If you haven't seen it, go see "Miracle":

"Miracle is a 2004 American biographical sports film about the United States men's hockey team, led by head coach Herb Brooks, that won the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The USA team's victory over the heavily favored Soviet team in the medal round was dubbed the Miracle on Ice. Miracle was directed by Gavin O'Connor and written by Eric Guggenheim."

It’s funny — I liked the movie “Miracle” a lot, and they told the story about as well as a movie could tell it. At the end, though, I was a tiny bit disappointed. I think it’s because, having lived through the real thing, no film re-telling could ever measure up to the original. (Sort of like if they made a movie of RWR going to Berlin and saying “Tear down this wall!”) However, it really was a well-done film, and if you didn’t live through the Miracle on Ice, or you weren’t paying attention at the time, you definitely need to see it.

I homeschool, and I used the movie “Miracle” to teach the kids about that era in American history, where the Democrats had run this country into the ground and destroyed so much.

Then Reagan won.
