__________________________________________________
President Reagan was, in fact, the last individual in the United States Who's Presidency would withstand an Impartial Jury Trial of it's validity (Americans mourn and International Criminals Cheer); we shall, indeed, miss him. He was the last President that moved the Economy Toward Solvency and away from Bankruptcy; away from Crime Expansion, instead of Headlong Toward It, as all have done-since (so-called Democrat and Republican, alike)...He, alone, was Both (and those that support his "Accountable to the Peoples" Governmental Reform; instead of the Representative-Jury- Fleeing, Constitution-opposing, Criminal-International Interests.... in the United States and Abroad)....
His Emergency Policies to Expand the Economy of The U.S. (and the Almost Impossible Task of Cutting-Taxes, WITHOUT ILLEGALLY-CUTTING TRUE SOCIAL SERVICES) is one that his-enemies (from within and without the Party) still attempt to use for their own thieving-purposes; and blame for the Economic Calamity THAT THEIR (NOT HIS) NEGLIGENCES AND POLICIES HAVE CREATED. Mr. Reagan Fought International Criminal Interests in the United States (it's even related, that John Hinckley had dinner with one of the Bush Family, the night before the attempted Assasination); George Bush, Sr. being the Chief of theU.S. Mission to the U.N., 1971...AMERICA SCREAMS FOR INVESTIGATION (AND PROSECUTION) TO THIS DAY....
He helped by-pass illegal, jury-fleeing, Red Tape...to allow Better Than Einstein, Freud, and The Founding Fathers, combined-research to be engaged; which these criminal-interests, within our Government, opposed...the Research that Produced the True Economic Recovery Materials, and The New, Scientific Government Training Programs that these same International-Criminal Interests (within our Government) oppose and obstruct, to this day....Since 1989 (the year of his leaving office)...Negligently-Murdering thousands, resultantly, since then.....
We pray for Justice for this Great American (at home-alone; and within the Courts we've built to provide such justice)....and that Americans will Appreciate, more fully, what he gave and has given to his Country.....THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....And, we hope that our Military Personnel will give some respect and regard to this man, above others, and mark his Tomb "Among The First"....and his opponents (who are also the opponents of all Americans); obstructing the implementation of these Life-Saving and Debt Reducing Scientific Government Programs, since 1989, marking the others "1000 Years, Minimum"......
As thousands of our people die-daily, from the results of these Negligent Failures To Implement These Government Training Programs, via the Historic-route of stealing due benefits by denying sought and due jury trials (through every means imaginable; educational, prohibitional, economic, and racial/religious)....they are, all, likewise, "AMONG THE FIRST" of those to die in this "WAR ON AMERICA" (masquerading as a "War on Drugs"[that opposes the newly-discovered Scientific/Jury-Withstandable Addiction Discoveries and Therapies]; "War on Iraq"[that opposes the scrutiny of our 90%-owner-representing juries', at every turn; and attempts to give a Trillion Dollar+ Oil Factory to Constitution-opposing/criminal Interests]; and "War on the Budget"[that's opposed the nation's first Truly Economy Expanding Programs, since 1989])....
Get these Scientific Government Training Programs Implemented, NOW, Before More Americans Die, needlessly.....TO HELL WITH THE MURDERERS OF RONALD REAGAN (and the other Great Americans who defeated these International Criminals in WW II and Oppose Them Still-Today....the Enemies of Our People, the Enemies of Life on Earth)...If they're running-to impartial jury trials, for all disputes (they're ours)...if they're running-from such impartial jury trials (whether hiding behind fraudulent juryless determinations or not); they've opposed Peaceful/Trial Resolution and opted for Dual/ Forceful Resolution (they're theirs)...Beware "Good Intentioned Government Employees"; the Government of the United States is Not the Place to Be, If You Don't Knowm This Much, At Least.....Leave, Now (or be held accountable For The Murderous-Results of Such Criminal Negligences, elsewhere)....

You're Wrong about One Thing

Reagan, in fact, WAS an international war criminal, however legitimate his election might have been. He supplied criminal regimes in several Central American countries with weapons and training, he sponsored the contra war against Nicaragua (illegal under both US and international war) and was fully cognizant of it, despite his claims not to have known about it, and he invaded Grenada to overthrow the government there. I could go on, but any claim to Reagan NOT being an international war criminal is bogus on the face of it.

Dear Dose,

Allow me to interrupt your revision of history here to point out a few real facts of the Reagan Legacy.

Fact: He ended the Cold War and defeated Soviet style communism and freed eastern Europe from the evils of totalitarianism.

While the Nuclear Freeze protesters were wetting their collective diapers all across Europe, Reagan deployed the Pershing II missiles in response to the Soviet Deployment of their intermediate range missiles. After the deployment, the Soviets immediately gave in and returned to the negotiating table and for the first time allowed for the reduction and dismantling of nuclear weapons.

Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, the Urkraine, East Germany were just a few of the countries liberated by the communist influence under the direction set forth by Reagan.

While John Kerry and friends were down in Nicaragua, virtually kissing the hands of communist leader, Daniel Ortega, Reagan set in motion plans for free elections in the country. Ortega and his bandana wearing compadries were soundly defeated when people were actually allowed to vote freely.

The final nail in the coffin was the rescue of the medical students in Grenada and ending Soviet influence in South and Central America. As you may recall, the Soviets were building a huge runway capable of supporting all types of military aircraft for future designs on control over the region.

His economic policies lead to a 20 year expansion the likes of which have never been seen despite having a liberal over spending congress for virtually all of his two terms. (He did have a Republican Senate for a short period)

He ended the malaize that was the centerpiece of the Carter Administration and restored America to its rightful place as the leader of the free world.

He left office as one of the most beloved Presidents of our time. He accomplished nearly everything that he set out do and will go down, for anyone who is capable of honestly viewing history, as the most successful President of the 20th century.

Thanks for letting me respond and God Bless the Gipper.

Ronald Reagan, 1911-2004: Goodbye and Good Riddance
Current rating: 0

Ronald Reagan has finally died at age 93. Predictably, politicians from both major parties have issued gushing tributes to this venal and vicious man, who was happy to slash workers' wages, see families thrown onto the street, support sadistic death squads and bomb other countries, if this was in the interests of the American ruling class.

Meanwhile, if recent history is any guide, the mainstream media will steer well clear of providing an accurate portrayal of Reagan, the man and the president. Last year, in a stunning act of cowardice, CBS canceled its much-publicized "docudrama" about Ron and Nancy, The Reagans, caving in to a campaign by the Republican National Committee, right-wing radio hosts, Fox News and conservative Internet sites. The movie was instead shown later to a much smaller audience on the Showtime cable network.

Conservatives attacked the film for portraying Reagan as homophobic, and Nancy as a domineering wife and mother who pulled the strings behind the scenes while abusing her children. They were apparently even more incensed that James Brolin, husband of liberal icon Barbra Streisand, played the part of Reagan.

While The Reagans was undoubtedly a monumental example of third-rate TV schlock, examples cited by conservatives of substantial inaccuracies didn't hold up. One complaint was that the movie showed Reagan ignoring the AIDS crisis because of its association with gay sex, and telling his wife, "They that live in sin shall die in sin."

But in real life, Reagan refused to mention AIDS publicly for six years, under-funded federal programs dealing with the disease and, according to his authorized biography, said, "Maybe the Lord brought down this plague," because "illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments."

C. Everett Koop, Reagan's surgeon general, later revealed, "because transmission of AIDS was understood primarily in the homosexual population and in those who abused intravenous drugs, the advisors to the president took the stand, they are only getting what they justly deserve."

In the movie, Nancy slaps her 5-year-old daughter, Patti. In real life, Patti wrote, "I first remember my mother hitting me when I was eight. It escalated as I got older and became a weekly, sometimes daily, event."

In the movie, Nancy insists, "Ketchup is a vegetable! It is not a meat, right? So it is a vegetable." In real life, Reagan directed the Department of Agriculture to classify ketchup as a vegetable in September 1981 in an attempt to slash $1.5 billion from the federal school lunch program.

Conservatives also criticized the movie for what it did not include. "Does it show he had the longest and strongest recovery in postwar history?" asked Reagan's White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater.

But Reagan's economic policies were a disaster for working-class Americans. Reagan presided over the worst recession since the 1930s, and economic growth in the 1980s was lower than in the 1970s, despite the stimulus of military Keynesian policies, which created massive federal budget deficits and tripled the federal debt. By the end of the decade, real wages were down and the poverty rate had increased by 20 percent.

The real problem with The Reagans was not that it was too critical of the Reagan presidency, but that it was largely uncritical. According to The New York Times, the movie "paints [Reagan] as an exceptionally gifted politician and a moral man who stuck to his beliefs, often against his advisers' urgings."

Reagan was many things, but "gifted" was not one of them. "Poor dear," remarked British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, his closest international ally, "there's nothing between his ears." As for a "moral man," Reagan's morality included union busting--beginning with his dismissal of striking air traffic controllers in 1981--an unprecedented war on the poor, opposition to civil rights and support for apartheid South Africa. The "moral" Reagan trained and supported terrorists, including the Nicaraguan contras ("the moral equal of our Founding Fathers") who killed over 30,000 people, and Islamic radicals in Afghanistan who later formed the al-Qaeda network.

Reagan was also a liar. In November 1986, he publicly denied that his administration had been illegally selling arms to Iran and using the proceeds to fund the contras. One week later he was forced to retract this statement, but denied that the sale was part of a deal to free U.S. hostages. The following year, Reagan admitted that there had been an arms-for-hostages deal, but denied he knew anything about it.

In 1992, that too proved to be a lie when former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger was compelled to release notes from a January 1986 meeting revealing, "President decided to go with Israeli-Iranian offer to release our 5 hostages in return for sale of 4,000 TOWs [U.S. missiles] to Iran by Israel."

The man whose administration spearheaded class warfare on behalf of the rich, dragged American politics to the right, and rebuilt US imperialism after the Vietnam debacle, is dead. Good riddance.

Dear Phil,

I see you are a member of the Socialist Worker organization. Your hatred of Ronald Reagan is inspired by his total an utter defeat of Soviet style communism. I guess that makes your lives work kind of pointless.

He did not just defeat it, he made it collapse under it's own weight and they fell for it hook line and sinker.

Anyway Phil, the one thing I expected from you folks on this day and I guess I will never learn, is some sign of respect or just a little class.

I'll keep hoping,

Jack
Collective Amnesia or Collective Alzheimer's: America 'Remembers' Ronald Reagan
Current rating: 0

To remember Ronald Reagan as one of the greatest Presidents of the twentieth century, to replace FDR on the dime with Reagan's profile as Republicans wish to do, we are being asked to forget too much.

We are asked to forget Lebanon, where Reagan decided to "cut and run" after hundreds of Marines perished when a suicide bomber invaded their compound.

We are asked to forget the arms for hostages deal.

We are asked to forget El Salvador, where the right wing ARENA, armed with Reagan money, Reagan weapons, and Reagan military training from the School of the America's at Fort Benning, Georgia slaughtered more than 80,000 civilians in the "War on Communism."

We are asked to forget the Iran-Contra Scandal, an event that he evidently "could not recall" in response to more than one hundred questions during the Congressional hearings.

We are asked to forget the groundwork laid for nuclear disarmament by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Nixon.

We are asked to forget the Strategic Arms Limitations Treaties I and II.

We are asked to forget the re-freezing of the Cold War following the Nixon thaw, when Reagan bellicosely denounced the Soviets as the "Evil Empire," and then joked on his weekly radio address that our missiles were ready to launch.

We are asked to forget the silly invasion of Grenada following the Lebanon disaster, and the reversal of goodwill gestures made to the Caribbean made by previous administrations, including the return of the Panama Canal.

We are asked to forget the Soviet Union's internal move to Perestroika, a groundswell that occurred over decades resulting in a generation of new Communists by 1985 who were not manufactured by Reagan's bravado, but were products of the "Evil Empire."

We are asked to forget that Reagan presided over the worst recession since the Great Depression.

We are asked to forget the enormous cuts to social welfare programs and the Veterans Administration, moves that led to such an enormous rise in the homeless population, especially evident on the streets of Washington, D.C., that even comedians felt that they had to do something to stop the bleeding with "Comic Relief."

We are asked to forget the policies that enriched agri-business at the expense of small farmers, continuing the decline of the family farm to the point that recording artists were the only ones left to uphold the Populists' mantle with "Farm-Aid."

We are asked to forget that he slashed taxes for the wealthiest, raised taxes on the poor, and then bailed out the corrupt Savings and Loan industry at taxpayer expense.

We are asked to forget that his SEC presided over such a corrupt and over-inflated stock market that the Dow saw the largest one-day crash in its history, greater than in 1929.

We are asked to forget that Reagan's economic policies effected a reversal in the trend toward greater distribution of wealth begun by Progressive Republican, Democratic, and Socialist politicians in the early twentieth centuries, and have led us to the greatest concentration of wealth today since the days of Andrew Carnegie and James Pierpont Morgan.

We are asked to forget the enormous and outrageous military contracts, for which American taxpayers paid hundreds of dollars for nuts, bolts, and toilet seats, and the nation saw defense-spending rise to astronomical heights.

We are asked to forget the Reagan Administration's opposition to the Civil Rights movement, their blocking of busing programs and cuts to Head Start meant to bring equality of opportunity to American education.

We are asked to forget that Reagan considered ketchup to be a vegetable in federal school lunch programs.

We are asked to forget "government cheese."

We are asked to forget jelly beans, splitting wood, bad b-movies, McCarthy-ite participation in Hollywood blacklisting.

We are asked to forget our history.

We are asked to forget, and forget, and forget.

And by the looks of the New York Times and Washington Post's memorials to the "Great Communicator," it appears that what historian Studs Terkel has referred to as "America's collective amnesia" is still acute.

Perhaps it is more serious than that.

Perhaps we have a national case of Alzheimer's Disease.

Perhaps our ability to remember relatively recent events has eroded, and our capacity for rational thought has diminished as well.

Perhaps we are becoming a danger to ourselves and others.

Perhaps we need admittance into a managed care facility for nations.

Perhaps we are "riding off into the sunset." How else do we explain our descent into Bushism?: our quick repetition of past economic and foreign policy blunders, our re-visitation of failed policies to solve current problems, our persistent dementia that results in trying the same things and expecting different results? As of now, there is no cure for Alzheimer's Disease, only management of the symptoms and provision of comfort until death.

Hopefully Studs Terkel is right, and we've just suffered another blow to the head from which the American people will recover, and remember, and remember, and remember.
