CALIFORNIA- February 6th, 2011 will mark the late President Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday and now it will be an official day to remember in California.
Former First Lady Nancy Reagan joined California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Simi Valley today for a ceremonial signing of a bill making February 6th “Ronald Reagan Day.“
The 89-year-old former first lady was balancing on a cane and the governor’s arm as she walked into the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
She smiled as Schwarzenegger signed a pair of bills one marking the yearly celebration of Reagan’s birthday in California and the other establishing a commission to plan Reagan centennial events.
Schwarzenegger told the audience, “Ronald Reagan is my hero.“

Let's celebrate...by putting these up in every visible corner of America:

[Hassett]

Should be a national holiday.

[Chrobalta]

Not that he remembers it.

[Farnhamia]

Should be a national holiday.

We could watch his movies and recite memorable lines, kids could dress up like Bonzo or the Gipper, exchange gifts of jelly beans and ketchup. I like it! I shall write my elected representatives forthwith.

What an idiotic suggestion.

Ronald Reagan should be the fifth face on Mount Rushmore. Ronald Reagan today is a better President than the Kenyan Moslem can ever dream of being.

Meanwhile, those who would post such asinine posters aren't fit to shine Reagan's shoes, and will be forgotten the day they die, if anyone knows who they are now.

[EvilDarkMagicians]

He raised national drinking age to 21?

Fuck him.

[Vetalia]

Yeah, but he also presided over one of the biggest economic expansions in US history and helped lay the foundation for the 1990's boom that would drive poverty and homelessness to their lowest rates ever. And, of course, that trade deficit stuff is complete nonsense...Reagan had no more to do with that than he did the destruction of the American auto industry. At the time too many of our manufacturers made shitty products and consequently lost hard to those who made superior products at better prices, although as always there were extraneous factors that affected this economic shift.

And, in regards to the USSR...he didn't raise spending to counter imaginary Soviet spending, he raised ours to match theirs. The Soviets had been outspending us on their armed forces since the end of the Vietnam war and were superior in both quality and quantity when he entered office; although it was unlikely they'd consider a war against us, it was crucial to our interests to bring about the end of the Soviet empire as quickly as possible and a new arms race would help achieve that end. Reagan's arms buildup did play a role, albeit not the decisive one (not that there was one anyways) in straining the Soviet system and bringing about the end of the Cold War, while his deregulation policies that produced the oil bust guaranteed two decades of inexpensive oil which dampened inflation and helped drive economic development around the world.

Reagan's legacy is a difficult one to assess because of the sheer number of converging factors in our nation at that point. For better or for worse, he laid the foundations for many of the issues that have characterized our country's political and economic climates over the past 30 years. He certainly had his flaws, but there are plenty of other presidents who possessed their own which were as bad or even worse than his.

[Tsa-la-gi Nation]

Let's all honor his memory by forgeting the new holiday ever existed....

or we could stab an air traffic controller in the back ever feb 6th. that would also work!

[Ifreann]

He raised national drinking age to 21?

Fuck him.

Seconded.

[Neu Leonstein]

Yeah, not a fan of his, but the economics part of that poster is silly.

[Buffett and Colbert]

Ronald Reagan should be the fifth face on Mount Rushmore. Ronald Reagan today is a better President than the Kenyan Moslem can ever dream of being.

I'd rather have a Kenyan Muslim than a Russian Jew. Because that's what Reagan was, obviously.

[East Fancainia]

He raised national drinking age to 21?

Fuck him.

^This

[Buffett and Colbert]

He raised national drinking age to 21?

Fuck him.

Seconded.

But he wasn't able to get Puerto Rico!

Take that, fuckers!

[Allrule]

You know what? Arnie and Pelosi can take Ronald Reagan Day and shove it where the sun don't shine.
This stinks of idol worship, plain and simple.

On Soviet arms spending? Source, please.

[Lackadaisical2]

Half of those were good things.

Anyway, the right should drop Reagan, too much deficit spending.

Take that, fuckers!

[The Voltania]

Fuck Reagan. One of the worst Presidents we ever had.

[Greater Eridanus]

Why anyone thinks Ronald Reagan was a decent president is beyond me.

I'm glad he's dead, personally, despite the fact the the neo-cons have had a chance to deify him.

[Mushet]

Fuck Reagan. One of the worst Presidents we ever had.

Seconded
