Thankx Mr. Reagan... Thankx for Everything! RIP
Ronald Reagan is the single biggest reason I am a recovered liberal. I knew this day was coming, and I knew it would be soon, I feel like I just lost part of my family.
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
--John Gillespie Magee, Jr. (1922-1941)
The last great president (no offense President Bush) has passed into God's waiting arms. May he be blessed in his eternal reward, and may his family know God's love and peace in their time of sorrow.
Truly a remarkable man and the best President ever. God Bless you!
Love you President Reagan. You restored Americans' faith in the goodness and greatness of our country during a dark time in our nation's history and you helped bring down the Evil Empire that menaced for decades the freedom of the world. You will be remembered in every American's heart for the ages. RIP, dear friend.
