RIP Ronald Reagan - Page 15

Elspode · 06-12-2004, 11:56 PM

I blame myself for Radar's behavior in this thread. I probably shouldn't have titled it RIP Ronald Reagan. Radar is just following instructions.

What is it with amazing grace anyway? My wife swoons over this, it will be played at her funeral. It's a great song granted, but why do people get so loopy about it?

Happy Monkey · 06-13-2004, 07:42 AM

By any chance, has she seen the "Amazing Grace" documentary on PBS? Very well done, and could easily increase the sentimental feeling towards the song,

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

John Newton 1725-1807 (stanza 6 Anon)

Sorry, Radar. Someone beat you to it.

And he got Nixon's too ...

Talk-radio host Chris Dickson was enraged by the Reagan incident.

"I was at the Reagan Presidential Library in February of this year," he told WND. "'Dutch' was my commander in chief. I have personal interest in getting this individual and trying to protect the desecration of presidential graves against First Amendment rights."

Interesting wording, that...

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-09-2005, 01:06 PM

Which may raise the question of whether in this circumstance taking a big stick and whacking somebody's peepee in rebuttal amounts to protected speech.

Stupid pissy fascist person. Reagan's wisdom did the whole planet so much good, and the slavemongering slaveminded jackasses have never recovered.

Radar · 08-09-2005, 01:41 PM

Reagan did the world as much good as Josef Stalin. He spent generations of Americans into debt at birth, he tripled the size of government, he spent like a drunken sailor and left our children to pay the bill. He traded arms for hostages and then lied under oath about it.

I still may piss on his grave someday, and there's not a thing you, or a thousand of you could do about it.

lookout123 · 08-09-2005, 01:50 PM

nope there isn't a thing i can do about it. or want to do about it. except continue to laugh at you for thinking your vitriolic splash actually matters.

Happy Monkey · 08-09-2005, 02:10 PM

I'd be happy to let dead presidents lie, if only they didn't keep trying to name stuff after him. Especially in DC.

At least the Reagan Building is shaped like a toilet.

Except teach you a new and undesired meaning of the phrase "to jerk off."

There are numerous rocky hills around the Reagan Presidential Library, and each of the numerous hills has numerous cactus patches on it. We wouldn't mind dragging such a pissy fellow through and over the entire lot of them. We'll insult his intelligence, too. You don't want to be that bad a jerk. Seriously.

WE? You seem to have a penchant for commiting other people to violence.

Oddly, if he really is a member of the Libertarian Party he signed this- "I do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force as a means of achieving political or social goals."

Radar · 08-11-2005, 09:10 PM

I did take that pledge and I was serious about it. I won't initiate force, but I'll use plenty of it on those who do initiate it against me.

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-11-2005, 11:29 PM

Radar, it still wouldn't be at all healthy for you to try something like that. Do you have any idea at all just how popular Ronnie is out here, and with how much reason? Have you any idea at all just how libertarian the guy was? Close to the perfect politician: a Republican who thought like a Libertarian. I voted Libertarian both times Ronnie stood for election, but I was satisfied to have him in the Oval Office instead.
