Former President Ronald Reagan’s oldest son on Monday compared liberals to termites who are “eating away at the foundations” of America.
Appearing a campaign event for Newt Gingrich in Florida, Michael Reagan encouraged attendees not to “go home and forget about it.”
“If you can think of the liberals, think of them as termites eating away at the foundations of your home each and every day,” he advised. “See, that’s what they do every day. See, we can’t afford to let them keep doing that. We can’t just go home and forget about and pick up the torch three days from now or four days from now. We have to be involved each and every day if we’re going to stop all that.”
“So, my challenge to you is this: If you really want to be Reaganesque, write a letter. Make your own time capsule. And write into that time capsule what you are doing today, tomorrow, the next day and the next day to ensure that your grandchildren, your great grandchildren, who live on the 300th anniversary of this nation, are enjoying the same freedoms that you have today,” he added.
“My God, I know there’s a lot of people looking for Ronald Reagan. My God, you gotta know we would all love to have my father back. But let me tell you something, if you wake up in the morning and you yearn to be free, if you wake up in the morning and you see that shining city on the hill and you want that shining city on the hill back where it belongs, and you want America to once again be the proudest nation in the world and have people look up to us then guess what? You found Ronald Reagan. He’s living in each and every one of you.”

I would not agree that Liberals are termites, the lunatics on the Left clearly are nothing more than a malignant mole growing on the ass of society, one that will soon be cut off. The pain in the majority's ass will soon be dug out and it won't be missed at all.

Mom and Dad always liked Ron best. That may explain adopted son Michael's transferred anger at the liberal "termites' who are eating his home.
Ron Reagan is the liberal, atheist son of right-wing icons Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan.
Michael was born in Los Angeles, California, to Irene Flaugher (born 1916- died December 26, 1985, an unwed woman from Kentucky who became pregnant through an affair with an army corporal named John Bourgholtzer (died 1993). He was adopted by Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman shortly after his birth.

Aw shucks, Jr. has to get publicty somehow; what better way than to disrespect his Father. If there were enough ignorant fools who listened to his worthless dribble on Air America, he'd still be on the air there, oh yeah, that shit filled radio station would still be around too, but it's not. There's a reason why Michael is still on the air and Jr has faded away into insignificance, and it does not take a smart fella to figure that out, so this thread should not have a problem with it. :)

In the classical sense, "liberal" used to mean you believed in and promoted individual liberty. Sadly, neither American liberals nor American conservatives - nor many of their counterparts around the world - seek anything but their brand of state control. Today's liberals want material control over your life, today's conservatives want to dictate your morality. Both only want one-half of the liberty equation, which means neither actually respect liberty at all, i.e., "you are as free as we permit."
Neither are a friend to the individual. Both are frauds.

Good one, brother. In fact the best retort I've read so far. The word
Liberal means generous, free, educated. Anyone who thinks those
qualities are evil to the American way of life belong in the camp of
crooks & liars. Come to think of it, that's all Ronald Reagan realy
was despite concealing his ulterior motivations behind the cloak of
his sleezy politics. Reagan was foolishly held high as though he were
the Wizzard of Oz, but only to conceal the Bush Big Oil family, and
the path to self destruction they guided our country down. All the
evils made manifest today are the result of what Reagan ( inter alia )
helped to put into motion. The greatest transfer of middle class wealth
started during Reagan's time, under his policies, which were Bush policies. - 4 months ago

Well, I would consider myself in the "classical" liberal sense . . . . . . You know . . . . . "godless, pot smoking hippie" type.
But you're right about the difference, in today's political climate (as far right as the right has gone) Reagan would be considered a moderate Democrat.

Checked :
The Act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat, who had earlier signed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law.
During the debate over the 2006 extension, some Republican members of Congress objected to renewing the preclearance requirement (the Act's primary enforcement provision), arguing that it represents an overreach of federal power and places unwarranted bureaucratic demands on Southern states that have long since abandoned the discriminatory practices the Act was meant to eradicate. Conservative legislators also opposed requiring states with large Spanish-speaking populations to provide bilingual ballots. Congress nonetheless voted to extend the Act for twenty-five years with its original enforcement provisions left intact.

In deed, a lone voice of intelligence on this thread. Most certainly, the days of Classical Liberalism have vanished, and the Neo-Marxists have infected a once noble calling with their perverted religion of government. True about those bible thumpers who habitate in the GOP as well. Both groups should be perp walked to a brick wall.

After it got enough votes in Congress, thanks to Republican support. Last I checked, this is till the UNITED States of America, an English speaking country, if "citizens" do not know how to speak the language of their nation, how on Earth are they expected to prosper, or know enough about the issues and the politicians to vote? Ballots should only be in English.

You can bet your sweet "bippy" Michael! We will never stop eating, chopping, gauging and chewing away at the foundation of that which you have falsely claimed as America. The oligarchy and corporate right -extremist- organizations which you claim as (your) America, are what those of us who are capable of advanced and subtle reasoning call the "anti christ" and the traitors of American values and principles, and the cancer within America. Now that you know that you, and all that you represent and espouse, are no more than cancer upon this country, perhaps you would like to self euthanize and put all of us out of your misery.

I'm not into building construction, but the last time I checked foundations were usually made of concrete, not wood. Termites eat wood, and wood suffers from dry rot when you put it in the ground as a foundation. Only a fool would build a foundation of wood.
The foundation of America is not wood, so Michael's theory is already collapsing. I think things are growing in Michael's brain. It's turning him into a psychopath, and Michael is prepared to pass along the disease to whomever happens to be listening.

Too funny. Michael's brother Ron is a liberal.
"eating away at the foundation"? No, I don't think so. We are rootstrikers.
