Not to mention he was in his 90's when he made these comments. Why would I pay attention to what he had to say now when I haven't agreed with him in years?
I appreciate what he did in taking over the Presidency but I don't think he did a very good job and why Carter beat him.
Just remember that we had Freepers on here when Ma Richards died doing the same thing. Made the far left liberal a conservative and a friend of the Bush Family -- neither of which were true. Someone dies and people rush to praise them. If I didn't like someone when they were alive, why would I praise them when they are dead?
I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but when people are telling abject lies about the dead and lionizing them and holding them up as heroes when their actual beliefs, policies and actions were profoundly wrong and dangerous, one has to speak up.
