My comments on Michael Reagan.

[Pab Sungenis]

From my latest blog entry, follow the link to read more.

The irony here is that Michael, for those who don’t know, is not the natural born son of Ronald Reagan; he’s Ron-ma’s adopted son. This means that we can’t put the blame for any of this shit on Reagan’s genes. This is because he was raised this way. "And if that’s how they’re going to be raised…" (to believe that brown people are only worth death by rectal grenade at age one) then they’re better off dying in their infancy. Too bad we didn’t have that option with Michael Reagan.

You see, Michael Reagan was born before Roe v. Wade became law, and that meant that he couldn’t be aborted, and had to be put up for adoption. As a result, he wound up in the Reagan household, where he was obviously taught to hate all inferior races and undesirable types. He wound up being raised by the man who created the myth of the welfare queen and laughed as AIDS destroyed almost an entire generation of homosexuals. He was raised to hate people who were not like him, and think them worth nothing but painful death.

Now, if Michael Reagan had been aborted, his soul might have cycled through, and been born into a child who had more of a chance of being raised in a loving and caring family, where he could be taught the beauty in everyone, instead of just being a handy prop for your dad’s incipient political career (see also: John McCain’s adopted Bangladeshi daughter). As a result, he might have been spared the trauma that leads him to statements like this. After all, if that’s how he’s going to be raised, he’s better off being ripped out of his mother’s wound with a coat hanger. Bye bye, baby.

What? You think that statement’s too extreme? Too hateful? You’re right. It is. Think about it, Michael.

1. if that's how he was raised, then how do you explain Ron Reagan?

[Pab Sungenis]

2. Nancy.

Michael was raised by Jane Wyman and Ronnie. Nancy was the moderating influence in Ron and Patti's lives.

4. I believe Wyman and Ronnie were both DEMOCRATS during

that time... I also believe Wyman remained a democrat throughout her life...

New theory?

5. Bigotry knows no party.

Strom Thurmond was a Democrat. George Wallace was a Democrat. Robert Byrd is STILL a Democrat.

Democrat != Paragon of virtue.

Ronnie and Jane were bigots. Period. They raised Michael Reagan that way.

9. Where is your proof of Jane Wyman being a bigot

They divorced in 1948. He changed parties in 1962. Where is your proof that Wyman was some horrible witch who instilled this hatred in Michael Reagan? Pray tell... We are all fascinated with your totally unsubstantiated thesus. :eyes:

3. A couple of qualifications to your premise.

1. Michael Reagan was raised mostly in the Jane Wyman household more than the Nancy Reagan household due to the divorce. He rarely saw his father and he often felt illegitimate as compared to Nancy's kids.

2. Michael Reagan wrote an autobiography where he remembered being sexually abused repeatedly at summer camp and he never told Ron, Jane, or Nancy or anyone for that matter about it. He carried around the shame and stigma into his adult years.

I can't pin how Michael Reagan turned out so much as his longing for an absent father and competing against him at the same time (shades of GW Bush!) as I do on his terrible childhood.

6. I don't think it's how he was raised. I think it's based more on years of rejection.

From what I read, Raygun treated him as if didn't exist most of the time.

8. Exactly. He was raised by the hired help.

He was adopted by Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan because Jane was too busy with her career to have a second child. Michael Reagan has written about this extensively in his first autobiography, "On the Outside, Looking In." He reflects on how after the divorce he and his sister sat on the curb waiting for his father to pick him up to take them out for the day. He began having trouble as a teenager and decided he wanted to live with his father and Nancy, but was told there was no room for him. Eventually he did go to live with them and was assigned a small room. Later, a construction crew began building an addition to the house, which he happily assumed was for him. One day the maid excitedly said to him, "Have you seen my new room?" Michael was given the maid's old room.

Ronald Reagan never liked Michael and called him a "schmuck." Michael proudly boasted to his classmates that his dad gave him a nickname.

When the Reagans were in the White House Michael was dressed down by Reagan for using his name in correspondence to promote himself in his various dubious enterprises. At that time his occupation was speedboat racer. The Secret Service banned Michael from the White House for stealing knick-knacks. Ronald and Nancy never even met Michael's child until he/she was three or so, while Nancy's pet project was "Foster Grandparents."

Michael longed for a father his whole life. Once his adoptive father became incapacitated he began publicly relatingg apocryphal stories of his loving relationship with his father.

Michael's book, written while on the outs with his father, is a wealth of inside information on their relationship.

7. Just an unprincipled opportunist like Saint Ronnie.

Michael used Ronnie's last name to make a career bashing liberals.

He would switch to bashing pukes if it made more money.

Saint Ronnie switched parties when it was to his advantage.

I'm baffled that Ron turned out so decent. I guess it was Nancy.

10. Hateful???

So it's OK for you to be hateful towards him, but it's not OK for him to act hateful toward others? Is that what I'm hearing?

If you decry others being hateful, maybe you should refrain from being hateful yourself.
