My mother died from Alzhiemers Disease but

[Breeze54]

I still celebrated when President (I can't recall!) Reagan died!

It wasn't that he died from Alzhiemers. That's a tough thing for the family to go through.

It was that another asshole rethug, who screwed over the American people and people of the world, was finally dead!!

[Skittles]

1. well I did not celebrate per se

but I hear where you are coming from - I could not drum up symapthy for that evil piece of shit and apparently a lot of DUers believe that was the same as DANCING ON HIS GRAVE

[Breeze54]

3. Yeah, anytime any of those

hypocritical asshole right wing nutjobs dies from any disease and anybody isn't sympathetic?

We're Dancing on their Grave! :eyes:

Well; hell yeah!

Just as they screwed and mislead the American and world public over time and time again!

I'm really sick of the BS :cry: when it's the physical disease they died from that's the focus.

They were a disease on the American public and the world while they lived!! :grr:

I have no sympathy for them at all.

4. I hear that!

They were a pox on society!

[Spangle]

11. Wow, I think so differently then you

I didn't like him.

But so long as a person is in the Office of President, I would be upset if something happen to them. I respect the office. I would be pissed that someone 'got to him". It would be a disgrace to all of us, if someone 'got him.'

Also, when someone dies in office, a major deal is made out of it. They get a nice place in history. Full of alot of 'what if's'. Wouldn't want that to happen either.

After they are out of office, it's no longer a "National" thing. It's no longer THE President.

So I'm glad he lived through the event.

In the end, he most likelly wished he didn't. He ended up living in hell on earth for years.

[Breeze54]

13. He had Alzhiemers while IN OFFICE!!

You should read up on the facts!

[Spangle]

17. What does your comments have to do with my post

Where you responding to me or someone else?

Just in case you were responding to my post. It sounds like your saying that because he had Alzhiemers while in office, then it would be "ok" for someone to shoot him and that it wouldn't be considered a "National" event and the GOP wouldn't have used it as far as they could...

To me that would be so un-republican like. I believe they would have rode it for all it was worth. And there are alot of people out there that don't care what party the President is, but that he/she would be considered THE (theirs) President and would have been offended and 'felt' America was attacked.

Wither or not he had Alzhiemers is mute, when it comes to how people would feel or respond to him being shot/killed while President. All that would matter would be that he was the President at that time in history.

15. The ruination of America began under Reagan

His Karma was a bitch.

[JANdad]

5. Not that I disagree...

But what prompted this rant?

Sorry 'bout your mom btw...

[Breeze54]

6. A similar

post.

Thanks for the sympathy but that happened a few years ago
and I wasn't looking for sympathy. (Just so you know) ;)

[Lint Head]

7. Some Democrats lie and I as a Democrat will call them out as

liars. That being said, you don't have to lie to be a Democrats lie but you have to lie to be a Republican. If you agree with anything the criminals in the White House have said you are supporting liars and agree with lies. :dem:

8. My Father did as well.

But I didn't feel the same as you did about Reagan's death.

I didn't like Reagan or his people. Since I really knew what it ment to have Alzhiemers, I knew what him and his family was going through. Hmmm.... That is more punishment then death. It's hell on earth. His death was a release for him and his family, friends, etc.

What I always wanted to know, was when did he first show signs. I know my Mother covered for my Father for a long time. That happens in alot of familys where this happens. People don't admit or refuse to see what is going on. But when it's the President, that is a criminal offense. The early stages, he would be 'right' most of the time and could have handled things. Which would give them impression that everything was ok and think people are doing the right thing by covering for them. But at some point, the person doing to covering is running the Office Of President.... Making choices and decissions that they were not elected to do... And the person who is responsible would be conviently not able to remember or be held liable because of their condition. I've ALWAYS had issues with that.

[Breeze54]

9. I knew what it was like to care for someone with Alzhiemers Disease for 17 years!

The patient doesn't or isn't 'aware' of what is going on, after the first stages but the family sure is

and as far as Reagan? It was debated and questioned a lot, while he was in office, if he was impaired.

"But at some point, the person doing the covering is running the Office Of President...."

Agreed. Pretty damn scary and I suspect that's exactly what happened with Reagan!

But the point of my post isn't actually Reagan or Alzheimers Disease.

The point is that it isn't the disease that should be the focus when one of these criminals dies,

it's how they lived their lives and hurt the people of the world by their policies and decisions!

I.E. Tammy Faye (fake)

[Spangle]

18. Yes, that is a good point to make

Could it be that after death, people tend to discuss things in a more helpful way for the family. Take Tammy Faye, I'm sure her family doesn't want to hear discussions of 'that time'. And much rather focus on the cancer, etc. So the DEATH means something. Like Reagan and Alzheimers. Feel pity for Reagan and his family for having to deal with "that".

I think it's all the 'here and now' stuff. History will not focus on it. They will cover what made the person famous in the first place.

Reagan now, the disease doesn't excuse anything. Tho many want it to do so. All those around, they had to cover. That makes them the guilty and the 'why' they want it covered. In his case, it will be in the history books.

10. well I celebrated when he died

but not for the reason you did. I was glad that the suffering was over with for him and Nancy and the rest of the family. That truly was a living hell for his family. As for he himself, he had not a clue as to :wtf: was going on in the end.

How very sad.

I do not speak ill of the dead. It generates very bad karma.

Admittedly, I had some strong feelings towards Reagan and many of the things he did but I did not wish him ill.

:dem:

[Breeze54]

12. BS!

If you don't "speak ill of the dead" then you must not have
any opinions about any tyrants and idiots throughout history.

Correct?

Reagan was an asshole and I'm glad he's gone!! Same for Nixon and a whole bunch of others.

[CountAllVotes]

16. bash when alive, not dead!

What good does it do to speak ill of the dead?

NONE. The person is dead and they take their history with them which lives on forever in the history books. As I said, I was no fan of RR but I certainly did not hate him.

It was sad, plain sad. I like his son RR, Jr. and I do feel sorry for his wife Nancy.

[soothsayer]

19. actually, history books get rewritten all the time

[Breeze54]

14. Speak not bad of nosebleeds!!

Attila the Hun died of a nosebleed on his wedding night. :cry:
