That's shoving fucking reagan's words back down his dry rotting gullet. Where they belong, frankly.

That and the Molotov cocktail. I think that cartoonist got the recipe impeccably correct.

President Reagan cited, in his last national address, that his favorite read was John Winthrop's "A Modell of Christian Charity."

John Winthrop called the new country "the city on a hill" NOT "the shining city on the hill."

Ronald Reagan misquoted Winthrop and everyone's getting that wrong ever since.

The funny thing is that Winthrop stressed the need for the wealthy to give their excesses to the poor at least once a year. The wealthy were to take care of the poor and the poor were to reciprocate and not rebel against them.
