Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House to promote alternative energy and one Reagan's first actions as president was to take them down because he didn't understand how they worked.

i think the reason given was that they cost more money to maintain than they saved but the point is while they were symbolic of being pro-renewable energy under carter, removing them was symbolic of cutting unnecessary waste under reagan. with that said, reagan's corpse can lick my cummy rear end in a top hat

Anything pro-renewable energy was considered unnecessary waste under Reagan though. I mean why plan ahead for the future at all?

it's fun to watch people denounce Reagan because they'll also cling desperately to any sort of mental gymnastics to prop up someone like Stalin who was a far worse leader.

remember when john wayne sent him a letter and was all "god drat it stop making poo poo up about the panama canal!" lol

quote:

''Now I have taken your letter, and I'll show you point by goddamn point in the treaty where you are misinforming people,'' Mr. Wayne told Mr. Reagan. ''If you continue these erroneous remarks, someone will publicize your letter to prove that you are not as thorough in your reviewing of this treaty as you say or are damned obtuse when it comes to reading the English language.''

Reagan tripled the debt and was very anti-union and a lot of good people lost their jobs because of him.

But we should name something in every state after him because reasons!

Or denounce Reagan over interventionist foreign policy moves and the resulting deaths while ignoring that little skirmish Kennedy/LBJ started in Vietnam.

I wonder if Reagan and George W. Bush combined could be blamed for even 1/4 the number of deaths as Kennedy/LBJ.

The Saint Reagan myth is stupid redneck bull poo poo, but not nearly as stupid as thinking he's a worse President than guys responsible for more death and destruction abroad and less improvement for the plight of the working poor at home just because he had an (R) behind his name and they had (D)s.

He just a guy, better than some, worse than others. People who think he belongs on Rushmore or belongs in hell are idiots.
