Ronald Reagan - see what the loyal Democrats are saying.

[Turfgrass]

You'll find such postings as: "The hysteric media outburst has already begun, his crimes against humanity notwithstanding. The blunt idiocy of that national self-deprecating spectacle makes me sick to my stomach. Other than that, I'll proceed to celebrate the news in private. For now. (Posted by NV1962)

And here's another post from Democraticunderground.com. This one from "mopaul."

I don't care what killed him, Alzheimer's or the black plague, I'm glad he's dead and I don't care how many times I'm scolded or chastised for it. the day he took office was the most depressing day of my life, and i swore, that on the day he died, I'd drink a toast of celebration and figuratively piss on his grave and have said so to several Gingrich sucking Reagan worshipping dickheads. F--k Ronald Reagan, and i hope in some small way my f--k you counteracts all the bulls--t we are going to be hammered with for a f--king month after the fall of this 'greeeeeaaaaaat human being'. F--k you Ronnie, here's to ya pal. see ya in hell

Other posters on Democraticunderground .com followed with such comments as: "Yup, one less Nazi terrorist in the world with the death of Ronald Reagan"

Here's a direct link to some of those postings.

It might be removed by the time you get there, but give it a shot. Today is a good day to take a close look into the black hearts of our compassionate liberal friends.

Well at least they are consistent. I would have expected no less. Thanks for the post Turf and this does not apply to you, but to those posts...

Hard to believe someone could be that warped. How do you revel in the death of a president, whether you agreed with him or not?

Perhaps he's just being a keyboard bully. I'd rather think that's the case rather than he actually feels that way.

Or am I being naive?

i tend

i tend

to feel very sorry for these people...it must be very uncomfortable living in their skin....to be consumed by politics to this extent....

are these people americans, i wonder?....i have seen some of this vitriol from some internationals....actually,now that i mention it,i`ve seen this kind of stuff right here at jacks from fellow americans....

it`s unfortunate....and ashamed.....

i have to say that if jimmy carter passed,i`d be one of the first to be here with something positive to say......maybe many feel that carter wasn`t a very good president....but he was an honest man...a man with character.......who really had the good of this country at heart.....

the hatred of some is a bit frightening...it almost borders on the kind of fantacism we see from the muslim fringe...

Aside from Dogs that Bark, Wilson and a few others who chose to take political shots in it, i'm pretty sure that the 'condolence' thread here regarding Reagan was quite respectful, from both sides of the political spectrum.

Turfgrass,

You should know better than to quote some fringe website/ forum with a bunch of sick people and try to broadly label Democrats and/or liberals. It would take a 2 second google search to find websites just as bad or worse attacking whatever we were looking for. Weak.

 

[gardenweasel]

actually

actually

what i was thinking of when i posted my response was someone that i haven`t seen here lately making fun of reagan`s alzheimer`s(this was prior to his death).......

that,imo,was beyond the pale........totally uncalled for and unnecessary...showing a total lack of respect for someone in horrible circumstances...

akin to calling roosevelt a "gimp" or making fun of kennedy`s assassination....

pathetic...

 

[Eddie Haskell]

Couldn't agree more Kosar. Citing fringe radical websites as reprentative of the democratic party or liberal thinking is similar to citing Fox News for fair and balanced reporting. I'm certain if we dig far enough (and probably not to far) we will find websites supporting the assasination of President Clinton for his bj. To quote a poster above....so much for compassionate conservatism.

I'm certain not all Republicans will advocate the murder of a former president. Well, other than Dr. Freeze. So if you continue to cite fringe websites and try to suggest that such content represents the majority of the left, I believe you significantly weaken your arguement. If the DNC's official website said something like this, you would have a point.

As a matter of fact, the DNC was nothing other than respectful and kind, honoring Mr. Reagan indicating that his death was a loss for all Americans. This post is another example of a typical Dogs That Bark type post, finding some fringe crap on the web and posting it as gospel. Weakens your case boys.

it doesn't matter if you like our president or not. he is our president. in many ways i didn't like Clinton, but he was still our president. when a president dies it is a loss for all of us.

 

[djv]

Yes I like that headline the loyal democrats. It looks to me like the true dems are paying there respects. Us indepentents even say more good things then bad. And we are the swing voters who put him in office.

 

[toastonastick]

DJV

how can you claim to be an indepedent?

You said in the previuos thread that

Reagan was a democrat before 68 so he had good roots.

Does that sound like an indepedent?

 

[Turfgrass]

I was just bringing to light what "some" people are saying... and those people call themselves Democrats.

I'm not calling them anything...but I thought you might like to see how a few of them think.

 

[Chain Saw]

djv...you're about as independent as James Carville.

 

[shamrock]

garden, if it was me you referred to making negative comments regarding president Reagan, I beg to differ. Further if any future opportunities present themselves, please don't hesitate to refer to me by name. I'm a man, and will stand behind any comments or opinions I offer. If you were not referring to me, no need to read any further, and kindly accept my deepest apologies.



In case I wasn't so lucky, and your words were directed at me, let me assure you I hold no "hatred" for the former President, actually quite the contrary I feel he did many positive things for our country, and genuinely appeared when America needed someone precisely like him. I feel he was a true Patriot and feel he served the country extremely well. Actually President Reagan was the first president I voted for when given that privilege as a young and energetic American. As I previously stated I think President Reagan overwhelmingly did more to benefit this country than not. However even if this was NOT, my opinion, never would I be the type of individual to find joy or pleasure in the passing of any human being, let alone a former President. I feel that even President Carter who was a woeful President , truthfully believed in what he was doing, he was indeed trying to help the country. Few who study Carter can dispute that the planet has seldom seen such a gentle, caring, genuine humanitarian.

It is because I feel this way not only about Presidents, but most human beings, that I took offense of your post. I would never show no "respect for someone in such horrible circumstances" nor would I ever "make fun of Reagan' s Alzheimer's". Reason being my friend is I live every day knowing full to well what these "horrible circumstances" are, and recognize them on a daily basis.

I never signed on for agreeing with everything every voted official stood for or represented. Again I overwhelmingly agree President Reagan did far more good than negative in my book. That being said I disagree with 2 of his decisions, 1 political and the other ideological. The first has to do with firing the union air traffic controllers, the second has to do with the Presidents strong PRO LIFE beliefs, and there relationship with stem cell research and the inherent blocking of the cure of several horrible afflictions such as Alzheimer's, spinal cord injury, Parkinsons, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, etc. etc. etc. I believe one can still be pro Life & support this research, others disagree. Few actually realize the aborted stem cells end up in the trash (medical waste) helping nobody.

Some have the ability to have casual opinions or thoughts on the matter. For me personally and my Family and many like us the subject has meant much more. President Reagan & Bush after him did much to oppose & suppress this technology. Please know I still voted FOR REAGAN & BUSH. undeniably I think they did more good than negative. Because of my believes regarding stem cells for the past 15 years and Reagan & Bush continual suppression of this technology, is the only reason I posted what I did, and I only posted it after seeing first lady Nancy Reagan on several television outlets now shilling & supporting the same research that they had not supported for years & years.

Here is my entire post just to make clearhey Wilson, wasn't it old Ronnie himself that couldn't answer those questions about hostages, "I CAN'T RECALL", I CAN'T RECALL, I CAN'T RECALL, I CAN'T RECALL,


speaking of Ronnie, saw old Nancy making the rounds, now begging for STEM CELL RESEARCH. Same technology Reagan put the hammer down on in the late 80' s. Seems Ronnie could use some stem cells now with that Alzheimer's problem. Now Nancy is all for stem cells. Like most things, its needed by THEM NOW, SO ITS A GOOD THING, SO REPUBLICAN.

nowhere in that statement do I see myself as making fun of President Reagan s Alzheimer's. I stated the facts that he has Alzheimer's and the stem cells could have helped. Also lets be clear this was several weeks before his passing, and I had no knowledge that he was indeed getting more ill by the day. Again I meant no malicious thoughts, that simply isn't me, I'm not the type of person to speak in the tone of those represented in TURF GRASS ARTICLE ABOVE.

nor do I consider myself on the fringe with the Muslim extremists my friend Garden, whether you consider me pathetic or not.

[gardenweasel]

no

no

it wasn`t you,shammy.....if you made `em,i never saw `em....


and if you made `em,it would surprise me.....and i`d feel sorry for you....

and for me,stem cell research isn`t even a question.....it seems to potentially hold the key to ending much human suffering.....

we need to climb into the 21st century and do everything we can for ourselves....let go of ridiculous moral arguments....

we have a growing geriatric population......we need to get off the dime...

I'd be hurt if that statement came from someone,as I said before, smart enough to break even on a coin toss. :tongue
I have to assume from your posts that you think there might actually be someone here who puts merit in anything you say.

----Hmm but I could be wrong---evidently this attorney thinks someone will believe him.

"Slave Syndrome, Scuppered Sonnets, Cutting 'Crusade'

Monday, June 07, 2004

By Scott Norvell



A lawyer in Portland, Ore., plans to argue that his client beat his 2-year-old son to death because his ancestors were abused as slaves hundreds of years ago, reports the Portland Oregonian.

Lawyer Randall Vogt said his client, Isaac Cortez Bynum, whipped and broke his son's neck and ribs because he suffers from post-traumatic slave syndrome (search).

The syndrome's main proponent, Portland academic Joy DeGruy-Leary, claims that because African Americans never got a chance to heal from slavery and still face racism, oppression and societal inequality, they suffer from multigenerational trauma."

Toast he did have good roots. I voted for the man. I first could vote for Johnson we had to wait till 21 at that time or I would have vote for Kenndy but I was just 20. Johnson was not a good idea. He had some good points. But got lost in the war. If I could have I would have vote for Ike a excellent one I gave Nixon a try bad idea. Carter bad idea. Reagan for the most part very good idea. The first Bush bad idea. Clinton very good for the most part. Now this Bush started good but lied just like Clinton so the heck with him. Yes im indepentent. I only wish Mc Cain could have won.
How do I rate them. I think Reagan, and Clinton for overall performance were the best of those I did vote for. And even Nixon had some good ideas but just screwed it all up for him self.
May Ron rest in pieace. He suffered long enough.
