HELL. NO.

They want to put him on money, carve his face on Mt. Rushmore, etc. Hell, why doesn’t the GOP just build a damn temple to him where folks like Norquist can go and worship Reagan like some vile pagan idol?

Ronald Reagan does not merit a single honor such as that given to our former presidents whose faces are on our currency. I can’t stand the fact that there’s an airport in Washington DC that was named for him. Efforts to deify Reagan must be fought at every opportunity and instead of the hagiography we should promote the truth about this traitor and war criminal so that future generations aren’t fooled by the slick propaganda that turns a crook into an angel.

Heck, let’s name the next new sewage treatment plant after him! That seems much more fitting to the Reagan “legacy” to me.

Why not Reagan on the penny? It seems more fitting since both are obsolete!

Norquist probably jerks off to pictures of Ronald Reagan.

My suggestion: put his face on a special limited-edition three dollar bill. The only problem with commemorating President Reagan with issuance of a $3 bill is that the money would actually be worth something.

Maybe a more appropriate place to place that wrinkled visage would be on a $50 U.S. Savings Bond. Those bonds have always been a classic consumer fraud, paying interest rates that are pegged at below the rate of inflation and leaving the “investors” poorer at maturity than they started out. The irony is even better because the bonds deteriorate in value faster the bigger the deficit, as the underlying currency declines in value and as the interest rate on other investments is driven higher.

‘The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, the brainchild of Grover Norquist and his Americans for Tax Reform, is waging a relentless campaign to memorialise its hero. Getting the capital’s National Airport renamed after him was only the start.

It is now in the process of creating a Reagan memorial in each of the country’s 3,067 counties (successes so far include a six-foot-tall portrait made entirelyly from 14,000 jelly beans).’

I work in my county seat. If this piece of shit ever arrived here, I would tear it down the next day.

jimijazz Says:

Grover Norquist should be in jail along with Ton DeLay for their collusion with Jack Abramoff for the K Street bribery and money laundering scandal that still has yet to be fully disclosed. The corporate media trying to re-establish and re-legitimise Grover Norquist in the public eye is laughable and one more example of corporate propaganda at it’s most extreme.

DAMN THAT LIBRUL MEDIA!!!!

I RAYGUN’s face ever appears ON ANY bill, I will spray each one with E.coli and start a huge panic, so that they are all recalled. FCUK HIM, Dig IT up, hang IT, then decapitate IT like AIO above, Stick his stupid fuxing Max Headroom head on a PIKE for all to spit on.

And to the FuXing troll here, IF the Americans actually voted for the dolt, it was BEFORE the full scope of his TREASON had been dsicovered. The point brought before you was for you to PROVE that people still LOVE HIM, as your sychophantic GO-Over Nerdtwist tries to make people believe and you claim.

It is amazing that the media finds the time to dig up these criminals and waste the bandwidth . . .

What about offering to put Reagan on the penny ? I figure that is about the right value for him.

Reagan? On the $10? That’s silly. So OK, Reagan was a hugely popular president. He was absolutely horrid on several issues, but let’s ignore that, fine. Putting him on money, though? At least he should go on the $20. Andrew Jackson doesn’t deserve to have his face printed even on toilet paper, much less money (and the fact that he was completely opposed to the National Bank, while making his face’s placement on money ironic, doesn’t add enough irony to merit such an honor). The man was a genocidal maniac. Reagan may have paid for death squads, but I don’t think that’s as bad as the Trail of Tears.

I forgot to list this classic Ray-gun line;

trees pollute the air more than factories

I guess that’s why he made James Watt Interior Secretary, to clear-cut every forest they can.

crippledick; you have NOT proven Ray-gun is a beloved prez, but then, some loyal diehards still admire Hitler too.

Ronnie quotes:

The Contras are the moral equivalents of our founding fathers.
Our founding fathers killed priests for saying ‘the meek shall inherit the earth? or raped/murdered nuns?

Is it news that some guy in South Succotash lost his job?
the origin of ‘compassionate conservatism’

I have outlawed Russia, we begin bombing in 5 minutes
warmongering fool- the original neocon

Ketchup is a vegetable
as applied to school lunch programs for poor kids

I could go on and on and on…….

Reagan should have been rotting in prsion, not venerated on the $10 bill.

Maybe we could just work with one of those private “mints” to make a commemorative $1 coin for him. The coin manufacturing process fits Reagan quite well: put a really shiny coating over a relatively worthless core.

When we drain the treasury with the rest of the guvment that Norquist wishes to go down the toilet, let private enterprise stick The Great Napper on the plug nickel, the White House basement for the tail side.

Okay, let me think about this for a minute.

Time’s up. No. But thanks for asking, Grover.
