Ronald Reagan dead at 93

Didn't see a thread about this, so I figured I'd make one.

About freaking time...

His accomplishments include:

Eliminating higher income tax brackets but not evening out the lower ones so a filthy rich bastard inhaling loads of money pays the same rate as someone who's just substantially well off while low income workers still get nailed with a much higher rate just for working some overtime.

Sending soldiers to Grenada for some bullshit

Giving Chemical and Biological Weapons to Iraq

Allowing Bushes and company to commit scandals such as Iran-Contra (George Bush) and Saving & Loan (Neil Bush) and bailing them out. BTW, several Iran-Contra goons have been appointed back into government positions by George W Bush.

Having Bill Cosby audited by the IRS 4 times during his 8 year double term in an attempt to discredit an upstanding black American.

He was only technically alive as a president, he always seemed pretty vague. Atleast he built the star wars system that ensures everyones safety........

Damn.

My roommate and his friends are going to have a "Ronald Regan Is Dead" party tomorrow night. They're Socialist...

Well shit. I thought for some reason or other he'd keep on existing forever and ever...

Even by natural death, why is it the ones who it doesn't matter if they die (atlest now) are the ones dying and we don't have some assassin ninja squad on Bush's ass knocking him off? Jesus.

So they're going to have a socialist party? Excellent.[/Wayne's World]

Don't forget Ronald Reagan was also an actor in the fifties...

This is the sadest day in the last year, how could you guys make jokes. He was the best president in the last 30 years.

Were you even alive during his reign?

Don't be such a fucking suck-up example of a patriotic moron. I'll joke if I want to about his death. Polotics suck and the government sucks.

The 40th President of the USA is dead, long live the 40th President of the USA.

Umm, why would anyone be sad about this?

My sentiments exactly.

Even the family?

I'm sad simply 'cause I liked the way he conducted speeches. From a non-political view, I rather liked him. Hated his politics and him as a president, but liked him as a man. I liked his optimism.

Damn people, separate the politics from the man. If you still don't like him, then fine.

/me salutes Ronald Reagan

He's been pretty much dead for a decade, mentally. I certainly didn't like the guy but I think applauding the death of anyone doesn't make you people any better.

Yea, thats true. He was a great man, and as you already know from reading the forms, I think he is a great president too.

BTW I was alive when he was president, not that it matters because we live in world that he helped create.

Here are some more accomplishments.

And you forgot all his outstanding thespian performances!

Reagan kicks ass, because most members here hate him.

...And I feel there may be a few people contributing to this thread who didn't have any idea of the world outside of the playground-- much less the world of politics-- at the time of Reagan's term.

Doomworld - "Liberal Prime Rib"

REAGAN WAS A REPUBLICAN THEREFORE HE MUST HAVE BEEN EVIL INCARNATE!!!

I AM GLAD HE WAS DEAD THAT GOP SON OF A BITCH HE PROBABLY KICKED BABIES IN THE TEETH!!! IF IT WASNT FOR HIM 9/11 WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED!!!

I DONT REMEMBER ANYTHING BEFORE 1994 BUT THESE THINGS I KNOW!!!

I thought he already WAS dead.

oh well.

I thought that was Jimmy Carter?

Well, Reagan did bring the national debt from $930 billion to $2.6 trillion while claiming to be "for small government" in all aspects of the economy but military, which means he basically was just tossing money away on worthless projects like SDI. To his credit the Soviet Union collapsed because they couldn't keep up with his ridiculous spending, but I don't think that was by design.

This sums up my opinion quite nicely.
