Many on the left couldn't let Ronald Reagan go gently into that good night with getting in one last vitriolic blast. His crime? Apparently he hated poor people, in spite of winning re-election in a landslide, which by definition would have required votes from some people who were probably poor. It is hard to keep up with the definition of poor since it changes depending on whether you are talking to some lefty about the problem of wealth concentration (only 2% have anything!), tax reform (the middle class majority is getting screwed!), or job creation (sure there are new jobs, but they are all at Taco Bell or picking vegetables for Taco Bell!).

But I digress. These people couldn't mark Reagan's passing with grudging respect, or maybe some minor acknowledgement, or at the very least, with silence. After all, he thought Communism was evil (gasp!), and even worse, that ketchup should be considered a vegetable when determining school lunch dietary guidelines. Compare that to the reaction to Yasser's death - the glorification, the weepful mourning, the lack of condemnation - from those same people - at the passing of Yasser Arafat, father of terrorism and murderer of children.

To summarize, Reagan helped free and save the lives of millions of people in a bloodless victory. Yasser invented modern terrorism. Which one do America's lefties imagine burning in hell again?
