re: Greg Palast. To be demented and evil at the same time must be a terrible way to exist.

I suppose you have proof for all this? And an explanation
of why we suddenly no longer need the "comfort" of religion and became "smart" enough to understand how things worked?

"Perhaps because he saw himself as a patriot, a Forrest Gump before his time, he allied himself with the McCarthy faction and joined those Hollywood bigots who lined themselves up against anything that smacked of communism and the perils of the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War in the early 1950s"

This guy is actually crying that we're biased against communists!

I hope you are asking that of the moron who wrote the trash and not me. There is a link to it.

"In the coming months, the Republican propaganda machine will shift into high gear. Their goal: to turn Ronald Reagan into a saint. Just watch. First will come the coffin in the Capitol rotunda. Then there will be a proposal to put Reagan’s face on the dollar coin. Next will come a demand that his statue appear on the Washington Mall. And at the Republican Convention in September – oh, just wait. The highlight of that week will be a long, elegiac video of Saint Ronald, with moving music, snippets of favorite speeches, and the voiceover of, say, Charlton Heston. When the video ends, there will be heard the rapturous cheers of the faithful."

He's just jealous that Republicans actually had someone worthy of such high regard.
Who do *they* have?

[kcvl]

Yes, amazing isn't it? Do we still question who the Democrats are and who they support? It's not this country, that's for sure. They hate it! I don't understand why they don't just leave if it's SO BAD.

Oh *looks sheepish* Misunderstood :P thanks!

Here a Gem from Proud gay State Rep. Jim Moeller.

State Rep. Jim Moeller, D-Vancouver, gave Reagan credit for his allegiance to the conservative creed of smaller government.

"He was a better Republican president than the one we have now. He was true to the conservative creed of smaller government," Moeller said on his way home from the convention. "Ronald Reagan was exactly what you saw."

Moeller was less impressed with Reagan's legacy.

"We're still seeing the effects of his refusal to deal with the AIDS epidemic," he said.

His economic policy has also led to repercussions, Moeller said.

"Reagan started the greatest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich and the wealthy that has continued today," Moeller said. "A concentration of wealth and capital that is unprecedented since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution."

Way to go Moeller, Had to get that last jab at a man who is no longer here to defend himself.

"As president, Ronald Reagan was a mediocrity. He has left no legacy. He did not change the world in any significantly good way. His greatest achievement was to win a war with Grenada. He ran for president blaming Jimmy Carter for high gas prices and for letting Americans be taken hostage in Iran – both situations that no American president could have prevented.”

Another hateful dumbocRAT response to Reagan's death ping.

I guess the collapse of the Soviet Union cannot be called a great achievement for President Reagan.

He ran for president blaming Jimmy Carter for high gas prices

And yet, these are the same people blaming the Predisent for the gas prices. Nice formula: WRONG x 2 = RIGHT...

"As president, Ronald Reagan was a mediocrity. He has left no legacy. He did not change the world in any significantly good way.

And I bet this guy bemoans the collapse of the Soviet Union as a bad thing - and all those claims that Papa Joe Stalin murdered millions is just a right-wing lie.

You didn't speak ill of the dead - you just showed why you're a hack writer for a hack paper.

The First Amendment makes it easy for our friends and enemies to make themselves known.

I love it.

""Then George W. Bush will try to ride Ronald Reagan’s coffin back into the White House. "

First of all, I want to say how low rent that remark is, even for a democRAT.

john kerry - flaming liberal in every nuance of the word - is now estolling the virtues of President Reagan to school children, and IS TAKING THE WHOLE WEEK OFF CAMPAIGNING in "honor" of Reagan.

In other words, "eff'n" sees a golden opportunity to align himself further to the center - FEPO (for election purposes only) by playing off the death of the former President.

Meanwhile, Bush has been off in other countries visiting the Pope, and celebrating the anniversary of D-Day.

Bush doesn't have to "ride" anything, as his character and morals are very much like Reagan's already.

I regard liberals the way I used to look at communists...they are now one and the same...and are pulling our country down to its lowest common denominator. Liberals are enemies to America, and have no shame or guilt for their unpatriotic and treasonous actions.

In Sockdologer's defense, I could see where someone could get the impression from your post that you are ED WEATHERS.

It was only after following the "View Replies" trail that I was convinced otherwise.

[Sockdologer]

Thanks for the defense :)

Consider the sources. And consider that Ronald Reagan will be remembered long after all of them,...

Exactly...I've never heard of most of these Clymers.
