Trying to put Raygun's image in 3,000 counties.

http://www.salon.com/2016/02/06/theyre_trying_to_deify_ronald_reagan_inside_the_right_wing_plot_to_turn_the_gipper_into_a_modern_day_god/
snip:
This has been the idea behind the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project: rather than let the historic chips fall where they may and leave their man to inertia and thumb vandals, the project wants to keep Ronald Reagan and his ideals in front of the public by naming things for him. Lots of things. How many things? “We want one thing in each county,” says the project’s architect, Grover Norquist.

America has more than three thousand counties, so he’s talking about a lot of Reagan.

Put his image overlooking every pile of $5,000 Pentagon hammers, pot-holed tax starved highway, graveyard holding HIV victims, the graves of the marines killed in Beruit, and a big ass statue on the grounds of the Iranian Embassy, if it ever comes back, celebrating his arms for hostages deal.

That's if you count Alaska's four judicial districts, instead of its 20 or so historic counties. Norquist is a crackpot of the first order.

Commander and Dunce Ronald Raygun did absolutely nothing should be honored around the world. That is the real legacy if this damn idiot. Oh and those missiles to Iran for hostages is another issue.

and show the devotion to him.

Anyone who isn't completely in awe and love is arrested and put in prison.

Why not? It works in North Korea all the time.

In grudging defense of that incompetent puppet, I don't think he'd like to have his image forcibly emblazoned in every county. That's more to the liking of those who are campaigning to have him canonized.
