The enemedia was so clueless, we turned into C-Span which simply had a camera and a voice over at the rotunda where people of all walks of life lined up for hours to pay their respects. Particularly memorable was a white haired old Indian Chief in full headdress.

It didn't end there. Even the migrant workers stepped out of the fields in California and lined the roads to pay their respect on the final leg of the journey of the casket to the Reagan Library. I expect to be in California for a family wedding in a month and will make it a point to go to the library.

Totally clueless. They caught on later, but we already had the TV’s tuned to C-SPAN and I didn’t need to hear the alphabet media wax poetic on a great man that they had nothing but contempt for.

When I watched the national service, and saw Carter and Clinton, I was more than amused. When these two reprobates go, there will be NOTHING like the national outpouring of grief we as a nation felt during that time.

And the media never got it then, and doesn’t get it now. Ronald Reagan loved his country, loved his countrymen, and never let us ever forget, not for one day, what a special nation we had built here and how each one of us had a special stake in its continued prosperity.

We made a point to go in 2006. We were in CA for my daughter's college graduation. She wanted to go with us, so we took an afternoon from all the pre-graduation festivities and went. It's well worth it.

I wept like a child while watching the funeral proceedings. Make an effort to see the Reagan Library. It is soooooo beautiful and the setting is wonderful.
