Ronald Reagan Freedom Square
 

Soviet monument to make way for Reagan: report

Opponents of Poland's former communist regime reportedly want to pay a
posthumous homage to US President Ronald Reagan by erecting his statue
in the place of a Soviet-era monument.
In an open letter to the mayor of the southwestern city of Katowice,
the former anti-regime activists said that the staunchly anti-
communist Reagan had been a "symbol of liberty," the Polish news
agency PAP reported.

As a result, they said, he deserved to become the centrepiece of the
city's Freedom Square, replacing a monument to the Soviet troops who
drove out the occupying Nazis in 1945.

They also said that they wanted the site to be rebaptised "Ronald
Reagan Freedom Square."

City hall spokesman Waldemar Bojarun said that Katowice's councillors
would consider the issue.

Bojarun said that he had "enormous respect" for Reagan.

However, he said, the proposal could cost an estimated 500,000 zlotys
(128,000 euros, 168,000 dollars) and the city had "other pressing
needs."

There are already separate plans to erect a statue in memory of Reagan
in the centre of the Polish capital, Warsaw, which would be paid-for
from private funds.

Reagan, who dubbed the Soviet Union an "evil empire," is widely
credited by Poles with having driven communism to the wall.

The conservative Republican made fighting communism the cornerstone of
his 1980-1988 presidency, and backed Poland's Solidarity trade union
after it went underground when the regime declared martial law in
1981.

Reagan died in June 2004 at the age of 93.

I am not an admirer of Reagan so I won't comment on the idea but
I dislike what seems to a current fashion to stick someone's
name in front of a perfectly good existing name. We have a
couple of recent examples around here: "Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport" and, even longer, "Thurgood Marshall Baltimore
Washington International Airport". I must admit that a lot of
people, both conservative and liberal, still use "National" and
"BWI".

The Russkies no doubt feel thrilled about the way
Robber Ronny Raygun set the USA up to be
bankrupted for its massive debt.

Putin will have a Putsch statue in Red Square, too.

Their country is called Denial.

Not wanting to start another US bashing thread or anything, but I too
roll my eyes when hearing the 'f' word used about things American.

No, he didn't. It's a lame forgery by known net-psychotic Stephen
Bach, a no-life loser who can't figure out anything better to do with
his so-called "life" than stalk others and vent his hatred.

Bach badly needs a pre-frontal lobotomy, preferably done with
unsterilized rusty instruments.

What the heck does this pedantry matter? The original may have
been a fake as the cross-posting might indicate but the subject
is interesting and my post was not an attack!

Observe a sociopath at work. You can tell who they are by their postings.

This particular sickie is

1) a homophobe

2) hates women

3) hates intellectuals

4) and does not use his real name (which is Stephen Bach)

5) and a physical and moral coward.
