Is the Super Bowl a proper venue to honor what would have been Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday? |
|
How do you feel about it?

since the wars, they have become such a nationalistic extravaganza, it's hard to do.

13. They crammed Nancy's deathgasm down our throats for a week |
|
What was it, two or three memorial services, culminating in the sunset service on the west coast so Nancy could dramatically throw herself over Ronnie's coffin? We will be spared nothing, even a centennial for Bonzo's co-star, and endless poutrage over when Reagan's Alzheimer's began to manifest. All the good little acolytes of St. Ronnie will get a chance to defend their hero while we, our children, and their children get to continue paying off the debt he and his financial wizards ran up.

20. He's not 100 years old...HE'S DEAD! |
|
reagan: one of the worst presidents in u.s. history! big 'gubment,' massive spending, cockamamie ideas such as 'star wars' weapons systems (what a waste of the nation's treasure that would've been!), the list goes on and on. Both bushs plus clinton, THE WORST! no one (especially a disingenuous repuke) can ever claim to be fiscally conservative! unless they're pissing away the nation's treasure to start ILLEGAL WARS! I wish the rest of the media would stop allowing g.o.p. gasbags to parrot they are more conservative than the average american. It simply cannot pass the smell test...not now, not ever!

21. Depends. What did they do for LBJ's 100th? |
|
Oh yeah, that's right! Hey, LBJ only got the ball rolling on civil rights and Medicare, that's all. Reagan was a spokesmodel built into a deity.

22. Wasn't it enough to turn the world series into a display of fascist militarism? |
|
I'm getting really sick of this. It's obviously a coordinated effort across multiple sports and I'd like to know who is pushing these decisions.

the Superbowl.
I'd have to say I'm indifferent.
