Now they want Reagan's name off the airport

No doubt tacked onto the bill to expunge Reagan's name will be language to name it "Obama National Airport." This is all quite pathetic, but only hurts Democrats. I hope they keep up with this petty nonsense.

Jul 2, 2009

Reagan stood for small government, fiscal responsibility, freedom of choice and personal responsibility. Don't forget standing up for Democracy all over the world. Reagan made us feel thankful to have our liberties and to understand why. Hmmm...guess that gets in their crawl and brings to light just how different the current administration operates. I was proud of Obama at first and over-looked a few lies I heard, but the corruption is rampant now and I am ashamed of him. I hope I see the day when he and his cronies and his propaganda press disappear forever.

Communists have a penchant, as basic principle, for erasing all vestiges of their predecessors as well. Coink-ka-dink?!? You tell me.

Jul 2, 2009

Pres. Reagan stood for small government, fiscal responsibility, very strong military, personal responsibility and accountability and freedom. He made us feel thankful to have our freedom and to understand why. Don't forget he stood up for freedoms and Democracy all over the world. Guess that gets in their crawl because this is almost a complete opposite of the current administration. I was proud of obama, even though I knew he had lied a few times. Now, I am ashamed of him. I hope I see the day when he, his cronies and his neutered press disappear.

Jul 2, 2009

Good night, are they serious? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. This will not go through and they will look small and petty for even suggesting it.

Jul 2, 2009

Hello - can't anyone spot a silly ploy to get republicans riled up? We're talking about the same "Obama the Communist" who won't even push for single payer health care. Evidently there are a lot of people with nothing meaningful to worry about!

Jul 2, 2009

This from the same president who returned a bust of Winston Churhill to the British. One more step in the "Caliphication" of the USofA.

Jul 2, 2009

Obamacrats are straight out of a Monty Python skit.

Jul 2, 2009

Talk from who? This sounds like hearsay to me. Unless someone wants to name a source I'm writing this off as BS to get the Right more angry then they already are.

Jul 2, 2009

A tyical DEM+Press trial balloon. Attribute it to "talk" and feel the force of the blowback. A viscous storm brews, complete deniability, nobody remebers who floated the idea. A lite breeze, someone will step forward to claim the idea.

Jul 2, 2009

Could this be a distraction to diffuse energy from th ebig prizes.. Cap & Tax and Government dictated healthcare? They get the grassroots opposition zoned in on this which is petty but not something that will really have any impact and folks back off from pinging on their Senators and, Voila! we have the Cap & Tax... the ultimate control on based on the CO2 fraud.

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read." My suggestion would be to get out of the dogs and do some reading of actual facts and statistics on the acting presidents' record re: size of government, deficits, debt, money wasted on outspending the USSR on excess military projects, etc. I don't care about Reagan Airport, I'd rather take Stevens' off of Anchorage. Granted Bush's FBI screwed up the investigation. Easiest way to forestall or overturn a conviction.

Jul 2, 2009

Reagan was for helping the rich and gutting the poor and the middle class. He called medicare and SS Communism-not even just socialism but Communism, mind you. He was the beginning of the right wing gutting of education, music classes, after school programs. The gutting of regulations that protect our food and our workplace. Ronald Reagan sold weapons to terorists- Iran Contra and supported right wing torturers all over South America. I'd be happy if nothing was ever named after him

Jul 3, 2009

Ve should all support ze fuhrer. Zig Hiel Barack!

Jul 3, 2009

Pres. Reagan stood for small government (although it expanded more under his watch than ever before), fiscal responsibility (although he exploded the deficit with voodoo economics), very strong military (which bankrupted both the USSR and the USA), personal responsibility and accountability (except when it came to his friends and campaign contributors) and freedom (sure, I guess he believed in it but he certainly didn't do much to help us keep it). Just the kind of President we want on one of the biggest airports in America.

Jul 3, 2009

Correct me if I am wrong, and I am sure that a lot of the Reaganite sycophants here will do so, but was not The Great Communicator Himself opposed to naming anything after anyone who had not been dead for at least 25 years?!??! We in Washington were perfectly happy with that "generic moniker" of National Airport: we felt it went well with a sense of Nation and the fact that this airport was in the Nation's Capitol. The man was not even biologically dead before people wanted to memorialize him, and he wanted the 25 years! Seems odd that in an era where Republicans want to go backwards that they are opposed to putting something back to the way it was in the good old days. Finally, if you did not even live in the DC area, get off it: how would you feel in Akron if people in Iowa told you what to name your airport....?

Jul 3, 2009

Wow. You conservatives have really become some pretty whiny people.

Dateline: Philadelphia, Mississippi -- Reagan launches campaign for White House practically standing (dancing) on the graves of Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney...'nuff said.

Jul 3, 2009

Who cares? Reagan is overrated and there's a million things named after him anyway. And nobody calls it "Reagan Airport". It's National. Always has been, always will be.

Jul 3, 2009

Wow. Talk about talk. Sounds like news to me! What will "they" do next?

Jul 3, 2009

Runaway deficit spending, only later surpassed by Bush. Iran Contra, then lying under oath "I don't remember." Pandering to the religious right. Credit for bringing down the Berlin Wall id misplaced... USSR was crumbling anyway. A B-grade actor who never belonged in the White House. Conservatives would rename the city after him, if they could. I never refer to our airport as "Reagan," only ever as "National." Please take his name off.

Jul 3, 2009

I'll always refer to it as "National" Airport. Reagan sycophants would rename the entire city after him, if they could. He bankrupted America with deficit spending at level only surpassed by Dubya. He lied under oath about Iran-Contra. Numerous other shenanigans, many as CA Governor. He hoodwinked the American public with his B-grade actor style.

Reagan was a senile old puff adder who paved the way for the excesses of Flight Suit Boy. It is a disgrace that National Airport is named after such a monster.

I agree with the Whitehouse, It should be named the Chevez/Castro International

Jul 3, 2009

I enjoy how you call the Democrats petty, small, and ridiculous for even considering this action, and then you quickly make a very petty, small, and ridiculous teleprompter remark. One of my favorite things about the right is how they seem to always fail to recognize their near constant stream of acts of hypocrisy.

Jul 3, 2009

Do any of you actually LIVE in Washington? Absolutely no one calls it "Reagan" and it's pretty confusing for out of towners to hear it referred to as "National". And honestly, who cares?

Jul 3, 2009

I believe it was Gore Vidal who pointed out that the airport was already named after a president - Washington National Airport. Should have stayed that way.

Jul 3, 2009

" . . . its previous generic moniker: National Airport." Actually, the "moniker" used to be "Washington National Airport." You see, it was already named after one of our greatest presidents, whom conservatives chose to insult in order to promote the ideology of one of our worst.

Jul 3, 2009

Ronald Reagan is overrated, and conservatives have turned him into something of a mythological figure. Fiscal responsibility? Please. With his massive military build-up, Reagan was responsible for record deficits, that were only beaten by George W. Bush two decades later.

Jul 3, 2009

It is obvious from the comments that Reagan is still a threat to the liberals or they would not try to tear him down. Get over it and move on. Oh my did I say Move On.

Jim Lakely Jul 2, 2009 Comment from Jim Lakely: "No doubt tacked onto the bill to expunge Reagan's name will be language to name it 'Obama National Airport.' This is all quite pathetic, but only hurts Democrats. I hope they keep up with this petty nonsense." Yes, it would be petty for the Democrats to change the name from one president in an effort to worship a modern era president, wouldn't it? Maybe sort of like changing the name of the airport named Washington (you know, as in President George Washington) National Airport to Reagan National Airport? I mean, that would just be petty wouldn't it?

Jul 3, 2009

this dosen't surprise me at all...We're talking about Obama ya'll..plus the fact that more and more are waking from the Obama syndrome...the more his policies affect them the more will see we were right...give him enough rope "as my Dad useta say" and he will hang himself...GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Jul 3, 2009

Only a bunch of libs can complain about the spending of Reagan and Bush and not complain about the massive spending of Obama. Actually Kyle the official name is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Still has Washington in the name.

Jul 3, 2009

What did you expect from the Rude Crude Radical Left? They are a despicable group of evil people who feel entitled and will make this good country into a third world backwater.

Jul 3, 2009

Reagan was one of the greatest presidents in our history. It was under carter the peanut farmer that we had to wait in line for gas(if we could get any) and we were paying 17% interest on our mortgages. Reagan brought the biggest growth in our economy, reduced taxes, and turned the economy around that he inherited from mr. irrelevant. Get your facts straight. He brought about change. you left wingers are skitzos.

Jul 3, 2009

Haven't we taken enough of this? I say enough of pretending that Democrats are Americans, that their ideas are worthy of consideration, that they are anything but enemies of America and Americans. Lets just start shooting them all and burying them in mass graves. Start at the top and work our way down and lets rid this country of the cancer of Communism (aka) Democrats once and for all. Where is Lee Harvey Oswald when we really need him? Lock and load and start killing them.

Reagan - The Great Communicator Obama - The Great Communist

Jul 3, 2009

Our history is being rewritten by these yahoo's to be more "convenient" to their causes. What a travesty!

Jul 3, 2009

I linked here from another site ... after hovering over the link to see if it was TheOnion. It's amazing how many folks take it seriously and respond with rabid hatred. When this story turns out to be a complete fabrication, will Ms Hollingsworth be fired ?

Jul 3, 2009

Wow! Somehow I ended up in a nest of truly deluded people. Reagan may have been the "Great Communicator" to you, but he said absolutely nothing of any consequence. He was a B actor, and his performances as both governor and president were far less than stellar and left both the state of California and the country in poor shape. I know that facts are anathema for all of you Reagan worshippers, but if you take the time to look at the roots of the financial crisis we find ourselves mired in right now you will find that they trace back to Reagan.

Jul 3, 2009

oh please. The republicans came into power and named the airport after reagan just to put a thumb in the eye of democrats. Left to their own devices they would have renamed the country The Reagan States of America, and are still actively trying to rename everything is site after him. Just ask "drown government in the bathtub" grover norquist. Its a further attempt at lionizing and trying to create a myth around reagan as the poster boy for conservatism, which all evidence disputes, but then, republicans have proven they have no taste for facts and evidence. I say call it all washingtonians call it, National Airport.

Jul 3, 2009

Wow, such bitter language from, well, both sides. I think it is so sad for all concerned. The elites/ bankers have us fighting each other, while they advance their self-serving agenda. If we spent as much time putting the spotlight on them, as we do attacking each other, we just might turn things around.

Jul 3, 2009

Honestly, you want to compare Obama's communicating skills to Reagan's? Reagan couldn't remember his name without a stage whispering wife and a three by five card. In fact, on more than one occasion he read the wrong cards at an event, completely confusing the audience.

Jul 3, 2009

Reagan "stood for" smaller government. He "believed in" lower deficits. He "promoted" American strength abroad. He was "passionately" pro-life. What happened during his Administration? Doesn't matter. Move on. Nothing to see here. The Reagan Myth is just that- a Myth. Frankly I'm bored with the Reagan cultists. Washington National was a perfectly fine name for the airport. Want a Reagan Airport? Change the name of LAX.

Jul 3, 2009

The Dems have a long history of taking Republican names off of things -- FDR changed the name of that dam in Nevada from "Hoover" to "Boulder" to try to wipe out the memory of his predecessor.

Jul 3, 2009

If only they could actually change the name back to just National. Reagan was never a friend of DC (or of air traffic controllers or pilots for that matter). If any airport should be named after him make it in a Red State like Texas. Alas, the reversion to National will never happen as Republicans will make the loudest stink ever to defend the "honor" of their revered saint.

Jul 3, 2009

Wow, plenty of stupid and petty leftists here trying to denigrate Reagan. The fact remains that he brought about one of the largest economic expansions in the U.S., which is quite an accomplishment, especially after the debacle that was the Carter administration. This makes it all the more hilarious to see some idiots on here saying that Reagan was one of the worst presidents, whilst ignoring his predecessor and the mess that Reagan cleaned up after him.

Jul 4, 2009

Good God, I can't believe I ever voted Democrat. they just get keep getting more childlike by the minute... hello, locking the doors on Republican NY State Senators.... sending massive legislation to Congressional Republicans at 3 in the morning. America: Think Again in 2010 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Jul 4, 2009

The Democraps probably want to rename the airport Mao National Airport. And I'm sure they're angling to rename Dulles, since John Foster Dulles was staunchly anti-communist, counter to the beliefs of the Messiah and his cronies.

Jul 4, 2009

And Comrade 0bama's (he's the guy in power now, remember?) deficits will beat the Bushes' and Reagan's combined. Oh, throw in those of every other President who left a debt behind for others to clean up and 0bama is still the "winner" in amassing debt. Reagan came from nothing and worked his way up; 0bama was handed everything. Too bad he didn't succeed in gutting education: We might have children who can spell, use algebra, and identify a fraud while saving taxpayers the bundle that goes to public school teachers' sinecures and their fat pensions.

Jul 4, 2009

Great idea. I fully support this. It should be just National Airport, or Washington National Airport. It should never have been changed to begin with. As for Reagan's legacy, its a joke. Look at California today. That's because of Reagans' Prop 13. The guy was an actor and nothing more.

Jul 5, 2009

Are the Democratchniks going to rename the facility Angela Davis Internationale'?

Jul 5, 2009

Why would anyone want to do this? It was done to honor Ronald Reagan. So is he suddenly not worthy anymore? Or does someone have the brilliant idea of re-naming it "Obama" ???

Jul 6, 2009

13,000+ Air Traffic Controllers and millions of other fellows who were negatively affected by his "conservative" & radical "trinkle down" economic principles would love to see the name of our Air Port return to the RIGHT name the "National Airport".

Jul 6, 2009

The adoration of Reagan by the Right smacks of the 'cult of personality'. To the opposition, memories are not so fond- the denial of the AIDS infection, catsup sold to the poor as a vegetable portion, the 'judge and jury' destruction of the air traffic controllers, the puppet-like speech in an SS cemetery, and finally the sad spectacle of the first signs of Alzheimer's disease, masked by his controllers. Sorry, I've just never been awed by 'St. Ronnie'.

Jul 6, 2009

Barbara, you are an idiot. Tell me how "gutted" education is when Montgomery county's school budget is $2Billion dollars??? No one EVER gutted education in this country, it has fatter budgets than most big corporations. Morons!

Jul 6, 2009

Amazing... Nearly everything in KKK Grand Kleagle Byrd's state is named after him, and the wanker Democrats whine about Reagan National Airport?

Jul 6, 2009

Dr. Andy, your comment is hilarious! Cult of Personality, har har har! Howzabout der Grand Leader ObamaFuhrer? Now THAT is cult o'personality for ya!

Jul 6, 2009

Couldn't speak without help. Huge deficits. Unemployment skyrocketing. Controlling wife. Not Reagan, then... ObamaFuhrer, now...

Jul 6, 2009

Oh, come on. Prop 13? THAT's the reason why CA has the biggest deficit ever? It's not 3 billion giveaway for stem cell research? It's not the worst CARB air resources board bureaucracy with 200 people driving around in new cars looking for people illegally using their fireplace? It's not the incessant CA intervention into business minutia, causing businesses to leave the state? It's not the $100 and $200 and $500 "fees" every time you turn around? It's not the millions of illegal aliens we support in CA?

Jul 6, 2009

. Lessee.... let the government make the control the business of air traffic control. Let the Unions strike and cripple the country's security. The Unions and their members lost out on that one. I feel sorry for the controllers stuck with that Union - but - having been a member of a Union before, I wouldn't want to buck it - people get hurt. CG

Jul 9, 2009

Yes, let's undo this desecration. DCA already named after an American President--not that someone like Ronald Wilson Reagan could identify him.

Jul 12, 2009

Washington DC suffered greatly under Reagan; poverty and misery increased, and the class divide widened. It also should be noted that the city overwhelmingly voted for both Mondale and Carter. Why not name DC's airport after someone who the citizens actually remember fondly? Would citizens of Houston want their airport named after Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi? There are many airports in the country for Reagan, Cheney, or Nixon; let us name our airport after someone who is dear to us.

Sep 16, 2009

Reagan signed the biggest tax increase in history accounting for inflation except for George W Bush. Check the Libary of Congress. Ronald Wilson Reagan 666

Oct 28, 2009

Only a bunch of libs can complain about the spending of Reagan and Bush and not complain about the massive spending of Obama. Actually Kyle the official name is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Still has Washington in the name.

Great comments LIBTARDS. Make sure you your talking points, not facts and anything at all that is not liberal, its wrong.

Love the personal attacks on a man who was shot in office, served his country in WWII, and actually was a citizen, which at this point HAS YET TO BE PROVEN FOR OBAMBI. But hey, lets never allow the facts to confuse the LIBTARDS!

Nov 13, 2009

Come on you bureaucrats, are we all trying to stop life as we know it? All this petty nit-picking will not help solve problems, but create many more! Leave former President Reagan's name alone. Let him rest...has he not passed away already? Your treating him like he is still alive.

Nov 14, 2009

As in all pass Presidents there are some things to like about them and somethings not liked. When one compares Carter and Reagan I would take Reagan by 20 to 1
I see a lot of area folks of D.C. that seem to hate Reagan and like Carter or any Dem. and the only reason I can think of is they like their big Gov. jobs being paid for by fed. tax dollors( and they don't really work for those $ as we all know how little good comes out of gov. except to get in one's face and pocketbook) or they like the welfare they receive and it looks like the current Pres. and his special picks of socialest call by many (zars) to run behind the curtin with out any vetins or oversight by congress gives the big gov. workers and welfare folks a tingles up their legs because they know they are going to get a lot more of our money.
