Ronald Reagan was one of the worst Presidents this country has seen. He was a total phony who would read from a script to hide his worsening dementia. He cared not an iota for the common man, but was a typical republican, only interested in enriching his big business buddies, and laying waste to the third world.
Least we forget, it was Reagan's policies that brought
1) Change to the federal tax system, giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy and big business, and shifting a horrendous tax burden to the middle class;
2) Change to environmental laws, wrecking havoc on natural resources, endangered species, and the health and welfare of all Americans;
3) Change to labor laws, wrestling hard-earned workers' rights from unions, and causing at least one industry, air traffic control, into paralysis, affecting the safety of air traffic for more than a year;
4) Change to American foreign policy, by selling arms to Iran, and forwarding the profits to right-wing Central American dictators to help fund their death squads;
5) Change to monetary policies resulting in his leaving office with the largest federal deficit yet seen in US history;
6) Change to education - when he could not disband the US Department of Education, as he campaigned to do - he succeeded in reducing Federal education spending by 50%, and ravaged local education control by diverting funding to the state leve.
In addition, there are millions of Californians whose minds and memories are not so feeble as to fail to remember not only the miserable years of the Reagan presidency, but the painful, bitter years of the Reagan governorship.
I for one, being a student at the University of California during Reagan's governorship, saw firsthand his efforts, and "success" in dramatically raising tuition costs while slashing budgets, terminating construction projects, firing Clark Kerr, the popular President of the University, and enraging faculty with his declarations that the state "should not subsidize intellectual curiosity".
His massive cuts to health and welfare benefits in California, and in particular, mental health care, is the single biggest cause of the massive increase in homelessness in California over the past three decades - the tossing out into the streets of thousands of sick people who could not function in society.

Ronald Reagan was a miserable President, a miserable governor, and a miserable person, whose show-biz persona produced a false image that unfortunately continues to endure.

Get the Ronald Reaganmug. A city in the middle of Buttfuck nowhere Louisiana. It is home to about 7,000+ people. There is nothing special about the place in particular but it does have a radio station, which plays Alternative rock. Which is quite odd, because Bunkie is a town mostly composed of rednecks and black people.
LMAO at those other guys' definitions, wtf are you guys talking about, Bunkie is a town right in the middle of Louisiana, near Alexandria.

Get the Christmasmug. The greatest con of all time, starring everyone's favorite hippie and con man, Jeebus Christ. (Hehe.)
What is the point of having a Religion, when you cannot prove that the religion's story itself is true?
You know how they say that in the USA, supposedly 80% of the population are christian? That is nothing other than propaganda generated by the church to alienate the minorities that live there; to allow minorities to feel out of place and conform to their religious philosophy. It's really about 50-something percent of christians that live in the USA, and some of the so called "christians" don't even go to church.
One question I want theistic religious people to answer: if newborn babies die, do they still get let into heaven, even though babies have no beliefs?
Well?...

Get the Religionmug. A heavy metal band. They used to rock, but now they suck.
Haven't you all noticed that they sound different? Page Hamilton sings different, too. They sound like poppy mainstream crap now. They don't even sound metal anymore. It's not even Helmet without Henry Bogdan, Peter Mengede and John Stanier. Mr. Hamilton should just retire.

Get the Helmetmug. A person who has been secluded from the darkness and evils of the world. Such as war, murder, suicide, abuse, cutting, rape, amputees, disease, drug abuse, gangsters and mafias.
A person who is sheltered is usually naive, likely religious, and does not know how the world works in reality.
Sheltering your children is a terrible thing and unrecommended. It promotes unawareness and makes them more vulnerable to be taken advantage of by corrupt, evil and manipulative people.

The majority of people in America are pathetically sheltered.

1.Seth MacFarlane has to steal from The Simpsons to make his own comedy shows seem funny.
2.Why does Seth MacFarlane treat his fans like crap? Doesn't he realize his so called "comedy" shows suck?
