someone in the crowd shouts that Reagan should have negotiated with the students. Reagan, with the incredulity of someone who understands that youth don’t run the world for a reason, says: “Negotiate? What is to negotiate? All of it began the first time some of you who know better and are old enough to know better let young people think that they have the right to choose the laws they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest.”

Chuckle.
I saw that video clip.
Reagan was no pushover.
Those anarchists had no idea who they were messing with. They forgot that it was Reagan who as President of the Screen Actors Guild, led them on their first, toughest and longest strike.

A real life funny story on the National Guard at Berkeley.

One of my friend in his later life, was a sergeant in the California national guard when they were called up by Governor Reagan.

His nickname was the Blond Polish Stud.

He and his squad were standing guard with their M1’s and some Berkley gals came along with bottled water and roses. They stuck their roses into the barrels M1s of my friend and his troops and handed them a bottle of water.

The babe, who stuck the rose into into his M1 barrel, had put her name and phone # on a piece of paper wrapped around the rose stem, and she told him to call her.

He did,and they dated for about 2 years after that. She was always very liberal even if she didn’t like violence and liked good looking Blond Polish Studs.
