NPR is interesting today....

This morning an interview describing Reagan as a racist....

Right now a guest explaining that he was bad communicator...

Later another program that will paint him as an eco-terrorist...

Nice....

Nice of them to be so respectful during the week of his funeral.

Made me sick to my stomach, and mad as hell, to hear them spewing that kind of crap on the airwaves this morning.

May his soul rest peacefully, he most certainly deserves it.

Bwhip, that is one cool avator, how'd you do that?

Anyone else see George W using all the similarities between himself and President Reagan during his speech about Reagan? Very blatant campaigning crap.

Can't speak for Pete, but I would guess he deserves it as much as any other human being. The fact that he spent his life in service of others would be another...

That's kind of what I meant. Does he deserve it more than anyone else? Not that he doesn't of course.

Well to understand what he said you would have to:
A. Have a bit of knowledge regarding US/world history
B. Understand what he has accomplished for the US and the World for that matter.
C. Not be trying to stir up **** every five minutes.

A. I do.
B. I do.
C. I'm not. I did actually start off the question by saying I wasn't trying to be a smartarse if you didn't see it!

Actually I don't think you're a smart ass at all. Just wondering why you would actually take the time to type such an asinine reply.

"Please don't take this question as me being a smartarse but why does he deserve it so much?"

Can I just reply for you...
Oh I was asking a valid question. I just wanted someone to explain to me why he deserves it so much. I know so much about US history but I felt compelled to ask anyway.

The funeral today was obligatory... the masses of regular citizens that waited for hours to catch a glimpse of him in state speaks volumes about what a national treasure this man was.

Maybe you cannot comprehend the English language. He wrote "May his soul rest peacefully, he most certainly deserves it.". It had nothing to do with his funeral.

I was just curious as to why he added the part about deserving it. All human beings deserve this in my opinion.

Answer the question.

To tell you the truth your posts about Michael Moore and Bush provoked me. I apologize for bringing that angst to this thread. After this comment i'll give it a rest.
If you are an example of the world's view as you state so often(quotes from Moore thread below) why did the UN unanimously approve an the U.S. occupation of Iraq ?
From now on just speak for yourself and let the rest of the world speak for themselves.


Your quotes:

I would believe Moore any day over that idiot Bush. Bush has done a lot of damage to the image of the USA around the world.

Yes, I was very serious. Bush has no credibility in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Yes it is my opinion as well as most of the rest worlds. I'm sure you don't care what the rest of the world thinks though right?

Geez, take it easy rocket. Basically, not a whole lot of us have the credentials and political historian knowledge to call President Reagan the greatest American leader of all time. We do tend to over react after someone's passing, but I didn't see his question as slanderous as you seemed to take it. Ronald Reagan was a good man. He deserves his respect, but let's not get carried away.

Re: The body isn't even cold yet, and the lefties are on the attack...

It's all about perspective. Very much tongue in cheek, but from another site I give you this (note that original posters were not being serious so put your weapons down now):

Saddam was a very nice man because:

Built nine bridges across the Tigris to facilitate easy movement for the peeps.

Had female pilots in the air-force... and female Doctors.

Had the second largest amount of doctors in the region.

(Muammar won that one)...

Had free University education for all.

Maintained historical sites including 'The Baghdad Museum'.

Wanted a non-religious state in Iraq...

Basra had over 60 alcohol-selling shops...

I got a lot of time for the guy, he certainly kept them mad bastard arabs in check. As soon as he was gone there they were again smacking theirselves in the head.

Bring the old man back I say.
