Ronald Regan, You are forgiven! RIP!

In short, After watching the sunset funeral. I'd almost
forgotten about how Ronald Regan boycotted the 1980 Moscow
Olympics to the chagrin of many steller US contenders. Yet,
the total sum of the Presidents output over the span of his
tenures certainly over rides this fact.

I'm sure the 1980 US Olympic teams feel the same way!

At anyrate.

God bless the the Regan family. Rest in peace Mr
President...you were most certainly America's first man.

Games.

I bet you are a product of government schools. Jimmy Carter
was president in 1980. He was the one who forced the USOC to
boycott the Games. The election was held in 1980, but the
president does not take office until January of the
following year.

For the record, I know of one Olympian who despises Jimmy
Carter for that reason alone.

Let's see. He supported Saddam. He supported Apartheid. He
tripled the national debt. He traded weapons for hostages.
He wasted trainloads of money on a fantasy missile defense
system, only to have it scrapped later with no apology. He
funded dictators who's policies included genocide(which
technically made him an accomplice to murder.). He started
showing signs of Alzheimers halfway through his 2nd term,
and hid the fact from the public. His economic policies
broke the back of the American labor movement, as well as
the working middle class..............but he was a charmer.
Forgiven? Not until I have Alzheimer's.

Well said!

For the record, who cares? Just one more delusional
republican who has misplaced his hate on a democrat.

god's way of punishing ronnie for all the harm he did to certain segments of
the american population.

If that were true, why give him a disease he didn't even
know he had? (once it took hold) But the real question is:
Did he die with a load in his Depends?

I don't believe in god but I do believe in karma. I think
that this is simply karma coming back to him.

I wonder what disease bush will get? Maybe Ebola?

I'm not unsympathetic to his family though. Who amongst us
could've watched Nancy kissing his coffin, and saying
goodbye, without crying? That was about the saddest moment
on TV I have ever seen, and I caught it strictly by
coincidence. But it brought home the fact that even if you
thought he was a dickhead, and he was, he was still loved
very deeply by his wife and most of his family, although it
is my understanding his kids despised him.

Who amongst us could've watched Nancy kissing his coffin,
and saying goodbye, without laughing?

How about "homelessness" ? Oh wait, I forgot, repubs say
that isn't a disease because they WANT to be homeless...
