June 9, 200422 yr Comparing Reagan to Hitler is moronic, and Flying Mollusk is smarter than that. FishFan's wish for a ban and his belief that the two of them suck is also protected by the 1st Amendment. God Bless America.

I thought this country was about expressing your opinions through Freedom of Speech... I guess that's gone too... Under the Constitution of the United States of America, as RippyO well said, I also have the right to say that these two "individuals" suck, and that their views on Reagan are erroenous. You don't have to be smart to know that Ronald Reagan has been one of the best presidents of our time. If we allow partisanship to pollute our minds, then our reasoning will forever be compromised and any kind of civilized discussion will be extinguished.
June 9, 200422 yr oh god know, what's next, a Hitler dollar bill. Reagan sucked, I would pass. A Yankee fan and a Lib! Two things I loathe the most... :banghead
June 9, 200422 yr Comparing Reagan to Hitler is moronic, and Flying Mollusk is smarter than that. FishFan's wish for a ban and his belief that the two of them suck is also protected by the 1st Amendment. God Bless America. Youre right in that Reagan isnt even close to Hitler. But I agree with Sorianofan in that I dont think he was a good president. There are a lot of people in this country that dont put Reagan in the same sentence as Lincoln and Washington. But they are being respectful in this time of mourning. That shouldnt be taken advantage of to immortalize someone one currency just because he fit well with a particular political philosphy. In that same line of thinking, I also think JFK shouldnt be on currency and is so out of the same reaction that is currently going on, albeit more tragically.
June 9, 200422 yr reagon may not belong alongside washington and lincoln, but he doesnt belong with hitler either cmon, how retarded is it to say reagon = hitler?
June 9, 200422 yr Under the Constitution of the United States of America, as RippyO well said, I also have the right to say that these two "individuals" suck, and that their views on Reagan are erroenous. You have the right to say we are wrong but when you effectuate your ideas into actions, youve crossed the line. To suggest that we should be banned for something we say implies that you think people should be banned for that which they say. It necessarily follows that if you are given the power to make this happen, you would. Hence you would be encroaching on our 1st amendment right. You don't have to be smart to know that Ronald Reagan has been one of the best presidents of our time. I excercise my first amendment right and say you are wrong. But you shouldnt be banned for saying it.
June 9, 200422 yr Author reagan may not be along washington or lincoln, but he defeated our greatest foe for over 50 years: the Soviet Union. This man made history, he achieved what others before him dreamt of, and he's responsible for the liberty and freedom that millions in Latin America enjoy. As a son and a grandson of Cuban exiles, I can only tell you how much I admire this guy. He's a hero, he defeated the evil of the time: communism. Leaders that are honored in our currency do so because they did something for the entire country, for its constituents, for its people. I agree when others say that Reagan shouldn't get a bill because of his conservative agenda, but this guy went beyond partisan boundaries. He unified America, he gave the people something to believe in, and he therefore deserves to be remembered as one of the best.
June 9, 200422 yr on a completely unrelated subject... when is Puerto Rico going to stop leeching off teh united states?
June 9, 200422 yr liberty and freedom that millions in Latin America enjoy That has to be the funniest thing I've ever read...
June 9, 200422 yr Take Grant off the $50, and put Reagan there. Hamilton deserves his bill. He was an extremely important figure in the early years of this country. Grant was a good general, but he was also a drunk and a really bad president. He should go.

Grant was a good general, but he was also a drunk and a really bad president. He should go. True, he wasn't a good president. I agree. Reagan's face should be on the $50 if it were to go on any bill.
June 9, 200422 yr liberty and freedom that millions in Latin America enjoy That has to be the funniest thing I've ever read... i was thinkign the same thing.... but i am going to wait till at least saturday to comment on just how funny that statement is.
June 9, 200422 yr Well, as for Latin America, that was a bunch of botched bullcrap, but the Sandinistas et al weren't going to turn things into a paradise. Communism in Latin America was becoming a serious concern, and I think Reagan wasn't 100% wrong in uhh....choosing a side.
June 9, 200422 yr Author liberty and freedom that millions in Latin America enjoy That has to be the funniest thing I've ever read... why??? I don't find it funny. When you or your relatives live through communism, you'll f***ing understand, ok?
June 9, 200422 yr Author on a completely unrelated subject... when is Puerto Rico going to stop leeching off teh united states? Das....make the forum, I'll be more than happy to reply.

When you or your relatives live through communism, you'll f***ing understand, ok? not all of latin america was communist. I know, you think I'm stupid or something??? The truth is that Reagan supported an array of groups that fought communism, and allowed several Latin American countries to continue in a path towards democracy, freedom and "prosperity".

When you or your relatives live through communism, you'll f***ing understand, ok? And Latin America is doing fine... right? "Millions enjoying freedom"... right? The only country I can think of in Latin America with a stable working economy is Chile... name another one...

Chile was doing really well until we nearly screwed that up. chile was doing well because of pinochet saved the country from communism. The other countries are f***ed up because of a lot of reasons, but things down there could've been even worse if communism would've taken hold in those countries.
June 9, 200422 yr The other countries are f***ed up because of a lot of reasons, but things down there could've been even worse if communism would've taken hold in those countries. I have to agree with that...

Yeah, Allende was WONDERFUL for Chile. I don't approve of Kissinger/Pinochet, but it was pretty much between a rock and a hard place, you know? Latin America w/o Reagan's intervention would, I believe, have been much worse than what actually happened. Communism is like the reverse King Midas: everything it touches turns to s***.
