8. No one cares about context

You could say "reagan successfully broke a strike" and people will fly off the fucking handle claiming you are praising Reagan. Fucking bullshit.

7. Just after he died. Ted was being gracious, and probably disingenuous

10. Probably when Reagan died

When Carter dies everyone will say good things about him too. Does that mean the rethugs love him?

2. And Obama just said kind things about Reagan as well

I don't understand. Does anyone else?

Everyone spouts lying platitudes about the dead.
