Happy Birthday to the Gipper!

Number 40

Born Feb. 6, 1911 in Tampico, Ill.

A movie star in politics?

NOT a legend in his own time

MAN WE MISS HIM.

Happy birthday to our man Ronald Reagan.

I will let you know how many friends delete me. I already had one call me a bigot because of my Islam comments. He was a childhood neighbor who is gay and loves Obama.

Happy Birthday President Reagan!

These days I’m feeling like he’s our Obi-Wan kenobi. “Help us President Reagan, you’re our only hope!”

Because I do hope he’s doing all he can from where he is to help us Americans.

“Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships.”

— Ronald Reagan

President Ronald Reagan:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States
where men were free."

— President Ronald Reagan

“Almost all the world’s constitutions are documents
in which governments tell the people what their privileges are.
Our Constitution is a document in which
‘We the people’ tell the government what it is allowed to do.
‘We the people’ are free.”
- President Ronald Reagan

I dont have very many lib friends. I am not one that adds people just to have a lot of people.. but some from my past are very obvious libs....

The other day this is what I posted on my wall:(had three comments & all from FReepers)

What’s more important than politics? Well, God and family. AND, because those are important, Politics too must be a part of our life’s journey to protect legacy and to provide a secure future for those we love in a God protected state. Disagree? check out how the totalitarian states began... ever so innocently often.

Is that a photoshop image considering the closeness of the carrier to land?

The picture was originally a US Navy issue in the public domain.

Thanks for posting!

Hi Dolly, thanks for the ping and thanks for honoring Pres. Reagan’s birthday. He was so positive and inspirational. In fact he represented the American dream. I did not appreciate him as much at the time because I thought it was simply to be expected that such natural talent would rise to the top. Silly me.

Compared to our current negative, progressive White House occupant, President Reagan looks like a saint!

You are sorely missed #40. And you are in our prayers on this, your special day.
