I can’t imagine even Reagan, if he replaced the asshole in the White House, would be able to reverse and repair the total damage that has been done these past 5 years . . . and, needless to say, all of which was done under the watchful eye of what we used to call the Republican Party . . . the totall STUPID PARTY!
I remember the day very well. I was unemployed at the time and sat on my bed weeping for over a week. I was inconsolable during the funeral coverage.
RIP Ronald Reagan
We miss you now more than ever.
I remember a video, taken from a helicopter, of the hearse winding its way up to the Simi Valley burial site and some guy running alongside it with a huge American flag. My own reaction to that scene came as a surprise to me.
Minnesota 6th district voters, we must get this done. Tom Emmer has the potential to do great things for our nation.
Please help.
Dutch, we could use a little help from you and the "Big Guy" if you could swing it.
We sure miss ya'!
While I miss his steady hand immensely, I am glad he didn’t have to see what passes for ‘conservatism’ today...and in his name. Today, ‘lesser evils’ rule the day, not standing on principle. And my how people hate hearing that.
Truth often does hurt though.
I had no idea it was that long ago. It seems like only a couple of years.
I too am finished with the Republican party. I will probably keep my registration as a Republican just so I can vote in the primary. I may even vote for Republicans but not because that is what they are.
Obama is much worse than I thought he would be and I thought he would be a monster.
Thank you for reminding me that a great American passed to his Heavenly reward that day.
I recall that Lady Margaret Thatcher was unable to attend the funeral but paid her respects with a recorded video.
President Reagan’s death came ten years after he announced he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
They are both sorely missed.
Mrs. Thatcher rode with the Reagan family on Air Force One from Washington, DC to California.
Thanks for posting LB. I doubt the Brits or us will ever see that kind of
leadership ever again. Reagan and The Iron Lady. Two giants of liberty!
God bless them both.
So true Norm.
Has it really been nine years?
I was at Fort McCoy, WI, undergoing a training course. Classes shut down for the funeral, and every day room was jammed.
We need you now, Dutch...
Thank you President Reagan for showing me the way, politically speaking.
I am glad you are spared from witnessing what has happened
to America. You were so optimistic, that you would not like
my tagline, but its true.
This would mean that it has been nine years since I walked through the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, to see President Reagan lying in state, with closed casket.
I couldn’t pass up that opportunity to pay my respects to the man.
I have visited his grave a number of times.
I still remember Mr. President. I thank you once again for your service to our nation.
It seems like a lifetime ago, it seems like yesterday. Rest in peace, Mr. President.
