Does anybody know where I can find a video clip of Reagan's speech closing the 1976 Republican Convention. I'm reading "Reagan's Revolution" and the author keeps referring to that speech as the turning point for the conservative movement. Yet I can't find it anywhere online!

I saw Barletta being interviewed about the book on TV, and jumped online and got it at the Columbus Library.

Excellent book!

"Hey! I am rugged and sturdy too!

When Hillary isn't beating me up, throwing ashtrays at my head, or scratching my face with her long nails....

This struck me:

I particularly enjoyed the stories about the KGB agents who accompanied Gorbachev and how they had never known anything other than a uniform Communist system. Barletta tells us that some of the agents were even fascinated by simple things like a gas pump and a department store.

I hope future generations will never know what we went through, as Cold Warriors. To stare down an empire that created people who couldn't understand the freedom to create simple things like we know, today.

A nation that couldn't comprehend something like a Sam's or a Costco, where food is available in such bulk and mass.

To be lied to on an hourly basis about everything on TV or radio or in print.

But I think that last one has almost arrived...

I've got my U.S. Postal Service Reagan stamps - I always use one when I send letters to friends.

Mr President was, is, always will be the MAN!

I cannot believe it is nearly a year since his passing.

We will never see his like again. How blessed we were to have been alive with him.

Thanks for the post.

To think that nowadays posters dare to put the current little banty rooster in the same category as this once in a century leader is distressing.

The last poll I seen Reagan was voted the greatest president of the 20th century and it's well deserved.
