20. I'm not going to pay respect to the myth
nor am I going to gloat and cheer.

Reagan's warped thinking and illegal policy making killed many...in that he was no different than Shrub.

a disease of the brain in no way changes his guilt...death does not either. History demands we still hold him responsible for the pain, death, and suffering he caused. If you find that cruel, ask yourself how people in Central America are feeling today.

Reagan wasn't simply a "US President" who has now died, and of which respectful tribute is now demanded/expected..out of some sense of "decency"...he was a world leader that brought senseless death to others.

A part of history died today and I felt the passing of that history...but I'll not pretend the part Reagan played in history is remembered with smiles by all.

...the man was not the myth the rightwing celebrates...a myth they will now celebrate ad nauseum.



and for the record, I don't give a rat's ass what any rightwinger thinks or feels about what I type on this board...if I write something they find offensive..good!
