Fuck Reagan
To quote a young friend of mine (who was born during the first Emperor Has No Clothes Administration), Fuck Reagan.
I'll say it again. Fuck Reagan.
The man was no saint. His personality was all actor bullshit. He was a xenophobic, homophobic, ignorant bastard. He's been out of the public eye for nearly a generation now, so save your fucking tears. He spent his last years dottering and drooling around the edge of a pool on Cielo Drive, raking the leaves from one side to the other as the Secret Service kept re-planting, just to keep him busy.
In fact, not a lot differnet than he did as President.
He promised smaller government, and then presided over the biggest increase in the Federal Bureaucracy in history.
He promised to cut taxes, and then raised them seven times.
He claimed to want to bring freedom and democracy to the world, and then propped up the most fascistic of dictators -- torturers with WMDs.
He created Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
He traded arms for the lives of American Citizens, the famous Iranian Hostages.
He ignored the AIDS crisis throughout most of his administration.
He's burning in hell right now, next to Richard Nixon and somewhere on top of Herbert Hoover. Reagan was no saint. He was a prick, and my only regret is that he died twenty or thirty years too early. When they march his coffin across your TV screen for the four hundredth time, remember two things...
And as for all that sympathy toward Nancy -- Ms. "Just Say No" can go fuck herself as well, and would do this country good by tossing herself on St. Reagan's funeral pyre in Simi Valley. She always was a psychotic bitch on wheels, and no amount of "oh, they loved each other so much" media bullshit will ever change that.
Bitter, me? Nah. Except that I manged to get a glimpse of what the world could have been like, from January 20th 1993 until January 20th, 2001. The real American Hero of Democracy reigned in that span of time. His predecessors and sucessor were and are the vipers in Rome's bosom.
So, here's to you, Ronnie. May you rot in hell.

1) He damn near brought us to nuclear war with Russia; the Cold War ending was an accident of history and, honestly, it didn't happen until his successor was in office;Although I'm an atheist, I honestly hope that Ronnie Raygun is burning to a crisp in the hottest level of hell right about now, and wondering why, as his addled brain tries to remember who he is.
2) Cheney, Rumsfeld and other such felons now in high office cut their teeth in Reagan's administration. We are now paying for the sins of the Gipper in a world gone mad.
