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.
"The Left in America today is as dangerous an enemy to our way of life as the Islamofascists. They must be defeated at all costs, even if it requires an armed insurrection to do it."
Unfortunately, it may very well come down to that.
The chair is against the wall.
It seems that in the mind, the demented, twisted, illogical mind of the DU'ers, we at Free Republic are guilty of such transgressions. The following appear as a post there:
To all you lurking Republicans looking for insensitive remarks about dead politicians, why not look in your own fucking back yard. Here's some Free Republic posts in response to Paul Wellstone's death:
Free Republic (GOP Central), November 11, 2002
"It's not breaking news, it's smashing news. Besides, this is yesterday's news."
"It would appear that "breaking" applies both to the story, and to Mr. Wellstone."
"To all the jokers who participated in this thread: I've never laughed so hard after a tough day a work. This thread was absolutely a hoot. Thanks for the medicine."

There you go. Any time a media official uses DU as an example of "extremism," just direct them towards Freak Republic. We look tame compared to those whack jobs!
*********************
Now , if you link to the article, you will find the article is not the announcement of his death, but on the release of the autopsy report. The comments above are tasteless jokes regarding the cause of death (crushed on impact) and are not direct attacks on Wellstone himself.
This is the best example they have? If we look at what we see at DU regarding Reagan, it is clear to all that their level of hate and anger has reached the lowest of lows.
It will. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
Here's a picture of me in Falluja, fighting liberals.
LOL...I was thinking the same thing.
Oops, I hit enter too soon. What's bad is that this guy is planning on going there. How sad is that???
mopaul...Satan is the only one you'll see in hell.
"It will. Plan for the worst, hope for the best."
I have, and I am.
What is interesting his who is asking the question. The article is from the World Socialists website.
Isn't there a saying about a man being known by the company he keeps and the friends he makes?
You are kidding me? This is shocking. I'm stunned.
(I don't know why I would be shocked with the lack of class liberals exhibit at all times, but nonetheless, this is stunning).
Yep, and styling themselves as such gives them a feeling of moral superiority, which they declaim as often as JF*K reminds us that he served in Vietnam.
re: your friend who is now a former democrat.
That's great, even though late in coming. Give her a pat on the back, or a hug, and welcome her home!
Ted Rall's statement is out. It's nasty and I won't post it.
So point it out to me.
There was a link on DU. I suppose you could find him on Google.
I don;t think so. A 55-40-5 spread seems impossible, given the composition of the 10-12 states that Kerry will likely win big or solidly.
I do think Bush wins a comfy victory with comfy coattails. Nothing outrageous though.
Considering the specturm to be 1984 or 2000 isn't helpful. It will be more like 1984, I agree, but you wound;t otherwise compare 2004 to 1984. The numbers just aren't there.
In case you haven't heard .. lots of parents are telling Rush that their children are asking "who is this guy and why is the country making such a fuss about him?". But .. the parents said their children know all about the Vietnam war.
Amazing .. look what the dems have done to dumb down our children.
Unfortunately, it's coming.
