Freepers going nuts over Raygun

[DaveSZ]

One guy thinks he's the servant of God. I can't even begin to comprehend someone who thinks that way.

3. hehe

I'd like to see Bush try it.

Once the nation stopped laughing, Nancy would give him such a public smackdown it'd be on Pay-per-View.

[ronnykmarshall]

30. Nancy, Ron Jr and Patti won't have it.

Michael is a rw, however.

But Nancy will not put up with it.


The Bushie's are going have to walk on egg shells if they try to exploit RR's death should he die before the election.

[VolcanoJen]

5. Please, please, please, if there is a God, I pray to Her that they use it!

"Win One For The Gipper."

That would be fuckin' priceless, and brings up a whole new myriad of costume ideas for the next big protest!

[FlemingsGhost]

18. Two words: Paul Wellstone

Hypocrisy, thy name is the Republican Party

[w13rd0]

22. And if such a move...

...were not met with AT LEAST as much ridicule and skepticism that they did with 5 minutes out of the Wellstone memorial, than...well, I'd be REALLY REALLY mad...

[mot78]

25. PULEEZE ask * to use that if Reagan dies

It will piss off so many conservatives that the "red states" will turn Navy Blue.

[JI7]

2. i actually feel sorry for some of them

I am praying that our Lord take President Reagan home as peacefully as possible, his work on earth is done.

I am very thankful that should this transpire soon, that GWB is president instead of the previous occupant of the office.

Regardless of our efforts to keep politics out of it, such an event will garner a lot of attention and sympathy for our side, and it will play a role in the election. We should not play this for politics, but we should recognize the impact that it will have.

Bold added by me. GAG!!! :puke:

God damn, I hate those fucking freepers. :grr:

[DaveSZ]

6. I still can't get over the fact people think he's God's servant on Earth

He hurt so many people.

I guess you could see him in the sense that we are all servants of God, and that would make sense.

[Angelus]

7. Check out what this douchebag had the nerve to call us:

To: kcvl
Those people are insane. Can you believe some of them are actually SCHOOL TEACHERS?!

Most (DUers) are 13 year olds, welfare cheats or SS mental disability recipients. They are the largest collection of societal parasites I have ever encountered.

9. I didn't think he was a vet was he?

To: Mr. Buzzcut
It is kind of fitting that he would die on what will more than likely be the last real remembrance of D-Day.

10. yes

but he spent the war making propaganda movies. He was in the Army reserve, but never actually fought.

[VolcanoJen]

11. Oh, puke. Tying Reagan to D-Day is like tying WWII to Chimpy's Iraq.

Have they no shame?

[drfemoe]

16. isn't that interesting ?

D-Day OD
Why World War II nostalgia has gone too far

Posted Friday, June 4, 2004, at 9:32 AM PT - This year's onslaught of D-Day hype—a continuous barrage of World War II nostalgia stretching from Memorial Day weekend through George Bush's trip to Europe these next few days—has already exhausted all but the most diehard buffs.
...
An answer to these questions begins with the realization that the D-Day enthusiasm, like all rituals of memory, says more about the present than it does about the past. For one thing, unilateralism is ascendant today, and the popular D-Day storyline glorifies the U.S. role above all: tens of thousands of average American boys dramatically storming the beaches of Normandy to open a second front against the German army, their success speeding Hitler's demise.
...
Under Ronald Reagan, however, the mood changed. It was Reagan who kicked off the D-Day mania when, in 1984, equipped with a backdrop chosen by Michael Deaver and a speech penned by Peggy Noonan, he lauded a band of aging U.S. Army Rangers in front of the very 130-foot rock face they had scaled with fire department grappling hooks and ladders 40 years before. Reagan spoke for a constituency that wanted to reclaim America's pride in its military strength. His farewell address in 1988 called for the revival of a feel-good history that would teach schoolchildren "who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those thirty seconds over Tokyo meant." If this rhetoric sounded fuzzy and nostalgic, it shouldn't have been surprising, since Reagan's vision of war came from Hollywood, where he had discharged his own service obligations as part of the First Motion Picture Unit of the Army Air Corps. (At times Reagan even confused the real war with memories of films he acted in or watched, as when he "remembered" having liberated the Nazi camps.)

... more ... "fuzzy hollywood" Reaganism ...

20. If this prayer is answered quickly....

...that will pretty much trump Nancy's request to fund stem cell research in this country and Bush will be off the hook until after the November election,eh.

[Langis]

8. What is wrong with them?

"I can see the liberal media now. Tears of joy running down their faces as they raise a toast to celebrate."

:wow:

[leftofthedial]

19. Cheers!

:toast:

[w13rd0]

23. Well yes...

...because Reagan has been SUCH A PLAYER these past two decades in putting down us liberals...

</sarcasm>

Sorry, I take no joy in the suffering of the elderly and infirm, even those who I found reprehensible in their "public life". The freeptards just need another reason to hate. They list their fabricated bullshit reasons like a litany, and the more time it takes to list, the angrier and more irrational they become. And that twit that said we are all 13yr olds, blah blah...how the hell would she know? Is she psychic?

[Occulus]

12. WOW. We predicted this behavior, right?

I mean, like wow.

[freetobegay]

13. Just look at some of the posts here!

21. You mean "DUers going nuts about.......

.....Freepers going nuts about Reagan".

Me, I'm old enough to realise that life is a terminal disease......and that getting oneself excited about someone's demise ignores some important facts.

[ronnykmarshall]

31. Amen.

Look in the mirror, Taffy it's not a pretty sight.

[Rationality]

14. ...

... did you expect anything different? We're talking about the Free Republic here.

[MrSlayer]

17. Kerry and Clinton bashing has to be included in the RR death thread.

It would have been a real injustice for X42 or for Kerry, should he win in November, to preside over Reagan's funeral. Reagan deserves to go to Heaven's bright shore and leave behind his broken body and he deserves to not die under the presidency of a traitor. I pray for a quick end to his pain.

I think it is worth pointing out that while Ronald Reagan was leading the free world to victory in the cold war, the naysayers were saying the same stuff they are saying today. Even back then it was "loss of international diplomatic friends," france hates us, the world hates us and so on.

Kerry was in office during the Ronald Reagan years, I bet he said some choice insults to Ronald Reagan. He probably praised the USSR. He probably voted FOR the sandanistas and against the Afgan Rebels.

DUers are claiming that Bush is going to kill him just at the right time for a polls bump...
Save the threads and send them to James Taranto at the WSJ. He can publish them on Monday and show the DUers up for the haters they are.

The day when the Lord calls Ronald Reagan home, That will be a very sad day for me. Ronald Reagan is my hero, After seeing our Country go through the Bay of Pigs, Kennedy's assassination, The Vietnam War, LBJ's incompetence, the Race riots after MLK's Assassination, Watergate, Nixon's resignation, and the utter failure of the Carter Administration........ (I could go on)
Ronald Reagan made me proud to be an American again, he restored my hope and optimism, and I will never forget what he did for me.

GOD BLESS RONALD WILSON REAGAN!,

I love him like a father

What a sad day this is for all true Americans. Reagan might have been the greatest President in history. His decisive action brought about many great things from the rescue of the Iranian Hostages to the falling of the Berlin Wall. His policies brought about the end of the Cold War and shattered the evil Communist empire. This was a true man of God who brought the honor and dignity back to America that was lost in the horrible Carter years. Also you might recall that he was the first President to take on terrorists and rendered Lybia impotent. This great work was carried on by Bush I and is now being carried out again after an 8 year absence by our current President George W. Bush. Thank God we have a man who can hold up to the great standard that Reagan set in the 80's unlike the previous hedonistic administration. Though he has yet to pass I want to express my condolences to the great man and his family. We owe so much to him, let's never forget. My flag is at half mast.

27. "he deserves to not die under the presidency of a traitor."

Maybe so, Freeps. But it looks like he will die under the Residency of one of the biggest fucking traitors in history.

[porkrind]

24. Oops, they mispelled "Dark" as "Dear"

Dark Lord, bless your servant Ronald Reagan.

28. Holy shit! This is appalling......

It's also really bad artistry. Lots of obvious design flaws

[Soup Bean]

29. That's not such an unusal statement Down South.

I hear it all the time. It's a sign of respect and sympathy. I really believe that Reagan couldn't fully comprehend everything that was done in his name.

I choose not to judge him for perceived sins. I disagreed with his policies and positions (mostly) but I respect him for having the courage to try to change the world.

Alzheimer's is, to me, the most horrible way to die. I wonder where his consciousness has been for the past 10 years? I feel for his family, for Nancy (who TRULY loves this man) and for his children.

Except maybe Michael Reagan....he's cashing in on his father's conservative coattails, and while I don't wish his father's death, I don't like him at all.

[Padraig18]

32. "...your servant Ronald Reagan...."

That quite common in prayers; we are ALL 'servants of God', in Christian eyes.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

33. Of course they are- Bush is such a pissant by comparison.

it's all just very pathetic.
