Hell just got a little more crowded.
To be fair, as twisted as some of his policies were, at least the Gipper truly believed he was doing the right thing for the country... and he wasn't a total wack-job egomaniacal psychopath with the IQ of toast and the people skills of a catfish. Compared to what we have now, Ron was a saint... but that's purely contextual. Really, the qualities that earned Reagan so much respect, such as thoughtfulness, introspection, honesty (well, some of the time), are truly noble, and the complete lack of these qualities in the current regime are what make it so uttelry despicable.
Going behind the backs of the congress and the American people with shady deals while plunging the nation into record deficit to further an ideological battle which was truly pointless, the incredibly flawed trickle down economic scheme which drove a huge wedge between the classes while doing no real good for the nation's finances, and being utterly insensitive to all who didn't follow his moral code are more than enough to mark Reagan's term in office as one of the most embarrassing for the country. But he was charming, and he was intelligent, and he was true to his beliefs.
There. I guess I said some nice things.
He's still going to hell.
Maybe just one of the upper rings. They're saving a special spot for G.W. in the 9th ring. Hitler is waiting for his new cellmate, and he's got a woody just thinking about it. They're going to get along so well.
