Fox news is now reporting that Ronald Reagan has just passed away.
"We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for 8 years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all."
A BTT for the Fox announcement. The man was pure dignity; his detractors forfeit their own in reveling in this.
We have been so blessed that he was with us all in this world. His legacy lives on.
May the Lord bless and keep Nancy, Michael, Patty, and Ron Jr.
This is a really sad day. RR is the person who made me who I am politically.
America has lost one of its greatest heros, and the best President of the 20th century.
I thank God, so much, for the wonderful men he has led into our Presidency thru the ages. Men who have made all the difference, and who, by their very character, expose the weaker, immoral and unethical men who have also held that post.
I love Ronald Reagan. Forever. What a good, good man.
Thank you, Sir, for making America and the world a better place. We will see you again.
Thank you, LORD, for giving us a much greater leader than we deserved.
Finally... he gets the glorious rewards he so deserves. May he rest in eternal glory and peace.
Amen, may he rest in peace with the Lord thy God.
Ouch!!!
May God grant him eternal Glory

I lost my Mom 3 weeks ago and now President Reagan. These two people were among the most influential people in my life. Their style, courage and dedication to doing right will always live on as an integral part of my self. I feel very alone suddenly but I know they both are looking down on me and expect me to carry on the battle just as they did. Thank you God for their great influence and leadership in my life.
I think back on all the Presidents who have served this country from the day I was born, beginning with Eisenhower. Our country has been blessed, indeed. In fact, there is only one of those Preseidents whom I believe to have done harm to the office and to the country, and that is President Clinton. Not even Carter came close to proving himself to be such a boobish miscreant.
Well. This is about Reagan, I know. But to put things in context, I just wanted to day that we have been well-served by this office by some very special men. Reagan was absolutely top notch.
Somewhere a child is asking
"Daddy, what's the Soviet Union?"
Now our dear President has also slipped the surly bonds of earth, and is touching the face of God.
I'm sure he's heard, "Well done, good and faithful servant".
Rest well, Mr. President.
Inyokern.... very well said. So many, many will never have the opportunity that we did to be served by such a great man. I can't wait to meet him.
"Well done, good and faithful servant."
BTW, before the warmth has completely left Reagan's body, Dan Rather has seized this opportunity to take a few parting shots at him. Rather seems to think that Iran-Contra is the only legacy worth mentioning today.
Godspeed on your way to Glory, Dutch... We love you always. Your courage was unfailing and your love of country unflinching.
