Ronald Reagan Dies at 93

[dogbyte12]

ABC just announced :( Ronald Reagan was 93

[So Cal Rocket]

Well...it only took CBS 12 minutes after the announcement of his death to mention Iran-Contra.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Goodbye, God Bless and Thank You Mr President. You were one of my hero's and I, and my children, will be forever in your debt.

[B Knotts]

Wonderful picture...I'm having a hard time maintaining my composure.

He represented so much that is good about America.

[floriduh voter]

How are you doing? sad ping.

[sweetliberty]

Rest in peace Mr. President.

[zip]

Peace at last. God Bless this man and his family.

[ambrose]

Yes... Maureeen and Lucky are there waiting for him.

I never understood why folks wept openly when FDR died. I was too young.

Yeah, We are still free because of thes two men.

"Mr Gorbachov(sp) tear down this wall!" beat the Hell out of "Ich bin ein Berliner".(I am a jelly doughnut)

Aw, Man.

[Gator113]

RIP good and gentle soul. With all of my heart, thank you so much for the difference that your life made for so many.

Heaven is truly a better place today.

"Oh I Have Slipped
The Surly Bonds of Earth...
Put Out My Hand
And Touched the Face of God"

And today dear sir, you have.

[Heart of Georgia]

I rejoice for him because of that...but I'm so sad for us.

[Awestruck]

There is a certain peace in knowing that his suffering is over. God rest his soul, one of the greatest presidents to ever live.

[B Knotts]

Ditto. I thought I was prepared for this, but the emotions are pretty much overwhelming.

[Wait4Truth]

Fox said President Bush will be releasing a statement from Paris.

"Oh I Have Slipped The Surly Bonds of Earth... Put Out My Hand And Touched the Face of God"

Tears. We'll never see his like again.

I'm going to turn off the TV now. I've already heard too much from these damn Presidential historians. The President's body isn't even cold yet and they're launching into attack. They aren't fit to mention Ronald Reagan's name let alone criticize him.

[Issaquahking]

It is a terrible loss for the nation, but a tremendous move forward for Ronald Reagan to go home after 10 years with Alzheimer's. What a horrid disease that rob's the soul but leaves the body to exist.

God bless you President Reagan, You were truly on of America's best while you were here with us, rest in peace.

It would be nice if no running DU commentary or political campaigning was done on this thread.

Agreed - there'll be plenty of opportunity to watch the Rats dance on President Reagan's grave in the coming days and weeks. That sight will be on the mainstream media 24/7. It'll be nice if we can have one place that's free of that poison.

Click on praying hands. Bagpipes.

Thank you so much for that link...

Gone to take up residence in the shiniest city on the highest hill.

Farewell, good and faithful servant. And flights of angels wing thee to thy rest.

I switched parties in 1976 to vote for him in the Florida Republican primary, then voted for him two more times in 1980 and 1984, the years he won. A truly great man. He brought down the greatest evil in the world without firing a shot. No one in human history will ever equal that accomplishment.
