Probably the most overrated president in the history of America. His "trickle down" policies basically let the poor go to hell, while the privileged were allowed more privileges. Meanwhile, Reaganomics had a great success in raising national debt from $700 billion to $3 trillion.
He is given credit for ending the Cold War instead of the true heros like Gorbachev and to a lesser extent, Walesa. Communism was on its last legs anyway and the system was failing from within. Reagan didn't do much more than make a few nice, happy speeches.
The idea he supported freedom is a myth, shown by his support for brutal South American dictators which was/is glossed over. Reagan installed the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and propped up Saddam Hussein in Iraq despite the known atrocities. Later, the Republicans would do a HUGE U-turn on this, in their quest for oil.
And anyone who chooses shit like Donald Rumsfeld to work for them, can't be all that great.

Get the Ronald Reagan mug.The process by which a rat scampers into a hole on someone's crotch, and is then exploded by the sheer force of that individual's perineum crushing down on its body.

If you were going to apply for a job (most job managers don't want peirced employees.), and you have a nose piercing, you could use a piercing retainer in the place of your nose ring... not to noticable, unless close in each others face.

Get the Piercing Retainer mug.Refers to da humorous "I really like you" gesture of not merely slapping da other person's hand when ya smilingly offer said pal a high-five, but instead interlacing yer fingers with his and really "hand-wrestling him good" for a few seconds. A great way of showing a cute lady how much you enjoy/value/desire her companionship while you have hold of her hand, anyway; hopefully she will allow you to maintain your joyful clasp of said warm/soft extremity for an extended period afterwards, and possibly even accompany you on a hand-in-hand stroll around town afterwards if her current schedule permits.
A clasp-retaining high-five is an awesome way to initially "break the ice" with a new gal and get her head-swimmingly starry-eyed for you.. play your cards right and you may have her lying back on your bed stark-naked within an hour or two.

Get the clasp-retaining high-five mug.An amazing girl with the biggest heart. She is always there for you no matter how much she is hurting. If you know her you are one lucky person. She is strong and takes no bs from anyone. If you know a Reagan you are truly blessed.

Get the Reagan mug.When I was a kid me and my friends used to build bike ramps in the middle of the street, cuz that's where the cars are. The object was to ride as fast as you could and hopefully get airborn, but that's as far as we planned. Then there's the one could who has to go tell mom...Hey mom I just came running in at full speed to say hi and see how you were. Oh and ummm you know Kevin right mom...well we were out in the street and his arm don't bend like this no more. We were thinking since you were going to the store to get milk, maybe you could drop him off at the hospital or sumpin.

Get the Brian Reagan mug.1.) The second worst President of the USA, EVER! The first being GWB. For some reason he's the object of neo-cons' wet dreams.
2.) A nauseating conversation that always comes up during 2008 GOP Presidential Debates.
2.) A nauseating conversation that always comes up during 2008 GOP Presidential Debates.
1.) Remember back when Saddam actually did have WMDs in the '80s, and gassed the Curds with them. Ronald Reagan was the guy who gave them to him. Ronald Reagan was also responsible for Iran Contra, the overrated POS should've been impeached over it.
2.) Last night during the GOP Presidential debate, McCain, Romney, and Huckabee all went in graphic detail on how they'd like to perform necrophiliac acts to Reagan's remains.
