The Absurdity of Republicans Pointing with Pride to the Reagan Revolution

Ronald Reagan boasted about balancing the budget. Sadly, he wound up tripling the U.S. budget deficit. Then to salvage his administration's track record, they named the Washington National Airport after Ronald Reagan - Reagan National Airport.
If plunging the nation into deep dept with credit card type budget spending is the criterion, George Bush should definitely have EVERY airport named after him and with good reason. The so-called conservatives, falsely, of course, the Republican-led Bush Administration has plunged the U.S.A. into a $10 trillion debt.
So isn't it only logical that if the Republicans honored a president like Reagan who tripled the national debt to be so honored to have an airport named after him, shouldn't Bush with the biggest national debt, greater than all prior debts combined, have EVERY U.S. airport named after him?

Crisis in Darfur!

While the Bush Administration was spending billions to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq, or so those Republican leaders told us, all hell broke loose in a violent sectarian war.
The most horrifying wars of all are religious wars. How many of those Republican leaders such as Tom DeLay (former pest exterminator) and Dennis Hastert (former wrestling coach/teacher) were well grounded in historical knowledge of the Dark Ages or of Middle East religion and politics?
Sadly name value, such as Reagan the actor, Schwarzenegger the actor, or Jesse Ventura the wrestler, were all names and careers with which a lot of voters could easily identify.

How Low Will Desperate Republicans Go?

Isn't it enough that it is now provable there never were those "weapons of mass destruction" that launched us into this bloody spectacle?
Every congressman should be required to have knowledge of the historical background and irrefutable proof of the nation they want to war against as an "imminent threat" to the U.S.A.
Otherwise innocent men, women, and children will be killed in a slaughter spree.
