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.

Excellent! I have people in the family and from the past that I know are Liberal. Some made the fatal mistake of voting for Hussein. I would love to ask them if they are happy now.

He was the greatest leader of our nation.

My favorite quote:

My fellow Americans I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.

Scared the Russkies right out of there skin, because they knew he had the guts to do it.

Once we had Reagan now we have O’dumbarse.

I visited the Libray a couple weeks ago and it is outstanding. Well worth the trip. The recently retired Air Force One is also housed there and on display.

Like George Washington, and very few presidents between their administrations, President Ronald W. Reagan was a great and good man!

Happy Birthday. You'll never be forgotten as long as there are conservatives and tea parties left in this nation.

Who's that guy on the right? Certainly not Clint Eastwood.

No, it's that old CFR warrior who threw the Reagan legacy under the bus!

Thanks for this thread DollyCali. It’s a wonderful reminder to us all of how desparetly we need to take action to make OUR dreams reality once again.

Ronald Reagan did what he could to provide us a glimpse of what matters, but in subsequent Leftist Administrations we allowed ourselves to be pushed by the Leftist Presidents using one hand behind our backs, and the other hand on our shoulders in another direction. Note that both Clinton, and Obama have the same authoritive controlling habit of pushing people in the direction they want them to go. The Leftists are a pushy lot. We must push back.

This thread you started should remind us all of the necessity of Conservatism. We have to take back our country, and fix it to the point the Leftists cannot achieve what they have achieved ever again.

It is truly amazing that Obama makes Clinton look like a GREAT president. Clinton understood the importance of making money. Obama lives to give it away.
