Happy 100th, Ronald Reagan!

Britain Holds Tribute to President Ronald Reagan

As Fourth of July celebrations get under way across the United States, London will hold its own tribute to America's 40th President, Ronald Reagan, with the unveiling of a bronze statue outside the American embassy in Grosvenor Square.





Former president Reagan will stand alongside other celebrated US heads of state such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower and was considered important enough for Westminster City Council to break its rule specifying that ten years must pass after a subject's death before they can be immortalized in statue form.

Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will be in London for the unveiling of the memorial, along with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. Baroness Thatcher, Reagan's closest foreign ally and one half of the 'Special Relationship' which came to epitomize the 1980s and contribute to the demise of the Cold War will probably be too frail to attend the ceremony celebrating the man she referred to as "the second most important man in my life."


The $1 million statue is the latest in a number that have been unveiled across the world, celebrating 100 years since Reagan's birth and in recognition of his contribution to the fall of Communism in Europe. Indeed a quote attributed to Lady Thatcher that "Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot" will be etched on the statue's plinth which will be displayed with a portion of the Berlin Wall.

Ie. neo-conservatives.

Yeah well on June 5th, which was his ACTUAL birthday, I don't remember any of the neo-clowns here memorializing him, even though he was a hot topic in at least one thread that day.

And really, getting the topic back on track... If our struggles with the British had turned out otherwise they'd have been able to build a nice statue to Benedict Arnold instead.
   Anybody know if the British government actually paid for the statue, or was it those clowns who were trying to raise money to put his stupid mug on Mt. Rushmore?

You are right, I stand corrected... June 5th is the day I celebrate... The Day the world was relieved of Ronald Reagan... My bad, I mixed the Dates ... Here's your celebration courtesy of Pahunky:

"Sick of the triple-cable-network, wall-to-wall coverage of the 'Centennial Celebration' of senile sociopath Ronald Reagan? Here is an overview of this over-rated dirt-bag's war on the poor and his crimes against humanity. --LRP
The massive (but under-reported) Reagan Administration corruption By Ray Dubuque 2008 Ronald Reagan's Criminal Administration: "By the end of his term, 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved, the record of his administration was the worst ever." ('Sleep-Walking Through History: America in the Reagan Years,' by Haynes Johnson, 1991. [Well, George W. Bush hadn't been installed in the 2000 coup, when Johnson penned his comments.] ...Despite their many public lies about the matter, it was eventually proven that the Sales of weapons to Iran, followed by illegal financial support of the Central American Contras were carried out with the knowledge of, among others, President Ronald Reagan, Vice President George Bush [See: Bush Son Had Dinner Plans With Hinckley Brother Before Shooting], Secretary of State George P. Shultz, Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger, Director of Central Intelligence William J. Casey, and national security advisers Robert C. McFarlane and John M. Poindexter... Large volumes of highly relevant, contemporaneously created documents were systematically and willfully withheld from investigators by several Reagan Administration officials in an attempt to cover up the administration's extensive corruption."

Actually, that's a pretty fitting testimonial even if it didn't come from of of the NEO-CLOWNS on the sacred day.

Long Live The Memory Of IRAN-Contra
And thanks for the timely correction ... good googling! Works a little better than my memory for some dates apparently.
