Swallowing the Reagan Kool-Aide…
The Reagan worship amongst Republicans never ceases to both amaze and illuminate just how many glasses of Kool-Aide the GOP’s world view has them swallowing… I too, find myself missing ol’ Ronny Reagan, but for different reasons. For several years, him, and ketchup, were my two favorite Republican vegetables…
Who held higher rank in the “Reagan Revolution” way back when shouldn’t be a plus for a human, it should be a pecking order for the gallows, yet the right gets away with gushing over this guy like he was the second coming… (Sit down, Huckabee…)
“How cruel to belittle Ronnie, he had Alzheimers!”…
Cruel indeed, the irony of alzheimer’s, as HE blissfully sailed into la-la land totally unaware of his reprehensible actions while WE have had to remember them…
Just Star Wars alone qualifies him for eternal shithead status.
His entire ponzi pyramid excuse for an financial plan “trickle down… on you economics” was conceived on the back of a cocktail napkin. As someone who has hastily scribbled many ideas himself on such an impromptu notation system in some smokey bar, let me be the first to blow the whistle when it comes to viability for the results… Every time, upon sobering up, it’s some nonsensical tired premise not fit for the light of the frennels. Had I been Reagan, my economic policy would have been some snide quip regarding people who wear driving gloves; sadly even that nonsense would have been an improvement on Laffler’s drivel ..
Not enough? How about the guy had his dotting wife’s psychic running the country, while Nancy, the mother hen herself, undoubtably plied him with 20 of western medicines’ best exploratory anti-anzheimers pills daily (in between ‘just say no’ rallies), while his cronnies gutted national resources, busted unions and overthrew socialist South & Central American governments with LA crack profits. (Ironicly laundering it in failed S&L’s and junk bonds Whoops!!! -enter taxpayer for bailout)..
And this is someone to posture behind?
His ability to sling scat, bamboozle and dupe, to be emulated?
A batty shill for imperialism and corporate gluttony who lost his marbles while his surrogate mommy (and all her little angels) ran the good ship boondoggle?
Anyone who thinks Regan qualifies as a “good president” is so out of touch with any reality pertinant to rational thinking folk, any further derision by me would pale in comparison to the comic radiance of quantifying Reagan as a goodun’…
This sadly includes many dems as well…. amazing…
