Catholic Activist Calls for The Removal of Michael Reagan From Notre Dame High School’s Board Of Directors

June 23, 2008
To all concerned parties,
My name is Martin Hill. I was born and raised in Southern California and attended parochial schools for 12 years, along with my 5 siblings. I am writing to you today regarding a situation involving Michael Reagan, who sits on the board of directors of Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, CA. Reagan is one of 24 members on the board and is listed as an ‘Alumni Parent’. http://ndhs.org/ndhs.php?ids=926
On their mission statement, the school’s website states: ‘The mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart. While we prepare useful citizens for society, we shall likewise do our utmost to prepare citizens for eternal life." http://ndhs.org/ndhs.php?ids=931
On Monday June 16th, Clear Channel radio station KFI AM 640 Los Angeles, in their 8:30AM News hour, covered the story of radio talk show host Michael Reagan being investigated by the FBI for making death threats on his radio show, against anti-war activist Mark Dice. ( http://markdice.com )
Dice, who heads a Christian group called ‘The Resistance’ based in San Diego, had recently appeared on the FOX News Network
discussing his group’s campaign to send dvds to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan outlining reasons why they should oppose the war:
watch video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=l-FwDEuVp78
Michael Reagan subsequently called for the assassination of Mark Dice on his nationally syndicated radio show: Watch: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6N4V3imUv2k
Dice immediately issued a press release denouncing the remarks, http://www.theresistancemanifesto.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=96 filed a criminal complaint with the FBI against Reagan, and called for his immediate firing.
As the news website ‘Raw Story’ later reported, Reagan, the son of the late president Ronald Reagan said:
http://rawstory.com/news08/2008/06/15/radio-talk-show-host-calls-for-murder-of-anti-war-activist/
"We ought to find the people who are doing this," Reagan said, "take ‘em out, and shoot ‘em. Really. Just find the people who are sending those letters- to demoralize our troops- they are traitors to this country-and shoot them. You have a problem with that? Deal with it. But anybody who would do that doesn’t deserve to live. You call them traitors-that’s what they are- and you shoot ‘em dead. I’ll pay for the bullet."
"How about you take Mark Dice out," Reagan continued, �and put him in the middle of the firing range? Tie him to a post, don’t blindfold him, and let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice."
On Sunday, Dice announced on his website that he received a personal apology from Reagan and will appear on Reagan’s show to receive an on-air apology Monday, June 16th, at 3:30pm Pacific.
"While I understand different political opinions can result in heated arguments, Reagan’s statements are completely unacceptable, un-American, and extremely dangerous," Dice said. "Reagan has elevated the hate and rhetoric aimed at those who disagree with this war to new and unprecedented level. He must be fired immediately and no other radio or TV network should let his voice be heard, or his face be seen.
"Despite Reagan’s apology," Dice continued, "the Pandora’s box that he opened can never be closed. The ramifications of his threats and suggestions are enormous and frightening. In an age where a few clicks of a keyboard can result in anyone’s home address being found, Reagan’s comments open the door for stalking, vandalism, and worse. Any threats made will be forwarded immediately to the FBI and the appropriate legal action will be taken."
News website Buzzzflash then reported some previous comments made by Reagan, advocating the murder and genocide of muslim babies and their mothers:
http://mediaputz.com/08/06/putz0619.html
Then a YouTube posting of a Michael Reagan broadcast from a couple of years back finally got noticed for what it was: genocidal threats against Muslim babies and mothers, because some Middle Eastern mother named her child "Hezbollah."
"You know what I would get them for a first birthday, I would put a grenade up their butts and light it. Happy birthday. Bye-Bye." He went on to say, "What’s wrong with killing the mothers and the babies?" It only gets more macabre and defiantly homicidal from thereMichael Reagan–presidential son and top-rated talk show host–shares his sick ideas on how to solve trouble in the Middle East on 8/15/2006. First he advocates killing babies by inserting "a grenade up their butts," then he claims we will achieve peace "when everybody in the Middle East is dead." [

Numerous news outlets and internet blogs then followed up with coverage on the story. Mike Malloy, syndicated radio host with NOVA radio also http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ma02-ZZgrEM covered the topic. Under pressure, Reagan spoke to Dice in a pre-recorded interview Monday morning June 16th, which aired later Monday afternoon. In the arguementative and hostile interview, Reagan offered a supposed apology that Dice doubts is sincere, and ended with the snide comments that he hoped Dice "had his 30 minutes of fame". Dice, who has reportedly recieved numerous death threats since Reagan’s original broadcast, told Reagan that he should be held legally and civilly accountable.
Part 1 of the June 16 Interview with Reagan and Dice: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bO9bfuxIjmM&feature=related
Part 2 http://youtube.com/watch?v=vxmh2qfqJsE
On their website, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Catechism document on Intentional homicide states:
http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art5.htm
2268 The fifth commandment forbids direct and intentional killing as gravely sinful. The murderer and those who cooperate voluntarily in murder commit a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance. [69] Infanticide, [70] fratricide, parricide, and the murder of a spouse are especially grave crimes by reason of the natural bonds which they break. Concern for eugenics or public health cannot justify any murder, even if commanded by public authority.
2269
The fifth commandment forbids doing anything with the intention of indirectly bringing about a person’s death. The moral law prohibits exposing someone to mortal danger without grave reason, as well as refusing assistance to a person in danger.

Whether or not Americans are satisfied with the government’s investigation into 9/11 ( http://patriotsquestion911.com ) or whether they approve of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is largely inconsequential to this e-mail, although I must point out that the Catholic church, including Pope Benedict and Pope John Paul II before him, as well as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, have spoken out against the current wars. Also, these undeclared wars do not meet the requirements for the ‘Just War Doctrine’ outlined in our Catechism.
In the homily at Mass yesterday, the priest reiterated how Jesus said four times in the Gospel not to be afraid. The priest explained that we must not be afraid to stand up and challenge authority. People of all faiths, not just Catholics, in California and across the world, are working towards peace and will not be belittled, devalued and threatened.
We stand behind Mark Dice and insist on respect for all human life. For a person such as Reagan who regularly advocates such outrageous racial and religous hatred as well as calls for murderous threats and genocide, it is completely unacceptable for him to hold a position of authority, prestige and influence over 1200 Catholic school students and their education. I and others of faith join together in this call for the immediate removal of Michael Reagan from the Board of Directors of Notre Dame Catholic High School in Sherman Oaks CA. This Thursday, June 26th we will be presenting an official petition to you, your school’s president Br. William Nick CSC, Principal Stephanie Connnely, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger Mahony, as well as The Holy Cross Institute, whose home is at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas.
http://www.holycrossinstitute.org/ . According to Notre Dame’s website, it was http://ndhs.org/ndhs.php?ids=704 Founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1947.
I hope you will take this request in the spirit that it is intended.
Those people who wish to add their name to this petition can do so by e-mailing me at libertyhill@live.com Please put the word ‘PETITION’ in the subject line. Include your name, e-mail address, City, as well as comments if you wish, and phone number if you would like a reply. For those requesting media interviews, please put MEDIA in the subject line.
We request that prompt action be taken at the local level and if not, we will petition the Cardinal. The Holy Cross website points out that
"The diocesan bishop has the right of vigilance over and visitation of the Catholic schools located in his territory, even those schools which have been established or are being directed by members of religious institutes; he is likewise competent to issue prescriptions dealing with the general regulation of Catholic schools; such prescriptions are also operative for those schools which are directed by religious, with due regard for their autonomy regarding the internal management of their schools." (Canon 806.1) http://www.holycrossinstitute.org/documents/glossary.pdf
Sincerely,
Martin Hill
Note: The Notre Dame High School website http://www.ndhs.org/ndhs.php?ids=928 states:
Values: Integral to the Holy Cross educational philosophy is the formation of the whole person. In keeping with this philosophy, Notre Dame bases its mission on these shared values:
Spiritual: We strive to give students a comprehensive understanding of the Catholic faith, a respect for the value of the individual and the experience of a faith community, lived out through liturgy, prayer and service.
Intellectual: We seek a curriculum which meets the highest standards of accreditation and society, which prepares students for college and post-secondary pursuits, and which fully develops students’ skills for communication and critical thinking.
Personal: Notre Dame seeks to shape students who value themselves and others, who apply gospel values in moral decision-making, who have strong aesthetic sense and who exhibit self-discipline and a cooperative spirit.
Communal: Notre Dame aims to promote an active interest in the well-being of others, understanding and acceptance of diverse cultures and an awareness of the responsibilities of citizenship.

1ST!!
REAGAN IS AN IDIOT!
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Whether you agree with Ronald Reagan’s policies or not, there is no doubt he presented himself as a statesman. When people attacked him, he took the high road.
President Reagan would weep.
June 24th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
micheals dad was 666, george bush and father are the images of 666 and control Gog, and Magog (ma=previous or next?) And everything we are experiencing is to kill us all as revenge for satan being kicked out of heaven, and cast down to earth. predictble events surrounding us all because everything is instant, just slowed by gravity so we can have some fun suffering for nothing appearently…
June 24th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Neversun -
Right on…Gog and Magog. I think those guys have been fucking with my car, it’s not running like it used to, and I noticed some strange numbers behind the steering wheel. I’m not sure what they mean but I’m convinced that Satan has been putting them there, taunting me. They keep changing, it’s ridiculous. Anyway, I was going to say, are you the guy who tried to assassinate Reagan? If not you might want to look him up, I think you guys would get along.
As for Satan…what a fucking douche bag, am I right? We all have to suffer so he can have his revenge against God? That’s not right. It’s not cool at all. God created him, God created us, and God knew all of this would happen…but he must have some great plan, maybe like a pizza party or something when it’s all over? I hope so. I like pepperoni.

President Reagan would give a generic sound clip and many Americans would promptly lick his ass.
Nothin’ aggravates more than people who think Ronald Reagan shit gold and oozed joy. They guy was an tool and a murderer, just like every other politician. He is/was responsible for the formation of who-knows-how-many death squads in Latin America.
And everyone gives him credit for DESTROYING THE SOVIET UNION WITH HIS BARE HANDS, even though years and years of previous policy, starting with the end of WWII, had brought it down…
Wow, what a great guy. He cared so much about America that he was willing to kill thousands (if not millions) of Hispanic women and children, and steal credit for the dismantling of a declining super power. What a swell guy.
And he wouldn’t weep at what his moron son said… He’d probably drool because his brain was full of holes, then he’d stick a Salvadorian baby with a bayonet.
And I want pineapple on my pizza. Thank you very much, GAD.

A simple observation. Michael Reagan is a cowardly punk. So is Limbaugh, so is Savage and all of the rest. These punks will and always have run from every fight that came their way whether it was as a child or when their time for military service came. Now they hide behind a paid goon squad and shout obscenities at everyone for hire. The shame of it is how worshipped they have been in the past by a large percentage of the Patriot movement.
Let me ask you a question just to point out the differences between the real and the unreal; If you were forced into a room with the likes of Mike Reagan, Limbaugh, Savage, O’Reilly, Hannity or any of these punks would you be feel challenged in any way? Of course not, because you know these punks will be groveling on their knees begging you not to punch them in the mouth. Now, if you were forced into a room with Alex Jones…do you think you better open up a can of whoop-ass real quick before he does? Damn straight and that’s the difference right there. Alex will fight for what he believes in. The aforementioned punks will not, because they don’t believe in anything other than how many zeros are on their paychecks. Besides, these punks were raised to expect the rest of us to carry their weight, and do their fighting.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Can you remember what you had for lunch yesterday?
Once on the Mike Reagan Show, Mike Reagan was really criticizing Clinton for his lying and denying what happened when he had sex / adultery with Monica. I called in to say that rather than lying like a lawyer to say that he (Clinton) can’t remember when he could indeed remember what happened or to say that it depends on what the meaning of the work is is, that Clinton would have done better to wiggle out of it like another scandal-ridden president in a sticky situation who was being asked about a highly significant event in the Iran-Contra Scandal when instead of answering the question he just responded with another question by asking the reporters a question about a very insignificant matter, “Well! … Can you remember what you had for lunch yesterday?” Ronald Reagan then paused briefly for a response to this unexpected question that he raised. When they were not able to quickly answer the question, he then quickly added, “Well! … You see, that’s just my point! If you can’t remember what you had for lunch yesterday, how do you expect me to remember what something that happened many months ago!?” This was a clever way out of giving an answer – honest or dishonest. Reagan avoided the question completely, even though he had lied to the American people on other occasions about events in Central America and about U.S. government involvement there to help prop up the drug-running Contra hoodlums, death squads, and terrorists. El Salvador was known for the death squads but the Nicaraguan Contras acted the same – with brutality toward combatants and civilians (non-combatants) alike. It is known that terrorists target both combatants and non-combatants, depending on how easy of a target they want to hit. Reagan was also good friends with Iraq’s Sadam Hussein and Sadam’s death squad government who Reagan also supported regardless of the lack of human rights and liberty that characterized Sadam’s rule from beginning to end.
( Both Clinton and Reagan were called the “Great Communicators”. They were both Great evaders of the truth. I think Reagan was a little better at it, making him an even greater “Communicator”. ) A thoughtful person noted that “When Clinton lied, no one died.” You can’t make that statement about Reagan. Reagan supported brutal regimes, drug runners, and terrorists who were worse than any East German border guards whom he preached against, and worse than the British colonial rulers who caused people to revolt and throw them out in order to form a new country – the U.S.A. For a reminder of how brutal the British rulers were in the 1770s, one need only watch the movie, “The Patriot” starring Mel Gibson.
Mike Reagan didn’t want to hear this and I was hung up on when he heard me suggest that his dad, Ronnie, was even better at evading the truth with the example I gave between Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton trying to evade the truth. I suggested that Bill Clinton should have used the same lines that his step dad Ronald Reagan used to evade the truth by asking the reporters what they had for lunch yesterday and then saying that if they can’t remember what they had for lunch yesterday, then how can they expect him to remember something that happened many months ago.
The truth hurts, doesn’t it Mike? It only hurts buffoons and fools who think that a scandal-ridden president like Ronald Reagan (who props up bloody death squads, and drug-running terrorists and tells stupid lies to the American people against all common sense about what was happening in Central America) should somehow be on the Eisenhower Dollar instead of Eisenhower. Eisenhower was the greatest Republican President of the century. He was pretty much a scandal free President who warned us against trusting the likes of the Military-Industrial Complex, not to mention the CIA who misled people into supporting a military dictatorship in Guatemala in a 1954 coup-d’etat. Eisenhower was a great liberator during WWII, and a real military officer – the top commanding officer with five stars, unlike someone who only pretended to be a military officer – a Captain in a movie, “The Santa Fe Trail”. All those blind Ronald Reagan loving fools don’t want to pull their heads out or to wake up and smell the coffee or what ever they would smell after they pull their heads out.
The blind Ronald Reagan loving fools all think their crap don’t stink. Fortunately, they are a real minority.
Might I add another title for the greatest Republican President of the last century, “Supreme Allied Commander”. He had five stars, he wasn’t someone reading a script on how to pretend to be an Army Captain in the movie, “The Sante Fe Trail”. - Anyone who suggests that Ronald Reagan should be depicted on the Eisenhower Dollar instead of Eisenhower or on any coins and paper money or on Mount Rushmore or anywhere of dignity like this is just as drugged up as the Fifth Amendment druggie, Rush Limbaugh and all of his wanna-bees. I always thought that if Limbaugh wasn’t on drugs that he ought to be. It turned out later that Rush Limbaugh was indeed on drugs. Although he earlier said on his show that anyone caught illegally using drugs should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, when he (Limbaugh himself) got caught illegally using drugs, he didn’t throw himself on the exuberance of the court to really give it to him because he’s as guilty as a cat with feathers on its chin and then explain how guilty he was. No, No, No. Instead Limbaugh became the Fifth Amendment Druggie. Did you know that Limbaugh also used to be on the dough – sucking up welfare and leaving his first wife to be the bread winner while he (Limbaugh) refrained from working and aimed instead at getting welfare assistance? This fact is listed in the book, “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot”. The book was written by Al Franken and it sure caused Rush Limbaugh to go on a frantic crash diet and loose his fat. Rush Limbaugh still hasn’t lost his idiocy and he never will. Now he is just a Big Idiot and not a fat one. Did you know that Limbaugh has lost even more wives than fat? I lost count on which wife he is married to now. I think it is number four or five. Al Franken is still married to his first wife and leads a much better life.
A caller to a night time radio talk show on a big 50,000 watt AM radio station – KSL in Salt Lake City – once said that unlike Clinton, Ronald Reagan was loyal to his wife. To this the radio talk show host asked, “Which wife? – the first wife or the second wife?” He was clearly a level headed talk show host and not some Rush Limbaugh wanna-bee.
