Weepy Reagan Tribute-Free Zone - Barf Alert!

I spent 20 years in the Navy, and I saw the effect that President Reagan's defense policies had on the pride and morale of myself and my fellow sailors. He totally destroyed the "we lost Vietnam" mentality and restored honor to America's mighty military.

I've been having these wicked 1980s flashbacks.

I've heard LSD will do that to a person.

Isn't great that no matter how many times these mutts get another chance to "get it", they close their eyes and tell us we can't see straight?
Long may the evil donkey and his little helpers in the ratmedia be self blinded!

These same people had no problem at all with weeks of over-coverge and adoration of JFK Jr., who died at 40 with no other accomplishment than being the handsome son of a Prez who served only 1,000 days. And the amazing year of non-stop tributes to Diana, lovely and young at death but certainly not a world leader beyond her token charities. I was ready to scream at the sainthood they attributed to both of these people, but liberals seemed to enjoy every moment. Now with true greatness and leadership and longevity being honored, they want it all over in a day or two, max.

Exactly. And why is the media whining about having to do all the coverage? They're peeved because they don't get to do their usual overkill on their favorite subjects, like All-Abu-All-the-Time, or their minute-by-minute updates on the Scott Peterson trial. What a joke it is that the media complains about too much Reagan coverage, when they have made Laci Peterson's death such a big story.
