Today marks the 25th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s famous “tear down this wall” speech delivered before the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on June 12, 1987.
It is a reminder not only of President Reagan’s oratorical brilliance but also of his steadfast leadership on the world stage. For the Gipper was a president who, together with Margaret Thatcher, brought down the might of the Soviet Empire, liberated hundreds of millions from Communist tyranny, and restored US leadership after the decline of the Carter years and the Vietnam era.
Reagan was uncompromising in his opposition to the Soviet Union and his defence of freedom, driven by his belief in American exceptionalism and the unique role the United States must play in standing up to tyranny and advancing the cause of liberty

Great! Just tweeted the article.
Don’t let Susie find a boyfriend/girlfriend. They’re like rabbits. LOL
Don’t know where she came from but if she starts bringing in relatives she’s history.
“My pet cockroach Susie towers above Obamamugabe as a leader.”
...and I mean this in all seriousness. Susie 2012!
Don’t trade her in for a Roo. :)
Isn’t fascinating that some of us find a pet cockroach to be more interesting than BHO??
FUBO would would have to stand on a ladder to kiss Reagan’s ***.

The cockroach is a better creature than BHO.
BHO is a true enemy of good.
Because he was one?
I absolutely detest seeing President Reagan’s name in the same sentence as this POS.
President Reagan loved this country and this vile POS sub-human and his guerrilla of a wife currently defacing the White House hates the USA.
Talk about night and day.
Reagan destroyed “the evil empire”...Obama thinks he’s president of it.
She likes peanut butter but then, if relatives show up she’s toast.
Some of them ‘roo’s can be awfully dangerous. The big red’s especially. They’re like 12’ when standing upright.
I think she’s an orphan. Never see any others running around with her. Or him. Looks like a Susie anyways.
Haven’t there been some Roo attacks on people recently?

Very nice picture. Cute friend you have there. Looks like a young one. Will they stay docile if befriended early on?
Thanks much.
Two decades later, for Barack Obama in 2008, Berlin was little more than a hubristic campaign stop where he could bask in the worship of adoring German youth en route to the White House, introducing himself as “a fellow citizen of the world.” A year on, as president, he could not even be bothered to attend the city’s celebrations commemorating the 20th anniversary of the downfall of the Berlin Wall in 2009, which National Review Editor Rich Lowry appropriately described at the time as “the most telling nonevent of his presidency.”Reagan was a giant.
Barry is a gnat.
Thanks so much for sharing, SkyDancer.
Be safe and enjoy your great country.
BTW, a friend of mine recently retired from the US Navy. He spent time in Perth and loved it.
