Reagan beats Lincoln for Greatest American?!?!?!? WTF?

[CubsFan1982]

How the hell does that neo-fascist motherfucker beat the fucking Great Emancipator? I'm never watching the Discovery Channel again.

:grr:

1. Reagan? WTF

:wtf:? That beast, the SOB bankrupted the country and set the stage for today's economic disasters! Ronnie was a "slave" for Wall Street. He was no "man of the people". Please, Lincoln freed the slaves, what did Reagan do besides make the dominant Anglo establishment even more dominant and powerful?!?

:argh:

I'd like to see the DISCOVERY CHANNEL TAKEN OFF THE AIR!

[Droopy]

2. What were the reasons that they gave for his greatness?

Or did they give any?

4. Americans have short attention spans

Reagan was within their lifetime. History means nothing to these people. Franklin flew a kite, Washington chopped down a cherry tree, Lincoln liked to chop wood too, and King liked to walk. But Reagan, he made MOVIES! :sarcasm:

Americans can be really shallow sometimes.

5. I didn't watch the show, myself.

But I imagine that the poll was freeped pretty heavily to get THAT result. Man, am I pissed.

3. Politics aside: HOW THE @#$ IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!???

That's like saying Oasis is bigger than the Beatles!

8. The greatest argument against democracy...

is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.

Americans are stupid. Lazy. And, as mentioned, have short attention spans.

They can't worry about some fucking fag with a big hat who got shot hundreds of years ago! Reagan survived his shooting and went on to kill all the communists with his own two hands! And his wife wasn't insane!

:crazy:

9. It was an online vote, through AOL

:shrug:

Big deal.
