One of the great myths perpetrated by liberals is that even though they may have disagreed with Ronald Reagan, they still respect him. HOGWASH!!! Back when Reagan was President in the 80's, the liberals hated him and they STILL DO as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "DC People: How annoying is the phrase 'Reagan Airport?'" It gives me GREAT PLEASURE that when DUmmies fly to D.C., they have to land at RONALD REAGAN Airport. So the next time you make the flight to D.C., if you see some red-faced idiot screeching like a maniac, you can be sure it is a DUmmie going berserk at the Reagan name. As usual, the Reagan hating DUmmie rantings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, hearing the Gipper saying "There You Go Again," is in the [brackets]:
DC People: How annoying is the phrase "Reagan Airport"??
[RONALD REAGAN!!! SLOOOOOWLY I TURNED! STEP BY STEP...]
It's been almost eight years since they changed the name, and I'm still no less pissed about it. Remember when the Repukes claimed that they weren't going to take George Washington's name off? Well, it's still called Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, but of course people now just call it "Reagan" or "Reagan Airport" or "Reagan National."
I'm guessing that 99.9% of DUers refuse to call it by that name, but what do you do when people refer to it as that to you? Ignore it? Say something smide? Just curious.
[I'm guessing that 100% of the DUmmies need to bite down hard on a leather strap when seeing or hearing the name, "Ronald Reagan National Airport."]
I just flow out of National a week ago. I refuse to use the raygun name unless I absolutely have to. Love the airport, hate the name.
[In the DUmmie Alternate Reality it is called "Jimmy Carter National Airport."]
I refer to it as "WASHINGTON NATIONAL F***KING AIRPORT"... That usually clears most debate on the subject.
[After a normal person decks you.]
What pisses me off about the name is the repugs are guilty of re-writing history. Sound familiar? Of course it does, it is what repugs do all the time but pretend it is a tactic of the Dems. I get really steamed about Washington National because I am one of the millions of people who remember Raygun's administration - corrupt, sleazy, profane and sold out to the highest corporate bidder.
[Corrupt, sleazy, profane and sold out to the highest corporate bidder? Perfect description of Mark Rich's benefactor.]
My daughter flew there yesterday from Houston's George Bush Intercontinental airport. How sad.
[How glad.]
When people say "Reagan Airport" I correct them. and say, "You mean National?"
[No. I mean RONALD REAGAN Airport, DUmmie.]
Kinda like the RONALD REAGAN TURNPIKE here in FLORIDA! Yeah, makes a whole lot of goddamn sence to rename it from the "MAJORITY STONEMAN DOUGLAS TURNPIKE" (for those who don't know, she wrote "RIVER OF GRASS" and helped SAVE THE EVERGLADES, which is amazing since no one gives a SHIT about the environment in this hellhole state) to renaming it after RayGun, who had NOTHING to do with this state...unless you want to count how he helped RUIN it for 8 years along with the rest of the country.
[One of the GREAT pleasures of driving on the Turnpike down here is seeing the name RONALD REAGAN TURNPIKE on the signs and knowing how much it pisses off the liberals.]
How do I feel about it? Makes me gag, that's how I feel about it...
[So was that your car that I saw driving wildly off the side of the RONALD REAGAN TURNPIKE last weekend?]
Worse than that...they re-named one of the tollways After Reagan out here in Chicagoland. I-88 E-W Tollway is now Reagan 'Expressway'. Ugh!!!!
[WOO! HOO! I did not know that.]
Heh, heh. If they are so upset about it, they can assuage their grief at Bill Clintons Memorial Library, Adult Store and Strip Club..
It also usually results in the ticket agent alerting security.
DUmmy jerk.
The DUmmies also clearly remember the "Reagan Disaster" where President Reagan destroyed the world. They still trot it out to this day on the news talk shows every few months. I must have missed it.
Believe me, they are. You wouldn't believe the maneuvering that was done here in Atlanta to attempt to replace the name of the former mayor Hartsfield on Hartsfield Airport with Maynard Jackson's name, after Jackson died in the last couple of years or so - this, even though Hartsfield was largely instrumental in getting the airport built in the first place. They finally settled on a compromise: Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Under 30?
...and boy were her arms tired! [/rimshot]
This gives me an idea... at Thanksgiving dinner I'll get my liberal BIL talking about the trip to DC he just took, which will give me an opening to start dropping "Reagan Airport" every three sentences.
If he starts screeching, "You mean National?" I'll know he's a DUmmie.
Would that be the contest between the two last-place teams? ;-)
I know what you mean. It may say "Qwest Field" on the side of the building, but it'll always be "Seahawk Stadium" to me.
The DUmmies are still upset at the nation's outpouring of affection and admiration upon Reagan's death...they had hoped that they had quashed the 'sentimentality and selective memories' that we dirtbag GOPers had for the man.
They were absolutely AGHAST at the way the nation stopped and demanded coverage of every single hour's tribute to the man.
WAIT UNTIL THEY SEE THE COMPARISON when Jimmah kicks the bucket.
Put Reagan on the twenty dollar bill. Piss off DUmmies every time they go to the ATM.
Heck, I still use Twenty Mule Team Borax just because of RR.
Way ahead of ya, FRiend. Did this one in early June of 2004:
Two funnies in one day! Yippeee!!!!!
Actually, I fly out of REAGAN on Wednesday (yes, I am nuts). I use REAGAN all the time!
YEP!!! Me too!
I watched a couple of episodes early on. Will I be wasting two hours if I watch these episodes tonight? I'm dying to know what THIRTEENTH means!
You poor thing!! Bet ya had to wash the car after that!! LOL
I love the Redskins too, always have, always will, so does my son. But hey, they might even make the playoffs this year!
It's still RFK to us!
