What a joke the media is. I exerienced both and JFK was nothing compared to this.
The outpouring for JFK was more immediate grief for our nation and his young family than it was out of respect for him and his legacy. He was immoral, he copped out at the Bay of Pigs and left Americans on the ground...and he was a liberal/socialist at heart.
Reagan's outpouring is because the man and the principles he espoused, lived and communicated for years were GREAT! ...and what he accomplished with them was GREAT! The people know this, and ten years after his departure from the public view , they are STILL responding to it.
Another bump for your prayer.
