Former first lady Nancy Reagan dies at 94

Cold and calculating, maybe, but I think more protective and loving, as a president's wife should be. She should be be respected for all that, and anyone who chooses to put her down should be shunned. He had glory, she had guts.

Expect to hear Rubio will tell new lies that he was her friend.

May the promise of a cure be realized, and soon. No one should have to go through this horror.

I will roll around in yours and anyone else's shunning then. She and her husband's administration was nothing but thuggery and drug dealing. If you don't think so, just ask anyone in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the inner cities of the United States. Ronald went on a rampage throughout those regions overthrowing whom ever he wished plundering and pillaging resources all along the way. He sold drugs to finance guerrillas and put his wife in front of the camera to propagate the slogan: just say no. All of this he did under the guise of combating communism, which was actually never a threat to the U.S.; that was just a scare tactic propagated by the U.S. side of the Cold War; the U.S. was more concerned with thwarting democracy and asserting its own dominance; the Reagans were central to that operation. They spearheaded the demonization of blacks in the inner cities of America by demonizing crack cocaine over other hard drugs even though he was all the while dumping crack into the inner cities to fund his adventures in the Caribbean and Latin America. Just ask Freeway Rick. ( He's a black ex-crack dealer and felon from South Central L.A. So you probably won't think of him as credible and you probably won't take his word for it. )

The only people who revere the Reagans are rich, elitist, conservative whites; a.k.a., the establishment. They loved his trickle down economics that gave tax cuts to the rich and turned a blind eye to the avaricious actions of corporations while at the same time sucking the inner cities dry and shutting down their factories one after another. Nothing but unemployment and poverty amongst the working class, and his solution: crack and school cuts.

But he was a good actor. He gave an Oscar performance that cold, grey, and dreary day when he beseeched Mr. Gorbachev to "please tear down this wall." And the powers that were and be all rose and gave a standing ovation. And because of this one speech act, and the fact that the Soviet Union soon afterward did crumble, along with the Berlin Wall, his true legacy is willfully swept under the carpet.

And his loving, faithful, and supporting wife's face was the emblem of the whole sham. She kept Americans's blissfully ignorant.

So I will revel in your shunning me. Your suggestion, however, is a standard technique of conservative politic by suggesting that anyone who doesn't stand and salute these criminals isn't a true American. It's the same as "support the troops " and if you don't and you don't support America's imperialist wars then that means you're also not a patriot. All very sick if you ask me.

Rest in Peace, Nancy. You will be missed and already have been missed. You shall live on forever with Ronnie.

I am fully aware and was expecting that looney liberals would come on here and rant about a woman and president that did a lot for America and the world and I don't expect progressives to understand it because most socialists wouldn't. But compared to what we have now, Obama cold never achieve or accomplish what Reagan did and before you libs get smart, I'm talking about the positives which greatly outweigh the negatives, at least Nancy brought back honor dignity and decorum back to the White House and made it a place of respect after Carter left. No president is without their share of faults, but most of these men wouldn't have risen up to the level of presidency had it not been for the strong support of their wives and Nancy was no exception, but then again, ask any political historian and you would know what a highly influential and caring woman she was.

No, mostly progressive and Kool aid drinkers do. Oh, and even if the rich do, what's wrong with that? The rich love Obama, but many of the poor and Blacks don't. So what gives?

Moderator: Please repost without the expressions "looney liberals" and "Kool aid drinkers" which are meaningless.

Look up the word "graceful" in the dictionary. You'll see her picture. One heck of a person. Tough as nails. A breast cancer survivor. Devoted to her "Ronnie". Their relationship reminds me of President Carter and Roslyn. Rest in peace, Mrs. Reagan.

Wow, she's certainly lived quite a long life. 94 is no easy feat in spite of her health problems.

RIP Grand Lady of the world.

Good Riddance

Too Short (Bay area Rapper) dogged Nancy Reagan in one of his "rap songs."

The world remembers Nancy Reagan. The world will not remember Black "thugs" and their poisonous lyrics.
