Responding to Obama's Win, Michael (Son of) Reagan Says, Go After Dems on Sex
The Obama win is driving some conservatives crazy. On Tuesday, Michael Reagan, talk show host and son of Ronald, sent out an email announcing a new outfit called Reagan Action, which among other things, will seek to "expose" the sexual "corruption" of leading Democrats. And he was characteristically over the top:
Dear Conservative Friend,
My father wasn't afraid to call evil what it was -- and neither am I. He defeated the "Evil Empire" called the Soviet Union -- but now we face a new "Evil Empire." It's called Socialism, and it's taken over our once-free nation through the victories of Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
We MUST do this. Really -- what choice do we have, except to fight back and WIN? As my father, President Ronald Reagan, once said, "We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow."
It's official: America has its first truly Socialist president... and it's the Republican Party's fault.
No, scratch that -- it's the so-called "leaders" of the GOP who are at fault for this humiliating defeat -- and I say it's time to name names and make heads roll in our party. Because, my fellow conservatives, we have been BETRAYED by the very people who promised that, if we would just elect them, they would get into office and vote OUR conservative values.
THEY LIED... THE GOP DIED.
Michael Reagan, who sure likes bold face and capital letters, notes that he is angry with President Bush and
the so-called "leaders" of our party, who promised us that if we'd just vote for who they put up for election, we'd finally get what we wanted: smaller government, lower taxes, dramatically lower spending, pro-life laws, pro-marriage constitutional amendments, pro-American economics... well, YOU AND I put them in power, and they gave us nothing but BIG GOVERNMENT, BIG DEFICITS, and LIBERAL COMPROMISES.
So what's he going to do about it? Reagan is declaring "the NEW Reagan Revolution to bring Conservatism BACK!" And how will contributing to Reagan Action--yes, this was a solicitation letter--bring back conservatism? This new group, Reagan promises, will
EXPOSE LIBERAL CORRUPTION-- With the Democrats back in power in both Congress and the White House, you KNOW that they'll be falling right back into their habits of taking lobbyists' money under the table, trading votes for campaign contributions, spying on and sabotaging Republican legislative plans, covering up their leaders' sexual "flings," and spending taxpayer money on personal expenses like never before. But this time, YOU AND I will be there every step of the way, making sure that no stone is left unturned, every dark corner is filled with light, and every illegal act is paid for with censure, impeachment, recalls, investigations, and jail time for every criminal we expose in Washington, D.C.
And Reagan will also be directing "Reagan Activists to "fill the news media with letters to the editor, guest editorials, and news articles detailing the socialistic and corrupt policies of the new liberal regime."
This is some effort he has planned--mounting an army of Reagan-loving volunteers to go up against the "evil" Obama administration and take the country back from the socialists. And Reagan is even willing to probe the sexual "flings" of Democrats.
Reality check: is the United States now a socialist state about to be headed by a socialist leader? (Let's leave aside the Wall Street bailout.) There are two explanations for Reagan's letter. (A) He's become totally unhinged by the Obama victory, and (B), he's crassly trying to squeeze whatever cash he can out of conservative donors by exploiting their ideological paranoia. Maybe the correct answer is all of the above.

Taking a look at the bold, the all caps, and generally poor layout of the writing, I begin to wonder if Michael Reagan and Bill Nigh are one and the same.
The sexual flings part is the best - because of course, NO Republican politician has ever been embroiled in any kind of sex scandal. Nope, never.
Michael ought to be writing for the Onion or Wonkette...he's a natural!
Mark Foley!
His father Ronald Reagan started the trickle down economy and less regulation which was carried on by Bush and his conservatives...Maybe he is worried that his father will carry some of the blame for the mess we are in now..I thik he should..
How about a little trickle up economy or would he call that Socialism..
These guys are freaks! What is the deal? There personal beliefs are just astounding. I guess the only way to be a republican today is if you have 1 of the following qualities.
Uber Rich
Racist
Ignorant
Religiously intolerant
Homophobe
Redneck
Small pecker
Paul Miller hit it right on the head with that comparison
Does this guy even talk to his brother, Ron Jr.?
now we face a new "Evil Empire." It's called Socialism, and it's taken over our once-free nation through the victories of Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
Does the Secret Service know that Michael Reagan is inciting violence against President-Elect Obama?
What does Michael Reagan have to say about Mr. Duberstein, one of his father's advisors, endorsing Obama?
Wow, this guy is full of ignorance.
And stupidity.
Reaganites and some neo-conservatives seem to think the american dream ended when their forefathers had a great idea and the resources to implement it, created a business and became insanely rich. All the while the employees are an esential component to the success of a business idea. Yet they are the most manipulated and squandered with no value placed on them other than an essential component to be tolerated until a computer can do the job. When I think of socialism I think of corporate tyranny being put in check. But who knows, all im saying is that in the past some poor became rich and so of those rich have not wanted others to experience the same.
Ronald Reagan was an actor for God's sake, since when did being an actor or even the son of an actor qualify you to lead? But then again it is the led that choose their leader. Just remember, everyone would like to be rich, but there are those who will intentionally keep people poor, and reap huge benefits doing it(Corporate administration can do just about anything with impunity to their employees). There are people who view you as less than human for not being rich. Think about it.
Having said that, there are some very caring and compassionate rich people in this world as well.

Q: Obama would let the tax rate for the highest income bracket revert back to 39%. Under which other president was the tax rate for the richest people 39%?
A: Ronald Reagan.
Wow, is this what it sounds like when your head implodes?
Or make that when your party implodes?
Michael Reagan, still a whiner actively engaged at the teat of the trickle down state. He was even in his father's time an intellectual mite ranting from twisted strands of his DNA.
So is he saying that Denmark, Sweden and the other "socialist" countries in Europe aren't free nations?
What the hell? Did Ronald have a kid with Joe McCarthy?
The new target is the socialists! Lets go after the liberal media! What color do you think they will assign the socialists? Can't call them "Reds" that's been done. lol blacks? hmm...probably too racist, I'm sure they'll think of something.
How is good ol' Mikey not on some sort of anti-psychosis medication? If he is on some then they need to up the dosage...or lower it, or whatever.
Yo Mikey how bout have'n a sit down with Larry Craig in some deserted airport stall of your choosing to discuss an appropriate donation for favors rendered...that should be a big boost to the Evil Empire sex issue.
Gosh, what a buffoon! This guy is not only a swindler, he is also dangerous. I am glad Ron jr is the true blood of Reagan,& surely not this evil- possessed of Michael Who!
Oh, I'd also like to point out that this so called "socialist regime" hasn't even freaking started yet! At least wait until the regime has done something other than visit it's soon to be home before you start the name calling. Holy crap!
I mean Reid and Pelosi have been there for a while already and we have yet to succumb to the horrors that is socialism, but it's Obama that really twists Mike's giblets isn't it? God forbid he make this country enjoyable to live in again. But really, Reagan why don't you hold your horses until the "regime" actually starts doing good for the country, then you can start the name calling.

And since we are on the topic of being watchdogs (sort of), why don't we start punishing those who already deserve it? Like say...starting with G.W. Bush? We can try him and punish him for war crimes. And we can try Cheney while we are at it for trying to run the country for his wallets benefit.
this dude surely has a problem and needs to see a doctor, will also ask that the secret service be after him for trying to incite violence. at a time when " we the people " and every man and woman , black and white , hispanics and asians alike , old and young, all of us who loves this country are talking of coming together to help pull our best resources and reclaim this land of our dream, put america back to leadership position in the world and ensure that the dreams of our of our founding fathers is not deposited as debris o the cross road of history, it is annoying to see that all the REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THEIR BAND OF LOYALIST keep putting out is sow the seed of discord and division among the american people. this party has surely not learn anything from their woeful performance this election season , the lesson that americans are tire of this divisiveness and that we the people encompass a whole brand of people, not just those who think republican ideas, micheal should find himself some other work or at least look for other ways to make money, we are all americans and we all LOVE THIS COUNTRY
The man is whacked. He never really supported his adoptive father when he was alive, but he sure did often try to cash in on his relationship. Now that poor dear daddy's gone Michael believes we should elevate him as an icon so he can cash in even bigger. Exactly to what people is Michael Reagan considered a political analyst? The same people that listen to Limbaugh,Larsen,Coulter,Boort,Fox,etc. Their day has come(and gone,thank God). They've had their fifteen minutes-now it's time for them to slide back into the slime from which they came. And bring their true followers with them. The true followers will be easy to identify--they'll be the ones supporting "MIKES (bowel?)MOVEMENT"
Michael,
Kiss me once and eat me out twice.
Burn out old toes on the stove
"YOU AND I will be there every step of the way, making sure that no stone is left unturned, every dark corner is filled with light, and every illegal act is paid for with censure, impeachment, recalls, investigations, and jail time for every criminal we expose in Washington, D.C."
Hey I'm all for that! We need to stay on their case to keep them honest, and working for us, the people. But I sure hope that he doesn't intend to restrict his efforts to the Democratic side of the aisle.
What a pathetic little man. He would be a nobody but for the fact that he is the adopted son of Ronald Reagan.
Way to go! Instead of saying how they messed up and how the social conservative movement shattered all reality and national priority, Reagan is calling for the Republicans to cripple the Democrats and not work together to solve our real national problems. Way to go! Country first as always! Now we are seeing why we needed to remove them all.
What an obnoxious jerk Michael Reagan is. BTW, under his dad's administration, the Federal govt increased dramatically in size, spending and power.
You forget Newt Gingrich, Bob Livingston, etc., etc. Repugs are the worst violators of their own sexual mores of any I've seen in my nearly 72 years. Go Barack.
The sexual flings part is the best - because of course, NO Republican politician has ever been embroiled in any kind of sex scandal. Nope, never.
I think the scandal is that Democrat males screw around with women rather than little boys.
Michael Reagan is another typical rightwing pundant like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Shawn Hannity and others who author fear and division. They are the genesis of American 'witch hunts' who conveniently turn their heads on those Republicans who were caught up in sex scandals and illegal activity. This is the party of Big Government, Record Deficits, Deregulation and anti-middle class.
Remember Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Coy Privette, Rick Hawkins, Curt Franklin and a host of other lesser known Republican ministers.
And the list is even longer for elected Republican government officials;
Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK)
John Doolittle (R-CA)
Jack Abramoff
Tom Feeney (R-FL)
Jerry Lewis (R-CA
Gary Miller (R-CA)
Tim Murphy (R-PA)
Rick Renzi (R-AZ)
Don Young (R-AK)
Pete Domenici (R-NM
Curt Weldon (former R-PN)
Bob Ney (former R-OH)
Dennis Hastert (former R-IL)
Katherine Harris (former R-FL)
Jim Gibbons (former R-NV)
Mark Foley (former R-FL)
Tom Delay (former R-TX)
Randy 'Duke' Cunningham (former R-CA)
Bob Beauprez (former R-CO)
David Vitter (R-LA
Sen. Larry E. Craig (R-ID)
Rep Gerry Studds
Rep Dan Crane
Bob Livingston
Jack Ryan
Bob Packwood
60 years ago (in 1948) Ronald Reagan was a member of the Democratic Party and was recorded campaigning for Democrats.
Just want to be sure of something:
We know that the next administration will bring Socialism to America.
Because your mom sees it in the astrological charts?
I think I have to go with the latter supposition, he can't be so abysmally ignorant to believe his own propaganda, so he must think that conservatives are so enormously stupid that they will send money to him so he alone may stand in the way of the socialist agenda.
The Reagan legacy:
No more libraries.
No more fire departments
No more police departments
No more public schools
No more Medicaid/Medicare
All socialist evil enterprises.
The top tax rate under this idiot's father was 50%, Obama's "socialist" tax will top out at 39%. Oh and a Republican president just nationalized the banks, mortgage companies and insurance industry.
But Democrats are "marxist"? HA! I bet Michael spends hours discussing the philosophy of economics with Sarah Palin.
Michael Reagan, coming soon to a men's room stall near you.
2 can play the smear game.
Did you hear that to have a chairmanship in the GOP congress or Senate you had to prove your loyalty to the party by raping a young boy while wearing Klan regalia? HW started that back in the 70's to root out turncoats like the ones who did Nixon in, HW got it from disgarded Skull & Bones rituals.
I don't know if its true, its just something I heard...
I recently received an e-mail from a friend who has been absorbed into the Borg that is the Republican Party. Here is the text of what she sent me:
======================================================
I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.
How Long Do We Have?
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
'A democracy is always temporary in anture; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'
'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'
'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'
'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'
'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. from dependence back into bondage'
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000
Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...'
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some
forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years.
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message. If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much
is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
================================
Update....
After another friend attempted to discredit this by pointing out a Snopes article the original friend sent back a very nasty post that ended with -- "I kid you not" ---a smiley face. This was from a very bright woman with a professional career. She lives in a formerly red state that was won by Obama. Be warned, this kind of crap is going around to your friends and relatives. Be prepared to respond, but I would not expect rational discourse.
The Republicans have promoted the fantasy of the Reagan years to take the place of the fantasy of the Eisenhower years. It wasn't exactly as they remember and it wasn't as good for the country as they want to look. Wake up!
Please Democrats, zip your pants and take the threat of sex scandals seriously, because they're easy to understand. Compare it to the difficulty of tracking down and explaining to the public the typical financial or abuse of power scandal. Tim Mahoney's affairs are easy to explain. Try explaining what Ted Stevens was convicted for, what Norm Coleman is suspected of, or why it's such a big deal to go after the bushies e-mails.
Which is more serious should be clear, but sex scandals don't ask the press or public to think.
"No, scratch that -- it's the so-called "leaders" of the GOP who are at fault"
No, scratch that? What, did he type this on a typwriter? Doesn't he know you can go back after you type something on a computer and make corrections?
The only thing prompting me to post: dude, chill on the caps. I read every reply but yours and am pretty confident that I am not alone.
THIS DOES NOT MAKE MY POINT ANYMORE VALID. And, in fact, most often incites the opinion that you are making a bunch of noise to drown out some underlying ignorance. Unfortunately, I will not read your reply to find out. A shame, yep. But I am pretty sure that I didn't miss the next earth-shattering political analysis...even if it was in all caps.
Let's get real about what people like him an other right wing talk radio and TV nuts are doing. They tried and FAILED MISERABLY to control the vote and elect one of their own and now they don't look too good in the eyes of their followers.
When a person loses a point in an argument they either have to walk away and say nothing, continue to argue their side although they know they've lost or, and we all know people like this, get louder more threatening and try to claim respect by yelling at a louder volume. After the volume is raised the next strategy is to plan revenge to recapture the argument and convince us that they were right all along. Name calling and conspiracy theories are usually next. In this case "socialist" and a plot to make the US a socialist state and an action committee to do their bidding. (Normally at least in most of the world the word 'socialist' does not carry a negative connotation, but in the US it has a devastatingly negative effect on the population)(cold war brain washing by US politicians)
It is almost impossible for those of us who think left of centre to imagine why anybody in their right mind would want to support or try to replay last regime in the white house, but that's their job, it pays very well and they have the knowlege that they can influence people who don't think things through...the Joe the plumber types, there's a lot of power there and that is what many people on both sides of the political spectrum strive for.
As in the election, calm voices of reason will prevail if they are spoken OFTEN enough and the TRUTH be told.
Would Michael Reagan even have a job if
he had a different Daddy ... ?
Act now and I'll send you your own personal "SPY RING"!Made from genuine Zirconium and Nickel plating,featuring a "flip top" "Super Secret" compartment,be THE FIRST ONE on your block to own the REAGAN ACTION SPY RING and rat out that COMMIE SOCIALIST DIRTBAG next door!THERES NO TIME TO LOSE!
Michael Reagan and Ted Haggard need to have coffee sometime.
This guy is living in Fantasyland. Be curious to see what the other Reagan son has to say about things.
Michael Regan is atypical of the current repbulican base. These are mentally inbalanced people. They rant and believe themselves to be rational; they accuse everyone not republican of being evil, vile or both. It scares me that there are so many of them without treatment.
it's the so-called "leaders" of the GOP who are at fault for this humiliating defeat
So, where was Michael during the last 8 years? Out screaming about how bad Bush was? Protesting the big budgets? Protesting the destruction of civil liberties? Protesting big government? Calling for Bush's impeachment for lying the country into an unnecessary war? No? What big crickets you've got there, Mr. Reagan.
Tell the son-of-the-guy who raised my taxes 7 times to google "republican values create child molesters"
