"LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan (news - web
sites),
who forged a conservative revolution that transformed American politics,
died on
Saturday after a decade-long battle with Alzheimer's disease (news - web
sites),
U.S. media reported. He was 93."
His was the first presidency I paid attention to, as I was just starting
high school and paying attention to the "real world". For me, he was the
80's. My grandfather suffered from alzheimers and passed on in '91, and I
know the heartbreak it causes loved ones. Watching President Reagan with
the
same touched me deeply, as does his passing. I find solace in the fact
that
he no longer suffers, and has gone onto a better place. All of my thoughts
and prayers go to his family.
Sad day in American history. Reagan RULED. He went right up to the
Commies and kicked them square in the nuts!

And we are so much better off. Now, instead of our enemies
contained in one place, today Russian Mafia controls many of our
industries, legal and illegal. (About what we're gonna
accomplish in Iraq when it's all said and done.)
All the petty little dictatorships were suddenly abandoned
when the Russian Premier (not Ronnie Reagan) dissolved USSR; so,
for the past, what, 15 years or so, they've been supporting
terrorists trying to achieve some sort of parity with the West.

Reagan may have been a good man at heart. but he belived too
fully in the trickle down theory (i.e. give it to the Enrons and
the stuff they shit will be rich enough to feed the little people).
