">>>THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.

I never even thought of that. How would have have felt if CBS wanted to air it as fiction? (which it is...) but not trying to sell it as true?"

That simply will NOT fly with decent persons, Calpernia, IMHO.

a rose by any name
smells just the same - -

That applies doubly to their effort to tarnish the reputation of a historical figure.

Remember clearly that there is a large percentage out there who have NO idea of those times - including you, admitting you were not educated about the Cold War - who will no matter what BELIEVE IT ALL, as portrayed by anyone, whether CBS or The Gazoo Press.

President Reagan literally made The Soviet Union back down in Communist Eastern Europe!

Surely you have heard all over the TV accounts by men and women who shared those times with the Reagans positively livid at the pack of absolute (admitted) lies set forth!

"Label" it any way you want, but they do not in God's eyes have the Freedom to Distort and Smear.

You may quote me..:))

Gotta hit the road . . .

Mornin'.

Ahhh, My Two Cents Thursday. Got my 'puter up and running just in time for another look at current events with a twist of reality vs fiction as presented by you two.

The graphic presentation is outstanding, Billie. Always enjoy a visit to your profile page to view your handiwork.

John, it's too bad your snoring drowned out CNN's new comedy series, "The Metrosexual Nine." The pilot was a huge failure. The Neilsen's I'm sure gave it a market share equivalent to Joe Lieberman's (whoever that is) poll numbers.

Now I must go re-gain my composure. The laughter brought on by this essay has left a smile on my face (not to be confused with the goofy grin of Dean).

>>>Remember clearly that there is a large percentage out there who have NO idea of those times - including you, admitting you were not educated about the Cold War - who will no matter what BELIEVE IT ALL, as portrayed by anyone, whether CBS or The Gazoo Press.

You know what? I'm not even 100% sure what "Cold War" is.
You know what is even worse? I have a little more than half a brain and I am shocked by what I learn that I don't know.

So, this is some sort of effort to do to Reagan (whether appropriately labeled fiction or not) what was done to McCarthy?

And I do agree, that no one owns a license to lie.

I did, she sent me a link to her original posting. :) I think we have us a national treasure right here on the Finest!

[Donaeus]

How sweet of her! Glad they had so much fun with the thread.

[Pippin]

We sure do!

[Molly Pitcher]

Outstanding essay and thread today, John and Billie. Thank you so much for the thoughts and the fun.

A Thursday hello to everyone!

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep. It beats the heck out of 109 degrees we had last summer I tell ya !

Man, look at that ! 48 degrees right now.
And I think we've already seen our expected high today of 53 ...

[Donaeus]

It beats the heck out of 109 degrees we had last summer I tell ya !

You can say that again! I actually had a few small pellets of sleet hit my window on the way to work this morning. I hope this means we're in Fall for real. :)

This drawing our own Billie did of former President Reagan is one of the best I've seen. Billie you ought to do one and send to the Reagans.

Good afternoon FInest..it's a cold drizzly day here in Memphis. Hyde nor hair of the sun to be seen. Went and got the oil changed on the van this morning, and did my last minute necessity grocery shopping for the weekend while I waited for Wal-Mart to get the oil changed on the van.

[GailA]

Billie your drawings of President Reagan and President Bush are really great. Thank you for sharing them with us.

John as usual your wit is right on target. Dean's flag flap is turning into fun. Now he's really showing his contempt for us Southerners. He seems to think that those who drives trucks with a Confederate battle flag on them are "POOR"..guess he's never priced some of them trucks has he. Oh, and that Southerners shouldn't vote based on issueses of GUNS, gays, or religion. Next he'll be saying we shouldn't vote based on OVER TAXATION.

[MeekOneGOP]

Are they all getting plastic surgery?

hehe ! Maybe. If they think it might help them get the nomination/get elected, definitely !

[Aeronaut]

Good afternoon Billie.

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep ! Fun to work with PhotoDeluxe. It's easy and quick.

[MeekOneGOP]

Howdy ! ...

"GOOD MORNING (((FREE)))! Isn't John FANTASTIC!?"

YESS! But I must take it on faith. Soooo busy -- it will be tonight before I can give it the good reading I'm sure it deserves!

[Billie]

My other two are boys.

Oh, no! I just had it in my head, looking at the picture yesterday with the ducks, that that cute little face with the pretty brown hair was a little girl. (Don't tell Frankie!)

[Billie]

Some days your work isn't all that bad and in rare instances, such as today, it might even attain the lofty standard of mediocrity. When that happens it pleases me greatly to say so.

You are just too kind. LOL!

[Billie]

Hi, knighthawk! Reagan was loved by many, wasn't he!
