1. When Reagan died, I said, "Let the Neocons have their mourning period."
Now they've had it, so LET 'ER RIP!!!

9. The day he was born
Nothing and nobody is sacred in my book. I even have a Ronald Reagan doormat courtesy of Mother Jones Magazine.

10. It's always been OK.
This is America, Goddammit. I'm sick of hearing republicans praising Reagan for winning the Cold War thus spreading freedom around the world, and then they won't let anyone in this country exercise that freedom. I'm pissed, I tell's ya, pissed!:grr:

14. The Repuke definition
of freedom, is the ability to fuck the poor and the working class to their hearts content. Period. End of story. Fuck them and the Ray Gun they rode in on.

20. Well, they do believe in freedom of speech...
...as long as your speech agrees with theirs.

16. Don't agree with the majority.
If, and I say, IF, GWB, tries to make himself appear to be as genial and efficient as RR, then go for it. Otherwise, let the old guy go to rest and let his family be comforted by the respect for the presidency.

It is more than the neo cons ever gave to a dead democrat. Show them up for what they are.

22. "genial" and "efficient???"
In what alternate universe did that occur? Do you know how many deaths he was responsible for?

Smile, and smile, and be a cold-blooded killer.

Try reading some books about Reagan, like Sleepwalking Through History, by Haynes Johnson. You are seriously misinformed.

19. That depends on what you mean by "negative."
Do you mean saying inflammatory things like "That sonuvabitch I always hoped would die a long, painful death"? Or do you mean criticizing his administration in some sort of civil manner?

24. Once he is planted
then I say "let it rip" and there should be no objections because he has been given more time than he deserved for everyone to drool over him. :puke:
