The Right Wing prick president who sold WMDs to Saddam in the 80s.
Wait, isn't that why we invaded Iraq?
Ronald Reagan is the perfect example of how corrupt our government has become.

Republican President (1980's) that ignored the AIDS epidemic because he hoped it would kill off all the people he didn't like. Reagan was anti-union, sexist, homophobic, incompetent, deceitful, and a corporate tool (even before being elected). Despite his popularity in the 1980's, most Americans have realized the damage he and his administration did to the country (including a deliberate attempt to destroy the middle class). Reagan suffered from Alzheimer's during his reign of terror. He is survived by his arrogant greedy wife Nancy (who abused the children she did not have with Ronald-from his previous marriage).
Ronald Reagan turned a blind eye and a cold shoulder to the AIDS epidemic.

A mediocre president elected in 1980 who is very over-rated, but is worshipped by many modern neocons
President Reagan shifted the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class, while dramatically increasing spending mostly for the military. At the same time he was busting unions and driving down wages for working class Americans. This of course created massive deficits. Reagan supported Saddam Hussein during the war between Iraq and Iran and supplied him with weapons including poison gas he used on the Kurds. Reagan should also be remembered for the Iran-Contra scandal.

Kind of like Satan worshippers, only more open and less into rituals. Seriously, there are members of the Republican Party that worship the second worst president ever! (after GW Bush) The republitards invoke his name in debates and even Bush43 said he wanted to be just like Reagan.
The Reagan Administration caused serious, long-term damage to this country--reagannomics, tripled debt, "star wars," union bashing, education cuts, pro-business/anti-worker policies and creating the Taliban to fight the Soviet Union in Afganistan! Yet Republicans still think he's great. WTF?!
The G.O.P. is full of Reagan worshippers, some of these sick fucks actually wanted to desecrate Mount Rushmore with a Reagan memorial! WTF?!! Now 20 years after the end of the Reagan era (but not the end of the negative impact), the Republitards in congress are talking about putting Reagan's picture on coins and/or paper money!

an INCREDIBLE political punk band formed in New York in the 1970's, by David "Insurgent" Rubinstein and Paul Bakija. They were Anarchist peace-punk whose songs often contained ironic and satirical messages regarding government and society. Reagan Youth broke up in the late 80's, after tension from touring and drug abuse... the break up was made official when Ronald Reagan left the White House. Thought they only released one album during the time they were a band, their influence on punk is undeniable.
in 1993 after many years of battling drug addiction and the sudden loss of his mother to a car accident and girlfriend to notorious serial killer Joel Rifkin, David Insurgent committed suicide.
Reagan Youth had a tremendious influence on punk rock.

From a hilarious scene in Family Guy.
Ronald Reagan: Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall, tear it down!
(Reagan starts punching the wall of a McDonald's)
Ronald Reagan: Reagan Smash! Reagan Smash!
Mcdonald's Employee #1: What's that?
Mcdonald's Employee #2: Oh it's just Reagan. Just leave him alone, he'll tire himself out.
(Reagan lies down on the sidewalk)
Ronald Reagan: Reagan sleepy ...

A term describing the faulty logic of Reaganomics. Also known as trickle down, the theory is that if you reduce income (i.e. cut taxes) then you somehow generate more revenue. Obviously, this is not rational thinking.
The proof that this did not work (as if anyone needed it) is the fact that the national debt tripled during the Reagan Administration.
Less is more? WTF? Reagan math is a bunch of bullshit!
