[mopaul]

don't even ask me to. throw me in the furnace with shadrack meshack and abendigo

[anarchy1999]

1. We are with you okay.

You are absolutely not alone, and what a bunch to join with. Into the furnace shall we go. Be not afraid. Fire is good and "blessed be the peacemakers". Jeez, I'm sounding crazy.........

[ikojo]

2. Amen again MoPaul!!!!

You have been a light in a sea of darkness this week.

[Shopaholic]

3. I hear you

and I'm feeling ya' on this one!

[JuniorPlankton]

4. I am with you

You are NOT alone

[jrthin]

5. Me too. nt

[DarkPhenyx]

6. You can however...

...hold your own counsel on the matter and be a better human being than they are.

[mopaul]

9. I ALREADY AM a better human being than they are........n/t

i have a mouth, and i will scream

[DarkPhenyx]

11. A debatable issue.

I personally don't see how one can be better than their opposition when they act like them. It doesn't pass the logic test is all.

[truthspeaker]

17. How is he acting like the opposition?

[DarkPhenyx]

20. Finding joy in...

...taking pleasure from, or gloating over the pain, suffering and death of another human being, no matter what one might think of them personally, is definately something I'd rather leave in the perview of the opposition.

[Mountainman]

26. Are you saying that not paying homage to Reagan is equal to

Running up the federal deficit and ruining the economy? Worse than refusing to fund AIDS research? Worse than increasing military spending way above what was needed? Worse than having the most criminal administration in history? Worse than trading guns for hostages? Worse than increasing the gap between the rich and poor. Worse than union busting? Need I go on?

Reagan sucked then and he sucks as a dead man!

You don't like it, too bad for you!

[DarkPhenyx]

27. Ahhh yes.

Let's just choose to completely fail to see the point I was trying to make. Nice hyperbole and extremist rhetoric though. You should do that for a living.

[Beetwasher]

7. I Hate To See You This Way Mo!!

You need a reminder of how great the Reagan-Christ was! Just remember he died for YOU! So be happy and go shopping and pay your respects!! Get down on your knees and thank heaven for the Reagan-Christ and by all means, buy a piece of him before they're all gone!!

8. the story of Nebuchadnezzar, Shadrack, Meshack, & Abendego

* 3 *Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold and commanded the people to fall down and worship the image when they heard the sound of music. If any didn't worship the image, he would be cast in to a fiery furnace. After the music sounded, certain Chaldeans told Nebuchadnezzar that Shadrack, Meshack, & Abednego did not regard him & had not worshipped the image. In a rage, he demanded they be brought before him. He asked who was the God that would deliver out of his hand. When the 3 still refused to worship the image, He ordered the furnace heated 7 times hotter and that they be cast into it. The fire was so hot that it slew those that threw Shadrack, Meshack, & Abednego into the furnace. The king was astonished at seeing 4 men walking with out bonds or harm inside the furnace - & the fourth was like to the Son of God. The king bade Shadrack, Meshack, & Abednego to come out. When they came out of the fire, they were not harmed by the fire and there was no smell of fire about them. Nebuchadnezzar commanded that anyone saying any evil about their God would be cut in pieces & that their home would become dung hill; because no other God can deliver after this sort.

10. I survived the 80's as well

Personal experience would be enough to make me intensely dislike Reagan without the hype surrounding his death. Everyone dies. Reagan certainly didn't pioneer that trend.

[11 Bravo]

12. As punishment for failing to worship at the altar of Reagan

You are hereby commanded to amend your user name. Henceforth you shall be known as ronaldreaganmopaul.
So ordered on this date, the two days before his worship's dirt nap; in the year of our Ronnie 0000. (Next year will be 0001 AR)

[Lestat]

13. See you in Hell, mopaul!

How dare you not worship the all-powerful, all-mighty, all-knowing St. Ronnie! You are hereby condemned to an eternity of eating tofu with libruls. :silly:

Edit: I'm only joking.

[mopaul]

14. mo paul, king of the damned

i laugh at your jokes lestat! reagan the vampire is now exposed to the light of truth, to crumble to ashes in ann rice's fantasy

15. Even in death

16. RayGoon will be smellin' pretty gamey before they plant him!

You could at least cry about the foul smell! Damn they must have packed the old dude in right guard or twenty mule team borax! 6 days on the road and he's a-gonna' make it home tonight! They could name some kinda fly spray after him I guess! Whew!

[checks-n-balances]

18. Hey mopaul, I like the way you used that Bible story...

Unlike many who hear it in Sunday School, you actually "get it" and, no doubt, interpret it the way it seemed to be intended by the writer. I've had the same thought - it IS obviously idol worship that's taking place this week and, ironically, by a lot of people who believe so strongly in using the 10 Commandments in public places. If they looked more closely at the first and second of those 10, they would have to plead guilty!

All this stuff since the Ronathon began has brought up a few things for me that I'd kind of forgotten about. It seems like so long ago now. But the main thing is that my grandmother died after lingering with Alzheimer's for years, and now my mother has it (my brother & I and my teenaged son wonder which of us will be next). So I can sympathize with RR's family having to watch a family member slowly go down the tubes from it. And even though it would've helped for Nancy to have spoken up earlier about stem cell research, still maybe she has the clout to stand with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Reeve and possibly make a difference. But it sounds like W & Laura are still opposed and there is just no excuse for that.

That said, my ambivalent feelings about RR stop there, however. Especially since all this rhapsodizing about him is way over the top and going even farther by the minute.

You just happened to be one of the first to speak out so intensely and you were ahead of the crowd on that one. Have you noticed, even though the subject in the media has been almost purely Reagan, that lots of columnists and others are trying to speak truthfully about the Reagan years and legacy? I hope that makes you feel more vindicated and less alone. You're definitely not alone here.

One more thing, off the subject - My computer stopped periodically while GWB was almost down the toilet, but he was visible only from the bottom of his eyes up. They looked like they had rolled back into his head... So, your unintended use of a little "accidental" humor really made my day - thanks. A great "toilet humor" reminder for us to flush him in November!

19. I REMEMBER my sunday school lessons.....bush doesn't

nor do most christians. i don't salute flags, i don't pledge aliegence to them, i won't kiss a ring, i won't worship an idol.

but i'm not a christian anymore, i just kept the good parts and rejected the bad parts, like with hinduism.

[eeyore]

21. Didn't you get the memo, mopaul? They changed the 10 commandments today!

You sir, mr. mopaul, are an unmitigated heathen! Bow down or be stricken down!

RECITE THE NEW AND IMPROVED 10 COMMANDMENTS AND YOU WILL BE SAVED!

1. I am the Lord thy God Raygun, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God Raygun in vain.

3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image of Raygun, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them. Serve only Raygun.

4. Remember the Raygun day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor thy Raygun: that thy days may be long.

6. Thou shalt not kill, but in the name of Raygun.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery, but in the name of Raygun

8. Thou shalt not steal, but in the name of Raygun.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour, but in the name of Raygun.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy Raygun's house, thou shalt not covet thy Raygun's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy Raygun's.

AYYYYYMENNN!

[mopaul]

22. i did like his ass, and i did covet it

i wish MY ass had such a great lucky life. i'd have done something better with it

[eeyore]

23. You're doing just fine, my son.

I spread your evil images far and wide through the wonders of e-mail. You get the honor of riling up the conservatives on my list. Keep up the good work!

eeyore

[Catherine Vincent]

24. Mopaul, you REALLY really despise Reagan don't you?
