101. We may have recovered from the damage he did by 2113

1. well played

[get the red out]

2. I have a reason

We should try to have at least a small bit of respect for the religion of others, no matter who is their God.

[DURHAM D]

7. What are you talking about as regards Reagan?

[Boombaby]

12. I'm wondering about that one myself

[hfojvt]

14. Reagan = God

In the eyes of some.

[Boombaby]

16. I'm really not sure

that's what gtro meant...

[get the red out]

22. Actually it is

It seems they deify Reagan like he's the second coming of Jesus Christ on the right. I almost expect if the extreme right should ever get complete control of this country, and somehow not destroy the world through war, that Reagan would, in time, become a religious figure in the extreme right Churches.

3. Not sure about #101

I'm not at all sure we will have recovered from the damage he did by 2113. It may be far longer. This is one opportunistic infection that has spread much too far without any attempt at containment.

Not til every stupid fucking airport, freeway, school, and campaign to add his stupid asshole face to some coin and/or Mt. Rushmore is renamed and cleansed of formal references to him;

Not til every law and rule change and regulation disembowlment he advocated or helped implement has been done away with;

Not until every damned judge he ever appointed anywhere, from antonin scalia and anthony kennedy on down, is removed and replaced.

And frankly, considering the damage he did, the suffering his policies created and promoted, the poverty and misery and injustice and neglect he fostered, I don't find much to celebrate in his birth, either.

17. Tollway to Nowhere

The only thing properly named for Ronald Regan is the "The Ronald Regan Memorial Tollway" or Interstate 88 from roughly Aurora, IL to Rockfalls, IL. The toll portion was built in the early '70's as an extension of the old East-West Tollway for the purpose of keeping the Tollway Authority alive (a Republican boondoggle). At the time it was dubbed "The Tollway to Nowhere" which it still is. The toll portion ends in the cornfields just east of Rock Falls, IL--a fine example of going nowhere. And that is just where St Ronnie led the country.

4. 102. Not many people live past one hundred.

[DavidDvorkin]

5. Two reasons: He's no longer president, and

the fucker's dead.

[BlueToTheBone]

6. #1...He's still

dead.

[LongTomH]

21. Are you sure? MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[libinnyandia]

8. Ron Reagan is his son. That's good.

[irisblue]

20. okay

that is true. he did that good thing

[EFerrari]

9. There are no birthdays in Hell.

[Neoma]

10. I can't decide who's worse.

Reagan or W. Bush.

Mainly because I never experienced being under the Reagan administration.

[DURHAM D]

13. I'll take this one.

Definitely Reagan.

[provis99]

19. Reagan was worse.

Without Reagan, there would have been no Bush.

[treestar]

11. Good one

[Dawson Leery]

15. Even if we do recover from the damage that piece of dog s**t did, the scars will always show.

18. I just posted on FB..in response to somebody gushing about St. Ronnnie...

Good old Reagan... I certainly agree with some of the things he said. "We’re going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that allow some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. In theory, some of those loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying ten percent of his salary, and that’s crazy. [...] Do you think the millionaire ought to pay more in taxes than the bus driver or less?"

He also raised taxes 12 times, raised the debt ceiling 18 times, and the tripled the national debt. Good old tax-and-borrow-and-spend Reagan.
