Very gripping. The bravery of the men is moving.

I had voted for McGovern, but by the time Carter came around I was of the "don't vote; it only encourages them" belief. And when Reagan appeared I believed the "nuclear cowboy" rhetoric the liberals applied to him.

But soon after I had a forceable growing up life experience. I became a Christian and began to see things differently. I voted again in 84, for Reagan. He had given me something to believe in for America and the world.

I previously thought Carter was a benign fool, but what I've been learning about his and his VP, Mondale's, disdain for Israel and idiotic support for various dictatorships has changed my mind about the binignity. These idiots are dangerous. And it's usually the good who pay for their mistakes, as in this tragic tale. May God keep them from power.

Thanks for the bump. One of the great things about Free Republic is seeing a post you made come back to life a year and a half later. Hopefully Free Republic plans someday to unlock some of the really old posts I used to make here (pre-9/11).
