Ronald Reagan is a pussy

Strong words?

Reagan was full of strong words and gets credit for defeating the Soviet Union with the phrase, "Tear down this wall!"

In 1983, Russian shot down a Korean airliner, KAL-007 over international waters. Reagan was on vacation. His press secretary must have been on vacation, too.

An assistant press secretary read a short message to the country on behalf of the President which included this phrase:

Mrs. Reagan and I want to express our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims. Our prayers are with them in this time of bereavement, and they have my personal assurance that I will make every effort to get to the bottom of this tragedy.

The Russian recovered the black boxes soon after the shoot down. Reagan got the black boxes returned ... never in his Presidency. It was 1999 when the world got access to the data on the flight recorders.

There was a U.S. Congressman on the flight, Lawrence McDonald, representative from Georgia in the United States House of Representatives.

McDonald's body was never returned to the U.S. His body and others may have been 'lost' in an effort to hide evidence.

Rhino in Arizona. McCain gets horned.

Or maybe the title should be, Never Channel the Gipper on Immigration.

"Only in times of great crisis or betrayal is it necessary to publicly censure our leaders. Today we are faced with both," the Republican censure resolution stated.

Well, ex-Presidential candidate, John McCain has caused this crisis by his betrayal of 'real Mavericks.'

Those my age know the real Maverick is not Tom Cruise in Top Gun or the Jew hating Mel Gibson.

Why of course it's Sarah Palin, Doah! Poor Jim Gardner.

As wacky as my blog gets, nothing is more wacky than a censure of McCain because he advocated a legal path to citizenship for Hispanics, who are all illegal Medicare/Welfare sucking Walking Dead Vampires killing white males at birth.

I don't mind that racist Republican portrayal so much. I just wish one of these Medicare/Welfare sucking Walking Dead Vampires had sucked the life out of Justin Bieber on the day he was born. So much for today's terroristic internet threats made in jest and to be repented in Gitmo.

Sadly, we must acknowledge the existence of Miley Cyprus and Justin Bieber because we've seen them on TV. Or Fox News as TV is known in Georgia. TV makes it real for us. Supposedly.

That's the only reason I don't believe in Medicare/Welfare sucking Walking Dead Vampire Hispanics. I've never seen them on TV. Maybe they can't be photographed either.

However, President Reagan had never seen these non-photogenic killers either.

Reagan was always "encountering over and over and over again good, hard-working, decent people — clearly recent arrivals from Mexico." Never Honduras which was too close to Nicaragua, home of the http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1986/3/17/thugs-not-freedom-fighters-pbjbudging-by/, who were blood relatives of our Founding Fathers.

Only Mexico and Mexicans. I mean, really. Have you ever seen any illegal immigrants from Honduras on TV?

So McCain channeled Reagan's famous quote, "I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here, even though sometime back they may have entered illegally."

When he did, he betrayed the Gipper's True Conservative Legacy. If that is ever lost, even TV won't solve the resulting Red State/Tea Party crisis.

Unless Justin Bieber marries Sarah Palin in a Los Vegas ceremony officiated by Miley Cyrus and Elvis.

Who wants to catch that bouquet?

Obama most admired in Gallop Poll

Polls do have purpose, merits, and benefits. Sometimes it's hard to see why.

Gallop has a new poll on "Most Admired."

For 6 years in a row, Americans have identified President Barack Obama as their most admired male. Hillary Clinton has been the most admired woman for 12 years in a row.

Ronald Reagan hasn't gotten an honorable mention since 2003. Our newest Pope looks to be tied for second with former President, George W. Bush. I'd rate the Pope a lot higher than that.

The question was completely open ended. Of all the 6 billion people living today on this planet, who do you admire most? Who would be second? I'd say our President being mentioned by 16% respondents who were given a pool of 6 billion possibilities is something to think about.

Last year, he got 30%. Seems that messing up a web page really hurt.

Is that what we should be comparing with this poll? Here's another version from Gallop.

This shows a better trend.

George W. Bush was the most admired in 7 of his 8 years in office. He's the only President since Nixon who couldn't carry the title for each year in office. Carter only carried 3 of his 4 years in office but he got beat out in the 4th year by Pope John Paul II. I think the Pope should be ahead of everyone. So I'm ignoring Carter's 4th year loss.

Other than Douglas MacAuthur and Pope John Paul, only US Presidents were named as Most Admired. Hillary Clinton has been the 'Most Admired Woman' 18 times in 21 years. Mother Teresa beat her out twice.

What I got out of this poll is that Barack Obama knocked a sitting President off the top of the list. That Bush was less admired by the general public than a Democratic Candidate in 2008.

Democrats, don't write yourselves off. You're more admired than you think.

Hans Solo Blaster

I want one and it seems the only one known to exist is for sale.

Star Wars

But can I conceal carry it? I wouldn't do it. I'd holster that sucker and waddle like a Hero. Well, any Star Wars hero except Reagan.

Ronald Reagan quotes. Timeless.

"It's possible we did, but I don't recall."

"I wouldn't know."

"I don't recall."

"[S]ometimes I kind of ran for cover and was very happy to duck a committee duty in these matters."

"I don't honesty recall."

"I don't recall."

"I have no recollection of this particularly."

"I wouldn't be able to tell you."

"[M]y memory is like a kaleidoscope.

"To tell you of my own memory, in my mind I can tell you whether we did nor not, I can't. I don't really recall."

" I don't know what you are getting at with the question."

"There you have me. I wouldn't know where we cracked that and if you tell me I'll have to take your word for it."

"Well, maybe the fact that I married ... and went on a honeymoon had something to do with my being a little bit hazy."

"I don't recall ... [because] I was up in Glacier park making a cowboy picture."



He has something in common with me. I don't recall him being a great man. Not in my memory. Honestly. I can't. Not even hazy.




All the quotes are taken from his sworn testimony before a Grand Jury in 1962.

Reagan still a friend to Islamic extremists!

Yes, Ronald Reagan is DEAD! But, his policy towards bin Laden continues to kill Americans.

Reagan funded bin Laden in Afghanistan through the selling of drugs (Iran-contra scandal).

Reagan reestablished full diplomatic relations with Saddam Hussein, sending Donald Rumsfeld to Baghdad as a personal, Presidential envoy.

And, making the news today, Reagan's 1987 pick as United Nations delegate was charged today with ... lobbying Congress to raise money for the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

Once a friend of bin Laden, always a friend of bin Laden.

Our president, Ronald Reagan, keeps on giving to our enemies, even from his grave.

Thanks, Ronald, on behalf of over 3,000 dead 'freedom fighters' now serving in our Armed Forces.
