I just watched FOXNews and the anchor there gave a little blurb on the sunset service for President Reagan. She said that the President was finally home where he will be laid to rest at the Presidential Library and that his two children Patty and Ron spoke and there was a little bit of what Ron said. All 3 gave tribute and they were all wonderful. But for FOX to leave out Michael is an insult to him and if he is not hurt and offended I am for him.
I was roaming around the internet and went to FOXNews and found a link that had the order for events for the service in the DC Cathedral, The words to the hymns were printed so you can find the words to The Mansion of The Lord.
I printed it out and if you choose to do so make sure you have plenty of paper in your tray...
All of their tribures were lovely and moving. Shame on Fox. I lost it when Nancy went to the casket for the last itme.
I can't believe how they cut Micheal out of darned near every shot that included the family. I fell asleep so mad over his mistreatment. Now they aren't even mentioning his Eulogy?
What's up with that anyway? He seems so normal compared to the other two, and the most like Reagan.
Have you seen where Bernard Shaw says that the "Media" did Reagan a mis-service for all the good things they never reported about him? Yeah.. now someone admits to their bias, but it will never stop.
Hell.. it hasn't stopped.. witness how they left Micheal out of everything they possibly could even now.
Oh I did see Jane Wyman there.. I would have never known who she was tho.. She was wearing an odd pair of glasses shaded on the sides, and was almost crippled and frail. She had to have assistance..
It is appaling how Michael was treated by the media. I would have expected better of Fox though. It seems they're getting more like the others all the time.
Yes.. I am finding it hard to believe in just about anything today.
I really do think we are all a bunch of Sheeople, and being lead down a very un-rosy path.
It kills me to think like that, but if you read any news from elsewhere you find other truths and they don't always reflect our American character, at least not the ones that I"m proud of..
It's time for us to reflect on who we really are, and what we as Americans really approve of.
The funeral is over, and there is a lot of news that has to be caught up on.
I just hope that Ronald Reagan is not remembered by history as the last great American president. There was a nagging part of me throughout the memorial services and other events surrounding his death, as I watched and experienced genuine grief for his loss, that couldn't help but wonder if the death of Ronald Reagan would mark the beginning of the end of America, land of the free and home of the brave. I hope not.
The more you look around Libby, the more it could possibly be true.
I am having big doubts about us. When did we, as a country change? I haven't, but I have a feeling lots of us have been left behind.
I am a Patriot, but I can't be blinded by it. We could use a Ronald Reagan right now I think.
That is not the thoughts Pres Reagan would feel those who know him should be engaging.
Reagan reinteated over and over told where his optimist comes from.......reading scriptures, pray and the Lord substaining his people.
He knew there were more good folks, than the media revealed and all they needed was to be stroked.
I think it is time to get back and feed the noble part of the soul.
It was wonderful to see so many at his funeral because they loved him. But they will wilt if they don't honor who they are themselves.
Faith is hope for things unseen. One way to show our actions is to restore dignity of our various institutions.
If we go to a ball game we weare the cloths for such, or if we go to the beach or a picnic that is were wear shorts etc.
If we go shopping or movies we should wear proper casual. Some other events require our Sunday best.
It is how we think and our mind project repect for what we have if we don't other nations will just feel justified in their judgment of us.
We should not dress down to feel we are not better than others for our minds become careless and slovenly.
This kind of respect for the noble soul will carry over in all that we do!
We must always remember who we are a child of God and like Pres Reagan he employed those atributes in all that he did.
We can not kindle our being if we are neglectful to the things that fine tune us!
Years the ago when schools were build for higher learning be they kindergarder up, the architecture made us as children look up even if they came from the slumps they had something to uplife the soul and strive for.
I pray some how we can start chapters all across America to rekindle the American spirit.
Ronald Reagan is our gift in this era and we must not forget the rest of our legacy from all throught the ages!
He passed the tourch on and we will pick it up .. I have no doubt of that
Very well said.
We haven't .. It's always been there .. the left just tried to convience people not to remember .. and it didn't work
Look at these pictures
This is what you call Love, Honor And RESPECT!
President Reagan lives on in ALL of us

Our roll as citizens must nurture what we have and there is light on the horizone GWB. He is still standing inspite of all he must endur.
I am proud of him for even thought much of the world appears to have contempt for the US, and the nation might seem to waver Bush is still stands tall.
Faith is things hoped for unseem!
So what is the American Spirit willing to exercise?
we are promised that we will be substaind by the Almight if we honor our convenants!
Henry Ford had a saying -
If you think you can or if you think you can't you are both right!
For now our schools have neglected to nuture our US Heritage, so it is up to the citizens to restore "America Legacy" These chapters can be created in the homes to start.
Amen to that, Mo.
