read something a bit more progressive/adult on DU

[GOPblows431]

54. Ronald was definitely a scumbag

Ron Reagan isn't too bad, though, at least compared to his father.

[Buzz cook]

55. It is demeaning to fuck when you associate the word fuck with Reagan.nt
