Description
Today would have been President Ronald Reagan's 100th Birthday.He left us on June 5, 2004.
For those who never knew Mr. Reagan here are a few quotes...
For the love of his country...
"Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit."
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have."
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."
He was a leader of men,but he never took himself too serious, joking about his age...
"Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying."
"I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting."
On American Exceptionalism...
"There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder."
"If you're afraid of the future, then get out of the way, stand aside. The people of this country are ready to move again."
and lastly...
"Don't be afraid to see what you see."
Happy 100th Birthday Mr President.
Thanks for looking

In my country we have a word for people like Reagan; Terrorist.
This man and his administration made illegal deals with Iran and sold weapons to the Iranian Islamic extremists, The Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, and then allowed the US intelligence agencies (oxymoron right there) to fund the Nicaraguan Contras using the money made from the illegal deals with Iran.
You people still worship this guy?
This is why I’m glad my country isn’t part of NATO.

Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder, kiddo.
So I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree, Cupcake...
Maybe you should take less time to bitch and use it to make some art...

Chip on my sholder? What? I point out that your hero is a monster and your response is "sounds like you have a chip on your sholder" what?
"should take less time to bitch" - Bitch? The man you worship funded a group of murderous rebels who targeting health care clinics and health care workers for assassination, executing civilians, including children, who were captured in combat, tortured and kidnapped people and murdered people in the thousands. That's bitching to you? Fuck, no wonder your country is circling the drain.

Now, now Cupcake. Language... No F-bombs... There may be smalls looking at my stuff. You don't want them to pick up bad habits, do you?
Yep, we are circling, but if that's what's ordained there's not much I can do about it, but stand my ground until God calls me home.
You're a lot of fun Cupcake, But remember. This is my page. You came here, no one forced you to look at my stuff.
I have a feeling that now you're looking for reasons to attack me which means You're starting to approach 'Troll Status'. If that happens my dA and FB friends will miss you.... LOL

Wait, so, dragonpyper, instead of responding with a proper argument, you make a bunch of flippant rhetorical statements and call your opponent a troll? Nice.

Ah! another "Cupcake".

"This is my page. You came here, no one forced you to look at my stuff" - Wow, what an amazing response. "Hey, you know that guy you like is a war criminal" "NOONE FORCED YOU TO LOOK AT A PICTURE AT IT". Wow, amazing.
Lol, Im a troll? You're a country of people who celebrate and love a war criminal. I think your whole country may be trolling the entire world and you're just not in on the joke. In my country you M'ericans loving Reagan is a chuckle at your expense.
Like I said. Reagan gave antitank missiles to Islamic extreminists and then gave money to a group of Nicaraguan rebels who murdered thousands.
This guy you celebrate and love is a terrorist. That's not trolling. That's reality.

No, but constantly posting on my page to argue is Trolling.
I'm going to miss you Cupcake, but let me leave you with some words of wisdom. They may help you with your Misanthropy.
"Throughout life, people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad.
Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too."
Nighty Nite Sweetie.
Love you.
Hugs and Kisses.
XOXOXOXO

My father said that Mr. Reagan knows how to deliver good speeches.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He was known as "The Great Communicator" because of that.
He had good speech writers ( all modern presidents do) that he worked closely with to get his message across.
