You can tell by the crowds already gathering at the funeral home in Santa Monica that the press will NOT be able to spin the negativity/hate that they have for Reagan. People will come out in droves to honor this President.

Let's not stoop to their level. IGNORE the idiot liberal press/du/skerry/dnc. Rejoice in Reagan's legacy and that he no longer has to suffer.

No, thy will never spin the outporing of love for this great statesman.

His legacy is something we can look up to, and be proud of.

Well, maybe not, but Newsweek made a good attempt at it in their obituary. This is the lead paragraph. The spelling error is theirs. Tellingly, they can't spell conservatism :)

June 5 - By the time he left the Oval Office in 1988, Ronald Reagan was one of the most popular presidents of the previous 100 years, second only to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was also one of the most deeply divisive. As president, he cut taxes and drove the deficit to new heights, presiding over a bleak recession. He often botched his facts. Yet for his McCarthyist bent and staunch Goldwater conservativism, the cold warrior had a common touch. The crowds loved him; while sewing the seeds for the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Union, the old actor could charm even his most begrudging critics.
