Ronald Reagan Statue Coming To Namesake DC Airport

ARLINGTON, Va. - A statue of Ronald Reagan could be coming soon to the former president's namesake airport just across the Potomac River from Washington.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation has inked a deal with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which operates Reagan National and Dulles International Airport, to install the bronze statue of Reagan on a triangle of land in front of Terminal A at the airport.
The foundation hopes to dedicate the statue in the fall of 2011. Authority staff estimates that the project, not including the statue, will cost $445,000. The authority would pay about $80,000 of that amount.
As of last week, the foundation was still selecting a statue.

4. They should depict him trampling over an air traffic controller
That was his "legacy", as far as air travel is concerned
And a damned good legacy, but too bad it didn't affect other government unions.

9. Meet you there with a rope and some cable.
I wonder if we'd get positive airtime for pulling that abomination down.

32. They would probably have us tazed and shot full of holes a billion times
before we even got the rope around his evil neck...but I'm game!
That sounds like a perfect plan for a DU meet up. Just post the details online first with plenty of notice.

Well I hope they put plenty of security around it, I have no doubt scum bag liberals are going to mess with it.

Don't read that thread if you're in a bad mood. It's vile. I hates the DUmmies.

Speaking purely from a child's POV deregulation was a BAD thing! I can remember quite vividly flying Southern Airlines direct from DC to Gulfport, and playing soccer up and down the aisle, as no one else was in the plane aside from my brother. Oh, I loved those days.
And, as much as I adore Reagan, National is still National to me.

I haven't read the thread yet, and if it's as vile as some have said than I'll just read it later BUT the anger is definitely from jealousy that our guy is still be recognized for his greatness 3 decades later and their guy, even though his election was historic, will most likely become a worse President than Carter.

Deregulation changed the price of a ticket to fly from Los Angles to Oakland from $535.00 to $73.00.

Hey man. I was a kid. I didn't pay anything for the ticket. All I know is I had free reign of an airplane, and all the soda I could drink. :-)

What part of "illegal strike" escapes you?
Reagan had every right to fire every single air traffic controller.
Tell me when the last time then went on strike after that?

It's a whole different ballgame now sweetheart. Most of that being because of the cost of oil/jet fuel. You can thank the Democrats/hippies for that.

You mean "pop" right? :fuelfire:

I know, everything is a "coke" in Texas, whether it is a Sprite, Dr. Pepper or Orange Crush.

There is no way Cherry County, Nebraska calls Pop Soda.

30 years ago the majority of west Texas called it all Dr Pepper.

Thanks!

When I was a kid in S.C., daddy ran a country store. I heard everything but "soda" yet the map says it's 50 to 80 percent "soda" here.....people asked for soft drinks, cold drinks, drinks, cokes, coke-a-colas, Pepsi's, R-O-C coke-a-cola's. ales but never sodas.
Had a Yankee come in one day and ask if we had any sodas. I told him he had to go to the drugstore uptown to get those....LOL....I can still hear my daddy's response when I told him what the guy wanted..."DAMMIT BOY! He wanted a drink".
And the term "Dope" comes from the cotton mills. They had a guy that came around in the mills with a wagon that had drinks, candy, sandwiches, etc. on the wagon. The wagon was called "The Dope Wagon" and he usually had the small green bottle COKES on it and they were called "Dopes" by the mill hands. You could usually tell by the term "Dope" for soft drinks if a person worked in the cotton mills.

We call it soda.

I was an Ohio girl, who then visited Long Island. I was roundly ridiculed for calling it "pop." I had no idea, I was young and naive.
