What does that image mean to convey?

I’m certain I knew this fact, but without this wonderful article to rattle my memory, I would have never independently remembered, so thank you so much for this posting!!

[onyx]

Absolutely agree.

I’d love to see it in my lifetime, but I’m content to pray for the honor to one day be granted to President Reagan.

[Randy Larsen]

Thank You for reminding me! We WILL have a new sunrise when this is all over.

I was thinking after I posted the pic that if they can project a rainbow on the White House we could project the face of Ronald Reagan on Mount Rushmore.

Wouldn't that make for great July 4th celebration complete with fireworks?

Shame on you!

Can’t keep your petty politics off this thread about the late, great Merle Haggard and President Reagan!

NO, you have to bring your candidate onto this thread to spoil it.

FWIW, your candidate is NOTHING like President Reagan who was honest, charming, likeable and LOVED. Plus he was the 2-term Governor of the Golden State prior to running for POTUS, NOT a junior senator and most certainly, RWR was NOT a damn lawyer!

[onyx]

SMILING!

YES!

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree with that. He faced down Russia in the Cold War.

I just love the rewrites folks try to pawn off these days.

NOT!

[DoughtyOne]

That sums it up for me.

Ted has done absolutely nothing to qualify him to be president.

NOTHING!

Thank you for the references and concern. I’ve heard Bishop Sheen’s name many times. There was a Father Finn on staten island that was moving up the ranks ;) don’t know what happened to him.

don’t feel old. Mom’s 83 and drives two or three hour trips with no problem. My aunt anna is 95 and can pretty much do the same. It’s a different world now :)

“Ted has done absolutely nothing to qualify him to be president.”

Plus he comes across a slimy, like Jim Baker. There’s no way he could win the general. He creeps me out!

[wyowolf]

Other than being symbolic, what good did this actually do?

[Fresh Wind]

There will never be another Reagan.

[panaxanax]

..very humble man Merle Haggard and there will never ever be another.

Hate to burst your bubble, but in real life he was a drug-addled, whore-mongering, rude, obnoxious alcoholic when I lived across the lake from him back in the late 70’s.

BUT I loved his music and songwriting ability.

[Vendome]

Irony...

[DoughtyOne]

What creeps me out, is that this man has hoodwinked so many people.

Ted Cruz is a downright insult to any thinking person, once you consider his life experience, and that he now thinks he’s the U. S. last best hope.

He is delusional and his followers are non thinking people.

You're not the only person who knew him in the late 70's - my aunt Grace worked at Capitol Records during that era and she said the exact opposite - nevertheless - the 1970's were 45 years ago

Ted couldn’t hold a candle to Reagan.

BS He is just like Reagan.. Ask Micheal!

[tallyhoe]

We’ll have a Latino Reagan in the Whitehouse!

We will and He can speak espanole! Kinda.
