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 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.

Get the Ronald Reagan mug.Ronald Reagan supported huge tax cuts for the super rich combined with massive increases in military spending mostly for boondoggles like his "starwars" missile defense plan that never worked. This sent our national debt into the trillions. Reagan was known for busting up labor unions and other anti-worker policies that drove down wages while CEO salaries soared. Some of Reagan's other accomplishments include creating the Taliban to fight off a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and providing arms to Saddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran war.

Get the Ronald Reagan mug.A preppy red neck hell where you’ll find dip on the floor and it’s socially expectable to wear crocks. On Fridays ugly pale guys where Jorts and you can see their hairy ass balls. If you see a blond bitch with shitty makeup wearing an ugly ass preppy shirt with Nike shorts and crocks she must go to Reagan.
