Viva err....REAGAN!

[sus]

Let's list all the wonderful things he's done.

Let's start with Central America.


After we're through listing them, we can begin the glorious work of renaming our "Days of the Week" underpants after him!

I'm naming Monday "Gipper" for reasons I won't go into here because my mother taught me not to talk about shit in polite company.

1. GENERAL EFRAIN RIOS MONT

from Encyclopedias R US:

President of Guatemala

"A Christian has to walk around with his Bible and his machine gun," said born-again General Efrain Rios Mont, military ruler of Guatemala from March 1982 to August 1983. Rios Mont was one in a long series of dictators who ran Guatemala after the Dulles brothers and United Fruit, backed by the CIA, decided that elected President Jacob Arbenz held the country "in the grip of a Russian-controlled dictatorship" and overthrew the country's constitutional democracy in 1954. The succession of corrupt military dictators ruled Guatemala for over 30 years, one anti-communist tyrant after another receiving U.S. support, aid, and training.
After the 1982 coup that brought Rios Mont to power, U.S. Ambassador Frederic C. Chapin said Guatemala "has come out of the darkness and into the light." President Reagan claimed Mont was given "a bum rap" by human rights groups, and that he was cleaning up problems inherited from his predecessor, General Romeo Lucas Garcia. Ironically, Garcia had given $500,000 to Reagan's 1980 campaign, and his henchman, Mario Sandoval Alarcon, the "Godfather" of Central American death squads, was a guest at Reagan's first inaugural celebration. Sandoval proudly calls his National Liberation Movement "the party of organized violence."
Mont simply moved Garcia's dirty war from urban centers to the countryside "where the spirit of the Lord" guided him against "communist subversives", mostly indigenous Indians. As many as 10,000 Indians were killed and over 100,000 fled to Mexico as a result of Mont's "Christian" campaign.

2. I'd like to send a sympathy card signed...

...by the millions of people who died because of Reagan's homophobic policies towards the growing AIDS epidemic. What was it, sometime during his 2nd term he finally said the word in public??
