Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.
When we show up, we win.
Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.
When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.
They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.
The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.
Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Count me among those who could never work up a strong case of idol worship or the warm fuzzies in response to Reagan’s politics or presidential leadership. But that was about politics and public policy, not personal enmity.
Unless you’d just rather present examples of mean-spiritedness at its most calloused and thoughtless as somehow being representative of everyone on the left, you could stop by the Oh!pinion weblog:
http://weblog.ohpinion.com
to read “And now, it’s mourning in America.”
One last thought: Mean-spiritedness, callousness, vindictiveness are very much equal opportunity failings, with people all over the political spectrum saying and writing hurtful and regrettable things. After all those years of so many people on the right circulating so many lies and distortions — really vile, outlandish and hurtful things — about Bill and Hillary Clinton, that should be obvious.
And please, spare me the “two wrongs don’t make a right” come-backs. Nothing I’ve written in any way excuses the meanness some few are displaying about Reagan. I, too, think that’s wrong and uncalled for.

On the issue of human rights, Reagan demoralized the Soviets.
Unfortunately, thanks to Abu Ghraib, the US can no longer contend on that very effective front anymore.
