Just Like Old Times
In 1984, a drug-addled nuclear-freeze goob hissed at me, "Reagan is going to kill us all in a nuclear holocaust!" Glancing at his fellow protestors, I replied "Good."
Debate over. I won.
It's good to see that 20 years later, the Gipper (even in death!) has lost none of his ability to induce frothing-at-the-mouth seizures among leftists and other enemies of freedom.
Yesterday, the New York Times took a break from faking news stories to fire a few subtle, passive-aggressive editorial salvos at Reagan. The commie regime of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro declared it would've been better had Reagan never been born. Referring to Reagan's passing, boring and predictable political cartoonist Ted Rall wrote on his website yesterday, "I'm sure he's turning crispy brown right about now." (Interestingly, the link to this Rall "rant" no longer works.) Not to be outdone, kooky Libyan tyrant Colonel Moammar Gaddafi announced his regrets that Reagan died before standing trial for the ass-whoopin' administered to Libya by the United States Navy in 1986. (Judging from
this recent photograph, the only person who should stand trial in Libya is the pimp who picks out the Colonel's clothes.) And then, reliably, there are the Eurofucks at Reuters who asked yesterday if President Reagan was "in charge or simply a puppet, the master politician or a manipulated performer ..."
Immensely entertaining stuff.
And a very good indicator.
For it's a political rule-of-thumb that if you find yourself being harshly criticized by the New York Times, Moammar Gaddafi, Ted Rall, Reuters, and Darth Castro, then you must have done something right.
