Even President Reagan admitted that he was once a liberal. Thankfully, he grew out of it and became an American!

26Franklin's definition of an American:
Supports dictatorships running death squads, runs military budget high and fill it with useless projects, deregulates economy enough so it will collapse in 30 years and ban guns because of the WAR ON DRUGS.
Yeah, Ronzo and his gang are responsible for breaking the promise to provide lifetime medical care for military retirees.
I wouldn't call him an American, but a gofer for the self-styled aristocrats.
I was born and raised right smack in the middle of the USA.
I hold a Kansas driver's license.
I don't require a work permit to get a job here, or a student visa to go to school.
I love American football.
I've voted in every US Presidential election, and even a few mid-term elections.
I cried for weeks after 9/11.
I stand proudly during the US National Anthem.
I eat BBQ and play with explosives every 4th of July.
I sang "America the Beautiful" "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "This Land is Your Land" in school pageants.
But I guess since I'm a liberal none of that makes me an American. Thank you for setting me straight on that.
Ah, yes, liberals are unAmerican. Right.
Like the liberal governor of Texas who so hates America that he suggested his state leave the Union.
Oh, wait, that was Rick Perry, a conservative Republican.
Or how about all of the liberals who cheered with joy when an American city failed to be awarded the Olympic Games?
Oh, wait, that was Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and numerous other conservatives.
And that's just in the past nine months.
Yeah! If it weren't for that whole Iran-Contra thing, for which any civilian would have surely been charged with sedition or even treason and executed, Ronnie was America's greatest President! He fought dem Comies, u kno.

Whereupon he was acted off the screen by a chimpanzee (in the film "Bedtime for Bonzo"). Then he went loopy and thought he was John Wayne. Then he died and did the planet a favour.
@ TB Tabby:
> What you call a radical liberal would be viewed as a moderate conservative in any other nation.
You're not wrong. I'd invite you to take Britain's current prime minister on a job-swap with Obama and install him as President pro tem in your country, but I doubt he'd last 20 minutes from the airport before being gunned down by some pillock who thought Cameron wasn't a sufficiently laissez-faire, welfare-slashing, healthcare-selling arsehole aristocratic millionaire with just a mere £19 million in the bank.
Fuck it, for once I can't be arsed to correct that sentence for good grammar!
Edit: Or sense. Sorry. Good night.
Reagan was a puppet
That being said he was for most his rule a fairly convincing adaptable puppet
W was a puppet too, not nearly as talented. Always could see the strings.
As a puppet, and a good one, Reagan actually seemed to give good genine lip service to shit he never intended to do. Yeah, the liberal Reagan was the puppet lying to America.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
