Sorry for the long vanity. Just feeling nostalgic tonight for some reason.

[dfwgator]

We all miss him, and Thatcher, too.

[HokieMom]

BTTT!

[Bobalu]

Great post!

We all miss the Gipper...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Indeed. Most of all...I miss America. When she was not ‘Europeanized’.

[LALALAW]

We all do! HW the unprincipled patrician

Clinton, the preverted pig

W, the misguided cowboy

Obama, the unamerican, affirmative action, unqualified, commie usurper

[boxlunch]

Wonderful post and pictures. I am nostalgic for him and those times, too.

This post made me cry. I miss my country so much...it’s depressing me, today especially. Not sure why.

[cloudmountain]

He was a oner...one of California’s finest.

[Gay State Conservative]

Over the last few years I've begun missing Jimmy Carter.

Have you ever visited the Reagan Library? It brings a sense of peace.

[laplata]

Thank you very much, workerbee!

I missed Reagan for many years. Not as much lately, because it has been somewhat dwarfed by the broader picture of missing the country I knew, loved and plead allegiance to.

America has become such an ugly, depraved cesspool... full of socialism, faggotry, dopeheads, and brimming with a corrupt, third-world style of culture and governance. It really makes me want to vomit, when I look at the depths the country has plunged. Just today, with the story of the fag-marriage at the chapel right there at West Point... damn. America has basically embraced evil, and it truly makes me question why I would have any interest left in the preservation of the republic.

I met him once in a hotel lobby in Chicago when he was governor of California. I live in a town that he spent some time in and mentioned it to him. He remembered the town in very great detail (you remember how the media portrayed him as a dunce) and put me at ease while we had a nice chat. He had real class.

I never met Reagan, my grandfather knew him in Des Moines Iowa, when Dutch was a sports announcer for WHO radio. The would often eat lunch at the same diner. Once when Reagan traveled to California to cover a Cubs baseball game he sent Grandad a postcard, informing him of a screentest that a studio had scheduled for him. The rest is history.

[NEWwoman]

I miss him, too.

[AlexW]

America’s last REAL president.

[Theodore R.]

It’s sad that all the nice pictures and captions you posted don’t mean a thing to his children by Nancy.

Compare any of President Reagan's speeches with those of the dictator wannabe. There is no comparison.

Now and then I play a You Tube of President Reagan's address to the nation following the Challenger tragedy. A nation in shock, grief and turmoil could find comfort and courage in that speech. President Reagan showed in just that one speech what true leadership is all about.

Unlike the current occupant of the White House and his campaign speech after Sandy Hook. Instead of comfort, he talked politics and blame. The tragedy of Sandy Hook was bad enough, but he made it worse by his relentless narcissism. Unbelievable how low this country has sunk with him at the helm.

[MeshugeMikey]

He was a great inspiration...and inspirer

the new guy is a demoralizer.

God Bless Ronald Reagan!

Here are two of my favorite short videos with him:

Ronald Reagan Tribute; GOD
Ronald Reagan’s church put this together to commemorate
the birthday of Ronald Reagan.
This is a rather short ( non-political) video that we all should watch,
appreciate, and fully understand its meaning. It is also one that everyone in
our government should be forced to watch several times, at least until
they get it!!!

Some humor for a change.

Some may not have seen this. I hadn’t. 9 minutes, but very funny. President Reagan, First Lady, and Senator Baker up front.
