To be honest, I don't know all there is to know about Ronald Reagan. I lived through all 8 years of his Presidency but one of my earliest memories was the falling of the Berlin Wall even that's a little fuzzy. As we all know President Reagan died at the age of 93 today and I'm sitting here trying to grasp that he's really gone. It's weird.

Just for kicks though I ventured over to some of cesspools of the internet to see what the degenerates were saying. And boy was that an eye-opener. For example, the Daily Kos:

He earned the enmity of many of us on the left through his dismantling of the New Deal and enabling of a culture of greed -- but we should not forget that he was once one of us, an FDR Democrat. His journey to the far right mirrored a similar, if less dramatic, shift that occured in the general American psyche. And while Reagan cannot be excused for his utter failure as president, we must never see him solely as a symbol of a shameful era -- because his rise was attributable in part to an inertia and lack of vision that gripped our predecessors on the left. It was in part our inability to satisfy the hunger of Americans for positive leadership that caused Reagan and other former liberals to embrace a radical ideology that was before only espoused by crackpots and the prophets of selfishness.

So while we rightly condemned Reagan for his extremism and hostility to the egalitarian ideals of his youth, perhaps we should take this occasion not only to remember Reagan's failings, but also to reflect upon the failings of the left that allowed the ascension of the extreme right. We've learned a lot about how to talk with the American people over the past few years, and we've reclaimed the fighting spirit that has characterized the best of the left through American history -- let's never again allow ourselves to become so self-satisfied that we allow another Reagan to capture the hearts of everyday Americans.

See in 1984, the American people liked what they saw in Reagan and 49 states voted him into a second term. But to a degenerate scumbag like Kos that doesn't matter. The American people were hoodwinked into voting for him and since they got what they wanted that's a bad thing. Freedom to choose is a bad thing as long as the only they to choose from is what they're selling. There's word for that, I'm pretty sure you can figure out what it is.

And while many folks at the DU are expressing condolences, there are quite a few who are simply rejoycing. Venture over there only if you have the stomach.


The same levels of vitriolic hatred that are being expressed for President Reagan today are nearly identical to the levels of hatred being expressed for George Bush. See, Joseph Goebbels once said something to the effect of, if you repeat a lie long enough and often enough it becomes the truth and that's exactly what I see being done today by the rat bastards on the left. Reagan defeated the Soviets but so what, he didn't do enough to for AIDS victims, an easily preventable disease, therefore he was a miserable failure and so was his entire 8 years. Confronting evil and defeating the single most important threat to human existance means nothing, but curing AIDS, ahh now that's something, that's what defines a Presidency. Disgusting, the more I read what the other side has to say the more I believe it truly is a mental disease, and this isn't rhetorical bullshit either. Anyways, my condolences to the Reagan family and may God find a special place in heaven for the Gipper, he will be truly missed by those who understand.

Update: Well it didn't take long for the more main-stream degenerate Reagan haters to crawl out from underneath their rocks. Greg Palast goes nuts.
