Ronald Reagan’s son Ron has rented a billboard in Cleveland so he can troll the GOP convention using his father’s own words. Here’s an example: © FFRC The quote on the billboard really is from the Republican’s Saint Ronnie. The speech it comes from is even more explicit: We in the United States, above all, […]
If you have read this blog for a while, you know that I love a good rant, and I recently read one. Paul Kengor, who has spent most of his life researching Ronald Reagan, including writing six major books about him, finally got fed up with people comparing Donald Trump to Ronald Reagan. The rant […]
I guess no lie is too big if it compares Saint Ronnie Reagan favorably to Obama. And once again Jon Stewart proves that he is a better source of news than the worthless majority of our news media.
© Drew Sheneman Where is the old GOP when you need them? All we get now is monkey business.
© Ken Catalino It could be worse — they could be recycling Newt. UPDATE: The Onion has the best remembrance of Reagan for his birthday. UPDATE 2: Demystifying Reagan.
Today is Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday (they will even start the Super Bowl with a video tribute to the Gipper), so it is fitting to look back on his legacy. Is Reagan a true American hero, or was he simply the first actor to play the role of President in real life? I’m not sure, […]
To me, the point that this video actually makes is that the term “conservative” has lost its meaning. [Hat tip to Cliff Schecter at The Political Carnival] UPDATE: Newsweek has an excellent article about Reagan, the man and the myth, that tries to answer the question: What would Reagan really do?
I’m stealing this outright from Andrew Sullivan, because it precisely illustrates why there are very few Republicans I can take seriously anymore. Being against everything Obama does, does not good policy make. Reagan v. Today’s GOP (Part 2) “A nuclear-free world has been a 60-year dream of the Left, just like socialized health-care,” – Rudy Giuliani, […]
Ronald Reagan, speaking to the United Nations on June 19, 1982: I speak today as both a citizen of the United States and of the world. … My people have sent me here today to speak for them as citizens of the world, which they truly are, for we Americans are drawn from every nationality […]
According to Us Magazine, McCain has been using the same make-up artist who does American Idol, and he has been paying her $5,583.43 for each application. 23/6 figures for that much money, she should be able to make McCain look like this: The Huffington Post wonders if the same people who made fun of John […]
The same kinds of people (and even some the very same people, including Don Rumsfeld, Newt Gingrich and Pat Robertson) who are accusing Obama of being an appeaser because he is willing to talk to our enemies said the same thing about Ronald Reagan in the 80’s when Reagan was willing to negotiate with the […]
A post here earlier today pointed out the hypocrisy of Bush comparing Obama to Nazi appeasers because Obama is in favor of negotiating with (some of) our enemies. But it just keeps getting more bizarre. Today McCain (who is largely running on his foreign policy experience) defended Bush’s remarks and further claimed that the reason […]
