Nancy Reagan passes away at age 94 (1 Viewer)

She was an awesome wife to a great President. A very loving and supporting woman and always classy. Ronald was fortunate to have her.  RIP Nancy.  You are finally with Ronnie again.

Sounds like she was ready to go.  Apparently she spent the last few years losing the last of all her friends from that era, and was very lonely.

Ilov80's - thanks for that picture.   :thumbup:

It feels like some bait in here goading someone to get into the Kitty Kelley stuff.  I'll abstain out of respect - RIP Nancy.

No one was baiting you and it is beyond pale that you feel the need to bring up one of the most notorious gossip writers of our time at the time of someone's death.

She also "just said no" to helping people dying of AIDS.

This is false as well. I just listened to Andrea Mitchell discuss this. Nancy had close friends who died of AIDS. It was Nancy who pushed her husband to do something about it, against the wishes of some of the homophobic members of his administration.

Even with fewer responses per page on the new board, we still managed to derail a death thread before page 2.  Keep up the good work, guys!!

And RIP.

The hell I am.  You don't find it the least bit ironic that she was telling people not to use drugs when her husband and party has historically been in the back pockets of tobacco, alcohol and Big Pharma?  Come on....her husband endorsed Chesterfield cigarettes for Christ's sake.  So...destroy yourself with nicotine but don't you dare smoke a joint?  "Just Say No" was  responsible for massive government waste on a drug war that has not just failed but imprisoned countless non-violent offenders.  I also note it didn't stop you from smoking weed, so I'd call the message not only dangerous but ineffectual.

Yeah, because "Just say no" was only referring to weed.

 
She was an instrumental part in the success of one of the most adored Presidencies in this country.  While I don't particularly stand with the politics of her or her husband......I think its cool that so many people in this country still think so fondly of her.  RIP Mr. Reagan....you will be missed.

This is not anything new.  He is pretty much is the Negative Nancy (pun intended) in every thread he posts in.  Try going into a movie review/discussion thread - if it wasn't made before 1940 it's crap.

So your absurd position is if anyone you associate with is involved in something that might indirectly be hypocritical if you wish to make such  a huge stretch, that you can not make any positive statements on such topic?   That is going to be your position in the day of that person's death. Damn, talk about being extremely judgmental. If this is the best point people can make against Nancy, she is a saint.

Is it or is it not a good thing to advise young people to just say no to addictive drugs? I think it's a good thing.

I broke my back and it's awful. L1 (worst), T3, T9. It's been exceedingly painful and I'm in the dark on how to deal. Life-changing.
