NOVEMBER 9, 1989
Do you remember November 9,1989? Do you remember thousands of West Berliners waiting on their side of the wall with bottles of champagne while East Germans were breaking through?
Just wondering ... but did any Democratic president ever ask the Soviet Union to tear down the wall in Berlin. The truth is that Ronald Reagan was the president who won the Cold War. Within just a few days the Democrats and their media myrmidons are going to be working full-bore to deny him that legacy.
The Cold War, you see, was really World War III. The left isn't comfortable with all of this praise for the Republican who won World War III while they're trying to defeat the president who is presently fighting World War IV.
You need to get on the Internet to see what the loyal Democrats are saying on Democraticunderground.com. You'll find such postings as: "The hysteric media outburst has already begun, his crimes against humanity notwithstanding. The blunt idiocy of that national self-deprecating spectacle makes me sick to my stomach. Other than that, I'll proceed to celebrate the news in private. For now. " (Posted by NV1962)
And here's another post from Democraticunderground.com. This one from "mopaul."
"I don't care what killed him, Alzheimer's or the black plague, I'm glad he's dead and I don't care how many times I'm scolded or chastised for it. the day he took office was the most depressing day of my life, and i swore, that on the day he died, I'd drink a toast of celebration and figuratively piss on his grave and have said so to several Gingrich sucking Reagan worshipping dickheads. F--k Ronald Reagan, and i hope in some small way my fuck you counteracts all the bullshit we are going to be hammered with for a fucking month after the fall of this 'greeeeeaaaaaat human being'. F--k you Ronnie, here's to ya pal. see ya in hell"
Other posters on Democraticunderground.com followed with such comments as: "Yup, one less Nazi terrorist in the world with the death of Ronald Reagan"
Here's a direct link to some of those postings. It might be removed by the time you get there, but give it a shot. Today is a good day to take a close look into the black hearts of our compassionate liberal friends.
Also ... were you listening to Prairie Home Companion your local "public radio" station on Saturday? It's a live broadcast, you know. In the middle of that broadcast Garrison Keillor told the audience that Ronald Reagan had died. You could hear liberals in the audience cheering and clapping. Class act, those Democrats.
This morning I heard CNN Candy Crowley say that Reagan was the president who cut taxes but almost doubled the deficit. Not one mention of the tremendous economic growth that followed Reagan's tax cuts ... then as now with the Bush tax cuts. It would be more accurate to say that Reagan cut the taxes while congress doubled the deficit, but you're not going to hear that from the mainstream media.
Here's why. Democrats and the media are anxious to pin current budget deficits solely on George Bush. The reason for the deficits? No .. it's not because congress is spending at record levels. It's because George Bush cut taxes. To make this stick to George Bush you have to paint Reagan with the same brush.
Perhaps Reagan's greatest accomplishment was his ending of the Cold War. Now this is one accomplishment the left will never give Reagan credit for. The very moves he made to bring the Soviet Union to its knees were moves that were vehemently opposed by the left.
Stationing Pershing nuclear-tipped missiles in Western Europe would be a prime example. Reagan did this to answer threatening Soviet moves. The left said Reagan was going to hasten a nuclear war with the Soviets. The Soviets saw it differently. They saw it as resolve. It also became clear to them that this president would match them move for move. The Soviet Union soon spent itself into insolvency trying to keep up with Ronald Reagan.
Just last week Thomas Friedman at the New York Times wrote an article giving credit for setting in motion the chain of events that brought down the Soviet Union to George Bush (41), to Brent Scowcroft and James Baker, and to European leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Francois Mitterrand. There was no mention of Ronald Reagan. Was this carelessness? Forgetfulness? Or was it an intentional effort from this New York Times writer to deny Reagan his legacy?
No doubt ... Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of my lifetime.
I'm convinced that the passing of President Reagan is yet another God-given opportunity to see the evil that he fought valiently in crystal clarity.
Yes, it is outrageous that these people say and act this way. They are fools, and their way of thinking is going to pass away.
That Shining City will always stand as long as we believe in Reagan's dream, and make it so.
Oh please Mr DU toughguy speak these words to me - they will be the last at least several of your teeth will ever hear.
To spin a line from "It's a wonderfull life"
"everytime a democrat spews, a conservative is born"
Like I have said before, I don't want to silence these clowns. I want their hate-twisted faces in front of every television camera spewing venemous malevolence out of their vile pus-holes every single day so that America can see EXACTLY WHO is supporting the DemocRats.
The Democommunist Ubersocialists will stop at nothing. Too bad they couldn't put that excessive hating energy toward the real enemies of America. I think even I could come up with one good thing to say about Clinton when he passes......thinking......thinking....
Okay, maybe not.
Do I really need to point out that Reagan won't be there when you arrive?
To be entirely fair, the nutty fringe on DU probably isn't representative of the rank and file of the democratic party. I suspect most americans of the two main political stripes have great affection for President Reagan.
Mopaul is the DUmpster's resident ass-freak, complete with bareassed yellow smilies. He's bitter because all of his Haitian boytoys were killed by GRID, er, AIDS.
Reagan actually died in 2002. The Republican political machine hid the news, kept his body on ice and only now released this information in order to have maximum positive effect on the Bush campaign.*
I wish I could agre, but the 'rank and file' of the Democrat party left it long ago as the Kook Wing of that party consolidated their control and marched it way left of even Fidel Castro.
Was there similar rhetoric on FR when Wellstone died? I hoenstly can't recall.
I find it repulsive beyond description that anyone would "cheer" the death of a fellow American. Political beliefs are more important than the gift of life? That is quite simply the most morally repugnant thing I have contemplated in a while.
That can't be true - I think around 35-40% of the electorate are Democrats. While very often around 1/2 of the electorate can be fooled and make big mistakes, I doubt that 40% or so are as shrill about Reagan as the DUers are.
I was in my formidable years during the Reagan Era. The nutty fringe are those that now own the media networks. In the 80's, these same people were responsible for painting the picture that Reagan was nothing more than an ignorant figurehead for the GOP who was going to lead us into a Global Nuclear War.
You may be right. And if you are, we should see a similar election result this year as we saw in 1984.
The state is far too important to this fellow.
a friend of mine who considers herself a democrat, told my husband after she saw this on DU she will never vote democrat again.
