Thank God that I don't get Air America radio in my area, because I'm certain that Al Franken and Janine Garafolao (sp?) would dance on his graves. I hope they burn in hell with Nesagwa. :very_ang:

And for the record, I'm not liberal or conservative. I think that Regan and Clinton are two of the best presidents in the history of America.

Nesagwa, why do you always have to poke fun at people's deaths? That shit isn't funny at all.

ronald reagan really didn't do much good for this country. he was a good man, but a not so good president.

SouthtownKid · Jun 5, 2004

I don't wish for anyone's death but it's hard to get upset when a 92 year-old dies. Even before the Altziemers (I can't spell it, either) he had a full, long life. I hate to break it to you, but we're all going to die. Many of us won't make it to 92.

slerch666 · Jun 5, 2004

Dude, it's not sad. What's sad is the fact that he spent the last part of his life not remembering things he had done, and towards the end he couldn't even remember his own fucking wife. Personally, if it were me I would have wanted to die long before that heppened. I mean, seriously, what's the point of living if you die not even remembering what you've done? At least he is someone that will be remembered by others for something.

92 years... that's one HELL of a long ride for people. He had to go sometime.

neo1087 · Jun 5, 2004

What are you talking about? Not to get intu a huge debate,but what about the Regan Era? It grew to be one of the biggest peace time expansions in us history.The Reagan Era was a time in which every income quintile saw gains in overall wealth and income, a time in which the middle class gained the most and our economy grew by a third.He also was part of us winning the Cold War. :oh_no:

This is in response to Nsh's post,sorry the other 2 guys posted before i got to say something.

so true. i think he was the last honest republican president....

Nesagwa · Jun 5, 2004

Well, he wasnt a great president, he was over 90, couldnt remember who he was, escaped death once already.

It was his time, nothing to be sad about.

True, because Ronald Reagan basically helped the Cold War, it weren't for him being president, we'll still be waiting for a nuclear missle attack from USSR.

THANK YOU!! FINALLY SOMEONE CAN SEE THAT!!! good man....

In rare cases some people gets Alzheimers as early as in their 40s. Anyway, he probably forgot about his wife *long* ago. Its not uncommon to loose your language in the last stages.

I can't stand this sentiment at all. Talk about misplacing credit.

The USSR collapsed from within. Their failed war in Afghanistan and Breznev's mismanagement of the state had WAAAY more to do with the end of the cold war than Reagan ever did. The USSR collapsed because Gorbachev's reforms far exceeded their intended goals and ended up destroying the very system they were intended to fix.

As for Reagan, sure it was the largest economic growth seen during peacetime, but it was in exhange for the largest deficits in US history. His administration single-handedly created a national debt that tripled what existed before he took office. You, me, and all other taxpaying citizens are now left with the burden of paying it off...which is going to last until long after any of us dies.

I'm not going to celebrate his death, but I do think that a great number of people greatly overestimate how good a president he was.

Arcademan · Jun 5, 2004

Actually a small correction...he was 93...the oldest living president in history though I wouldn't really call the last 10 years of his life 'living' :crying:

My condolences to the Reagan Family

i was going to bring this up. in summarize, the cold war didn't really end because of reagan. it just ended while reagan was in office.

Yeah man that sucks. Ronnie RAYGUN was one of the better Presidents IMO. He lived a long time though, 93 years and all. I salute him.

TRUE. "Now go out and win one for the Guipper!"

RAINBOW PONY · Jun 5, 2004

I mean, I'd like to personally slap everyone who was all like "OMG no waaay he's stiff!" when they got word of it, I mean hello?

Jedah Doma · Jun 5, 2004

A sad day indeed. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family. He was the last of a dying breed of honorable and respectable men. He will be sorely missed.
