[Jeff Head]

Couldn't help myself here. With all of the little jabs, inuendo and ouright lies and offensive statements about him the week of his death...this is my prayer to put all of that to rest.

I don;t care what ABC says about his "approval ratings"...when it came time for Americans to go to the polls and participate in the only approval ratings that mattered...when they voted for him...he won by the most overwhelming landslides imaginable.

They can never talk that down...it stands, like his actions, as a marker and pillar to his goodness and impact.

...and the people (the vast majority of them) know it. p>

[The Mayor]

BTTT!

I wish I could be there.

He had the courage to do what was right for our defenses. Sad that we've not had any more like him since....

[Jeff Head]

FYI...my hopes and prayers.

[dawn53]

I pray that it becomes such a phenomena that the press can't hide it, that they are at a complete loss of wors to explain it... that their socialist/liberal programs and voices are in fact left utterly speechless by it!

I was just watching the lines on TV and then listened to some people that had waited in line for hours and hours in California.

I read we are a 50/50 divided nation. That Bush and Kerry are literally tied in the polls. But when I see things like the outpouring of love for Reagan by the throngs that are willing to wait hours to pay their respects, it just makes me wonder if this country is as divided, politically, as it seems.

We must keep in mind that a part of the 'progressive' [as in Progressive Caucus, socialism/communism, etc.] philosophy is to destroy any heroes. Heroes are bad for the cause. Heroes show that people can rise above expectations. Remember how the leftists had to try to tear down the heroism of Pat Tillman?

Many politicians get elected every year. Many politicians serve and have served in our Federal government. Few of those politicians, however, are or have been statesmen. A statesman is one who rises above the politics and does what is best for the Nation, not for him. Few people ever attain such a true status.

Politicians are a dime a dozen. Statesment are the true leaders who, going against the common wisdom of the day, step up and change the Nation and the World for the better.

Ronald Reagan was a true statesman, in the same character of Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt. They were men who faced to tough situation and made tough decisions, not for political expediency, but for the survival of their Nations.

I do have to give kudos to CBSnews webfeed for providing unnarrated continuing coverage of the viewing of President Reagan at the Reagan Library.

The changing of the guards is very touching to watch.

[Delphinium]

I pray that the masses who desire to see him amaze everyone...that they are so numberless that they cannot be contained. I pray that they will wait as long as necessary and be glad and willing to do so, in California and in DC...white, black, yellow, brown and red.

This has also been part of my prayer.

I have also been praying that his words will inspire many as they did so many of us.

I am praying that his straight talking way will sink in to many of our conservative leaders who have become afraid to be politically incorrect. That they will see clearly that they do not have to compromise their principles.

Your prayer is already coming true, except the liberal press seeing it.

I will be agreeing in prayer with you.

Jam 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

[Delphinium]

"Knowing that intercessory prayer is our mightiest weapon and the supreme call for all Christians today, I pleadingly urge our people everywhere to pray. Believing that prayer is the greatest contribution that our people can make in this critical hour. I humbly urge that we take time to pray-to really pray. Let there be prayer at sunup, at noonday, at sundown, at midnight-all through the day. Let us pray for our children, our youth, our aged, our pastors, our homes. Let us pray for our churches. Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word 'concern' out of our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice." Robert E. Lee 1864

Hope you are getting to see this amazing and wonderful outpouring on behalf of this great man, President Reagan.

It truly lets us all know (including the liberals/leftists/socialists/marxists/globalists, to their chagrin) that the silent, moral majority is alive and well in America.

This thread is my prayer regarding the potential impact of that outpouring.

God bless.

[Spirited]

I have been praying that the number will overwhelm the authorities until they have to tell the truth about the numbers (which are normally faked entirely on basis of pc).
Right now MSNBC is saying the wait is up to 10 hours and no one is leaving.
I wish they could ask people to go through two or three abreast in order to accommodate as many as possible.
My other prayer is that thousands will line the streets and highways in CA and in the DC Metro region to evidence the respect people have for that God given man.

[Jeff Head]

FYI..good to see you back around.

[Jeff Head]

FYI, earlier this morning I uttered this prayer and hope...may it grow exponentially and may millions want to see him in DC!

Thanks Jeff for a beautiful tribute and for sharing.

I pray that the masses who desire to see him amaze everyone...that they are so numberless that they cannot be contained. I pray that they will wait as long as necessary and be glad and willing to do so, in California and in DC...white, black, yellow, brown and red.

I spoke it out in agreement with you. May everyone be astounded at the out pouring of love and esteem held for this one great Cowboy of America!

[davidosborne]

BTTT ! passing it on......

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I won't be there, but it should be fun to see the media try to keep from exploding over the sheer numbers who WILL come to see him in DC...

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[Darlin']

Thank all of you for the pings :)

Jeff, what a lovely tribute. As the country and the world reflects on his life, his enduring legacy continues to grow.

[Doomonyou]

AMEN!
