... in many Rethug's minds, the Reagan years were their GOP "golden years." It's escapism nostalgia.

They fondly remember the Gipper and "tear down that wall." I remember crack cocaine infesting America's inner cities, I remember the shameful AND ILLEGAL Central American wars. I remember AIDS and the thousands and thousands of needless deaths.

I fucking hated Raygun, his era and everything they stood for. Before I die I hope to be able to make a pilgrimage to his grave... so I can piss on it.
