1. Say what you want...
Rushmore can't handle another face structurally.

Unless Reagan wants to add one more thing to the things he's destroyed just by showing his face.

2. I'd like to see...
...Rushmore returned to a natural state. The only reason that it's there, anyway, is as a giant urine pool on Native sacred territory.

7. Reagan is nowhere near Mount Rushmore caliber.

20. Have you forgotten that, even for the ones there now, WE VIOLATED
American Indian's sacred territory???
What is done is done, but let's not make it more obscene.

9. I'd seriously entertain the idea of blowing up Rushmore myself if [...]
<...> that happened. That would definitely prove true the notion that this is a cult of personality that has taken over the American public.

I could not live with myself morally if I allowed Reagans image to pollute the beautiful monument on Rushmore.

13. That would be horrid!
Bury the poor man's body, for the love of Christ! I didn't much like him or his politics, but I see no purpose in hanging his body from a national monument like that.

Might make the birds sick.

14. I answered and sent a message as follows (basically HELL NO!):
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 11:50 AM by LittleApple81
I am so exhausted by the continuous, unending misrepresentation of Reagan's record... How sad that the media have been over-eager participants in the adoration of a false idol.
For today's question: not only no but HELL NO. That site was sacred to American Indians and we already defaced it by putting the images of white presidents there. But REAGAN???? It would be an insult not only to the American Indians but to all humanity.

15. A phrase to remember!
My mother always told me "Names are fools like their faces, always seen in public places." I never really appreciated that saying until Reagan became president. Of course, now it is as clear as a bell.

19. Voted "No."
Still holding at 42% Yes and 58% No.

Other than that, nothing but a whorefest over there.

23. Sure!
Just so I can see it crumble off because the rock is so unstable. That would be poetic justice!

24. Sure...
But only if I can see Cary Grant run all over his face ala "North by Northwest."

(Incidentally, if I remember correctly, Cary Grant opened the 1980 Republican Convention)

25. Not just no, but HELL NO!!!
Although I think Mt. Rushmore is kind of bizarre, anyway, and I wonder what future archaeologists will make of it.

26. Kind of bizarre? We raped a sacred site for the American Indians.
I would call that an abuse, more than just bizarre. If we "desecrated" "Christian Monuments", what would all the RW say?

27. Would you like to see Mt Rushmore bombed into oblivion?
Because it will happen if Reagan or either Bush ever disgraces that mountain. :nuke:

29. This will NOT happen - the mountain couldn't handle it.
This has already been discussed, and the mountain itself cannot handle any more explosions - it would crumble to dust. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!

30. Only if the Presidents' entire bodies are depicted.
Then Reagan could be a pimple on Thomas Jefferson's ass.
