| For you politicos |
| 06.09.04 (8:23 pm) [edit] |
|
Some of you politicos are really pissing me off tonight. Attacking a man that served our country, made tremendous sacrifice, and lived his last years in a terrible decline to Alzheimers. Whether you agree with his Administration, it's policies or results, the man is dead. If you don't have respect for the man, fine, that's your perspective, but you should still hold respect for the Office. I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. Should that be Clinton lying in State, I would keep my mouth shut instead of insulting him like several of you are doing to Reagan. Out of respect to the title of Presidency, what it represents, and his family, I would duct tape my mouth shut if necessary. Let the man rest in peace. You've had 20+ years to rip him apart. Let it end now. |

I always liked Reagan, I think I'm gonna do a blog on him. For what he was worth, he was a man of conviction and a man of his word.

I agree with you. Put him in the ground first, then rip him apart.
But, you have to admit that the speeches today were overtly political.

I don't see how the speeches today couldn't be political. He was the president afterall. I respected the man. That should be all that's required. Unfortunatly the media has to skew it to their liking.

What satisfaction can one get from ripping apart a 93 year old man? Even if you didn't share his political views ... he was the President, a husband and a father! I agree Diva .. a little respect goes a long way.

Some just can not let sleeping dogs lie....that is a saying I have always wondered about. People can be so mean and unfeeling. I agree with you....

I also agree Diva. Those who tear this great man down just have an agenda. I even heard that one of the big fishwraps mentioned in his obituary that "the fall of communism happened on his watch" instead of giving him due credit. DFB and others similar in species would tell you it was just luck...that communism was dying anyhow, he didnt do anything about it.

Maybe I missed it - but I heard about his commitment to his wife, his family, his country.
I heard about his childhood, his parents, his charisma.
I heard about his respect for the office, his devotion to his convictions, and making America stronger.
I heard about his influence in the fall of the Soviet Union (albeit called "the evil empire'), the Berlin Wall, and the release of the hostages.
Call me silly, but the man was one of the most charismatic and respected presidents in recent history - wouldn't it have been odd if they hadn't mentioned some of the achievements most people recognized?

While perusing blogs yesterday, I accidently stumbled on a psycho-liberal blog and stupidly left a comment. His response informed me that Reagan was not only a satan spawn, but donated WMD to Hussein and told Sadam to gas his own people. Thus, all the evils in the world are Reagan's fault.

Hey, here is a small fact that I picked up: Ronald Reagan was the longest lived US President. Kinda blew me away when I heard that, so I went and looked it up, and low and behold, he was!

I agree for the most part. But some (I just mean some, not trying to bash on the majority of respectful, appropiate commentators) of the people on TV and the radio the last couple days have been exaggerating his legacy and phrasing things to deliberatly bait Reagan opponents into getting sick of it all and dissing on him.

Like most of the so-called political bloggers on here... they are just spouting out what they see and read on other blogs...I haven't seen one of them yet who actually has views of their own. I just ignore them... ignorance is bliss!!

I wish one station would have just shut their traps and let us enjoy the music, the sounds of the moment without their commentary. (I do not give a FUCK that Barbara Walters had lunch with the Reagans, blah blah blah...)

Ignorance is bliss? Um, sure, if you're an ostrich. Political apathy is why our country is run primarily by power-hungry, self-absorbed, greedy egoists. Everyone is too busy to pay attention at all.

It's NOT about the GOP. Or the Dems. It's about a tribute to a man. A man who, whether people supported his vision or not, sacrificed a lot for the good of our country.
This should be a non-partisan tribute. (But, I still agree with Mrs. Reagan's choice to not have Clinton or Carter speak - and it's not because of partisan reasons)

I agree! My friend IM'd me and ASKED who ronald reagan was! I was shocked....a lil ticked not much...but still this was one of the most comedic presidents of the united states of america people! He ended the cold war....when you talked to him it made you feel like you were the only thing he was concentrating on at the moment....too all of you who dont like him I'd like u to tmail me why! But leave poor Mrs.Reagan and her family alone...she's going througha hard enough time.....
