reagan was SURE he'd live to see Armageddon, Falwell was his fave

Reagan was a firm adherent to Biblical prophecy; specifically, he believed that the end of the world -- the Battle of Armageddon -- was close at hand.

PHOTO: Reagan with Jerry Falwell. Falwell called Reagan his "favorite Christian".

While he was running for office in 1980, candidate Reagan announced during an interview with televangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker that "We may be the generation that sees Armageddon." But that certainly wasn't the first time. At a 1971 banquet for California state senator James Mills, then-Governor Reagan broke it all down for the honoree during the dessert course:


"In the 38th chapter of Ezekiel, it says that the land of Israel will come under attack by the armies of the ungodly nations, and it says that Libya will be among them. Do you understand the significance of that? Libya has now gone Communist, and that's a sign that the day of Armageddon isn't far off.

1. Too bad Ronnie didn't live a few more days
or months, cause I'm sure W will do his best to fulfill Ronnie's dream before the election.


LOL, on the Libya quote. Now that Libya is on our side, Armageddon must be right around the corner.

2. reagan was just another redneck puppet
clueless, ruthless, mean-spirited, and stupid

the man cranked up the war on drugs while his bimbo wife said 'just say no'

I'll just be glad when the news goes back to being about current events instead of this 3 day-running reagan boot-licking fest.

Reagan was an evil bastard and I'm personally glad he's not using up oxygen anymore.

5. Yes He Did
He divorced his first wife and then married Nancy. According to the Bible if you divorce your wife and then marry another wife while the first wife is still living, you're an adulterer.

Assistance from someone better versed in the Bible would be welcomed.
