Feburary 6 is now Ronald Reagan Day in California

[Vervaria]

He raised national drinking age to 21?

Fuck him.

So much for small government.

Read:

Its ironic that Reagan is the poster boy for free market activity and minimized government when Reagan drastically expanded the government

But expanding the government is cool with right-wingers so long as it benefits our corporate overlords.

You should leave sarcasm to people who, you know, can actually do it.

Don't you have other threads to leave snide meaningless statements in?

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:

How do we allow this? Our worst president shouldn't have his own holiday. FD-fucking-R doesn't even have his own holiday, and he was the best!

FDR was by far the worst. By far. Ironically, both the left and the right regard him as a top 3 president (top 2 in the left's case).

How? I seriously want to know how!

How what? How is FDR by far the worst? Ok, maybe not the worst, by far, but one of the worst.

Expanded the Federal government to unprecedented levels. Created the New Deal. Expanded economic regulation. Exacerbated and prolonged the Great Depression. Locked up German, Italian and Japanese Americans in internment camps. That's just a brief summary.

So creating thousands of jobs and doing his best to prevent another depression is 'exacerbating an prolonging the Great Depression'?

And everybody used internment camps. They weren't exactly Butlins, but they weren't as bad as Dachau for God's sake.

Seriously? The unemployment rate averaged 20% in the 30s. The government cannot create jobs without destroying other, more productive jobs.

Other more productive jobs such as sitting around all day doing nothing or queueing outside a factory for hours before having to g oto a soup kitchen because you weren't picked from the crowd that day?


It fell after FDR began his programs, and the spike in '37 was when he tried to roll them back a little to save money.
He re-expanded them and it fell again.

If he was a contemporary president it would've been more like "yeah, I know we got a shit economy but give me 15 or so years and a World War...aagh! My face! Get off my fa-."

He also increased regulation and taxes in 1937 while trying to balance the budget. Convenient of you to leave that out.

Apologies, error.

But they both had an effect, and schemes like the CCC provided millions of unemployed food and a bed, and I can't see how that's a bad thing.

Because of the government! Boogie boogie boogie!

Hey, just wait a minute. FDR inherited a 20% unemployment rate and brought the country out of the great depression. And guess what else: we got out of the great depression from a Government Mandated Stimulus.

I have a better idea. Make the day he left the office of president a national holiday, and celebrate by burning him in effigy. He was one of the worst presidents ever.

This is a rhetorical question right? lol I think it's safe to say that he knows about as much about communism as I do quantum physics.(Not at all)

I'm sick and tired fo you left-wing who use "Orwell" as nick or hero when he was a fervent libertarian who wrote "1984" to allert the world of the danger of left-wing politics

Woah, cool it. I like Reagan too, but I won't explode if people say they don't Reagan. Your racist terminology can not be tolerated in a place like Nationstates, save it for real life if you honestly believe in those words. Obama in my opinion isn't a good president either, but I wouldn't make remarks like that threatening him and his family. You might wanna check the rules before posting things like that in a forum.

You do realize in Communism everyone gets a job? People wouldn't have to work harder to squeeze some more money out of their bosses (Which wouldn't exist anyway).

Ah, taking one from the Mel Gibson playbook... I see he is considered a philosopher king amongst your backwoods redneck ideology.

Karl Marx I just saw the mistake

[Mediterreania]

I'm half Iranian, and I really don't like Reagan. He:

• Armed both sides, prolonging the war
• Gave Saddam his chemical and biological weapons
• Turned a blind eye to the SCUDs being used against civilians and gas against the Kurds
• Used the money from his arms sales to fund the Contras' war crimes

And I'm sure it's aperfectly innocent coincidence that the embassy hostages were released right after Reagan took office....

Actually, the same day he took office, it was Carter who negotiated the release.

Sibirsky believes FDR prolonged the Depression as part of his evil socialist plot due to well-intentioned but fundamentally flawed policies.

Fixed for accuracy. Not that I necessarily agree with Сибирский, but at least you should try to demonstrate his position accurately.
