87. DISGUSTING! I want to see this juxtaposed with Ronald Reagan's "Shining City on a Hill" everywhere
Wed Jun 26, 2019, 08:07 PM
Jun 2019

Believe me, I'm no fan of Ronald Raygun. Believe he is a key part of the decline of American everything. But, taken from Wikipedia, these are some of the things he said. And the same aholes who dig the current administration generally dig what he had to say.

And believe me, I know they don't have the strongest cerebral cortex going, but how do you reconcile these words with that damn image!!!

From Wikipedia:

"As Ronald Reagan emphasized, America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere."[1]

And, "As Ronald Reagan said in his farewell address to the nation, 'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.
