NEWS! RR was a self-avowed enemy of Liberals
He used to laugh at the downfall and death of Liberals and Liberal kinfolk.

Post after post has moaned that "We" are acting just like Freepers. Bullshit!

It would take a hundred years of days like today before we ever got close to them.

1. I suspect that a lot of the DUer's that are outraged...
..by the anger that some of us feel for Ronnie didn't have to personally endure his disastrous policies for 8 years (and beyond).

2. Maybe that's it?

They just don't understand the passion that has been repressed for all these years?

Actually there wasn't much written that wasn't true or at the least, factual. I'm still at a loss as to why some feel we are just as bad as freepers. That's pretty damned harsh.

3. I also wonder
If many of the those who are upset are just so young that they really don't remember how much better a country this was before Reagan so have no real grasp of the enormity of his crimes.

4. Make no mistake, Reagans Death will be politicized by the Right.
This will turn into a political funeral of the first order, and the Right will used the feeling that we should "be fair" and 'respect the dead" against Democrats and LIberals.

Thats why I dont have any use for the "' "We' are acting like Freepers" stuff. The right is going to play this like a fiddle. They have no use for deceny or respect or anything like that and will use this to their political advantage....

...to rewrite history about Reagans evil policies, and to trash anyone who disagrees as not having "respect for the dead".
