Nothing says one is an out-of-touch Republican fascist like clamoring for this awful human being's name and sneering face to be on everything we have to look at and hear about.
Well, thanks to Reagan's legacy, which is to blame for the current financial toilet bidet in which our economy finds itself, I am not at risk of even seeing $50 bills, but I digress.
Most Americans Don't Want Reagan On $50 Bill
The proposal, by Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry, is opposed by 79% of Americans, including 71% of Republicans, according to a Marist Poll. Not only that, but it turns out that there are some very vocal Grant fans out there, and they're not about to let Reagan take over from the Civil War hero. According to the Washington Post:
Republicans play odd games: "I can suck up to Reagan more than you can" is the name of this game.
In it you try to think of as many places and things in which the First Braindead president's face or name can be attached.
They got an airport named after him. There's a road in Gwinnett county, Georgia named after him: I try to never drive on it - when I do, I speed.
They wanted to put him on the dime, to replace Roosevelt. That was spurred on by a real asshole named Mark Souder, the same asshole who gave American students college prohibition by writing a law that forbids college loans to anybody with even the most minor drugs - usually marijuana, of course - offenses.
Souder's bill is but another effort of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project – a campaign aimed at naming (or renaming) public landmarks “in the 50 states and over 3,000 counties of the United States , as well as in formerly communist countries across the world” in Reagan's honor. To date, Legacy has succeeded in attaching Reagan's name to Washington 's National airport, the former Mount Clay in New Hampshire , a commemorative stamp series in Grenada , and a ballistic missile test site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands .
Legacy initially proposed putting Reagan on the ten-dollar bill, but its turn to the dime is no accident or discount. Conservatives have long resented the affirmative federal state erected by the New Deal. “See the picture on those new dimes?” as one automobile executive complained when the Roosevelt dime was introduced in the 1940s, “It's our new destroyer . . . He was the beginner [sic] of our downhill slide. Boy what he did to this country. I don't think we'll ever get over it. Terrible.”
Basically, anybody who wants to attach Reagan's face or name to something, other than a landfill or sewage treatment plant, is telling you they don't care about your future, and may be working day and night against your success and that of your family and loved ones.
None of them are good or decent people.
I am happy they are losers, out of touch with real America.
