Oakley Goes Moonbat
Oakley is famous for making high-end sunglasses, ski goggles, and frag-resistant sunglasses used by the military and law enforcement. Last year they were bought out by the Italian company Luxottica, which also owns Ray-Ban. Apparently they are positioning their product for the moonbat end of the marketplace:
Nearly 20 years after he left office, moonbats still think it's daring to stick out their tongues at Ronaldo Maximus. Oakley's site explains the moronic ad as
a fiendish satire of authoritarianism, jingoism and a few more "-isms" we'd have to look up.
Incredibly, the guy who stood down communist totalitarianism, and whose philosophy was best summed up in his famous quote "government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem," is still passed off as the personification of authoritarianism.
There is nothing you can't get an idiot to swallow by telling him it's trendy — which explains the success of the Obama campaign.
Hat tip: Free Republic; on a tip from Oiao.

Oakleys are de riguer in the baseball world. I personally don't wear them, but I do wear way farers. This is a problem. They're prescription.

Just trying to finish up the workday but I stumbled across an interview with this "luminary" on an pretty "interesting" site (caution links to an "alt-cult" website that publishes pornography among other things):

Hey, c'mon. Have a litte fun at the expense of Ronald Reagan. I know we wingnuts consider him a god, but he gassed his own people, including me, when he was govenor of California.
And sold arms to the Iranians. In exchange for hostages.
I live in Tejas now. Where a man can be a man who pokes fun at our dead icons. And wear whatever damn sunglassses I choose to.

Reagan ushered in the "age of stupidity" we are now currently mired in. Anti-intellectual, chest thumping, empty flag waving hypocrisy marked his terms. He sold weapons illegaly to our mortal enemies as American cities rotted, and unemplyment rose.
Reagan was second rate B actor and third rate president, who got all you wing nuts wet in the panties as he mumbled through more "welll, I .....don't recalls" than my grandpa--

To Who's Your Army Dad?: He didn't gas those Marxist rioters enough-most of them went on to cause more social rot.
To Anonymous: You'd know for sure about anti-intellectualism according to your inaccurate bile.

Chris,
Yep, gassing me when I was a four-year-old radicalized me. So your saying I should have been killed? because it serves some higher wingnut purpose?
YOU'RE SAYING RONALD REAGAN SHOULD HAVE KILLED FOUR-YEAR-OLDS.
You're an idiot.
