Despite how any Republican might feel about JFK, FDR, or LBJ, it is hard to imagine one being so petty.
For all of you who don't want to read the story, some Congressional Democrats are talking about renaming Ronald Reagan airport in DC. It's not like choosing NOT to name an airport after him, but they are basically saying, "your legacy is so screwed up, we owe you no respect as a President." It is unbelievable how low the Democrats are willing to go, it makes me sick. Ronald Reagan was a truly great President, and while some disagree with his policies even today, he is owed some respect, especially in death.
I would never ever support renaming JFK airport because I might have disagreed with his policies.
It is truly pathetic what the Dems are trying to do... I hope we hear more about this, because some names need to be named.
Must be some acidic spit to be able to penetrate the ground and reach Reagan's coffin.
But in all seriousness I never believed it was appropriate to rename anything named after a president, unless of course the place was named after Nixon..
Elections have consequences. Your side really screwed the pooch and DC is a Democratic blue area.
Go name an airport in Utah or Oklahoma.... Reagan Airport. Wise Americans don't need to put up with your right wing dogma that says Reagan was a good President.
And BTW JFK Airport is in a Democratic blue area as well. They have the George Bush Turnpike in Dallas...isnt' this good enough for you?
Why should it be. He may have had his faults but he brought the USSR to its knees, bloodlessly (didn't want the liberals fainting all over) and brought mdown the Berlin Wall.
Unless the importance of those events escapes you, it ended the Cold War we'd been "fighting" since the 50s.
I'd say that was noteworthy and more than enough cause for recognition and honors.

Wise Americans would not give a flying fck about having the name of an airport changed, especially not when it boils down to political reasons.
Not everyone thinks Reagan was a great or even a good president.
You'd be surprised how many people saw through the BS and viewed him as a bad actor from Hollywood who continued his career as a bad actor in the White House.
Had there never been a Reagan, there would never have been a Bush.
I think all airports should be named after the location of the airport in question. With that said, renaming of stuff occurs from time-to-time. Look at Sears Tower - the new owners are going to rename it Willis Tower! Blasphemy...
