Watching the pagentry of the Reagan funeral procession, it dawned on me the differece you'd see in other countries...
ANY Third World Communist Country:
Due to there not being any significantly major news anchors or celebrities to cover such a funeral, AMERICAN celebrity Marxists are flown in to cover it.
Ed Asner anchoring this band of has-beens...
Danny Glover reporting from where the coffin is being loaded into the hearse, which by strict military protocal, is driven by the widow. {Fragile old woman helped into hearse...can't clutch a stick-shift to save her life...you know the type}
Ted Rall outside the Parlaiment where the body will lie in state. {Is run over by the Widow-driven hearse}
Janeane Garafalo at the hospital, reporting on Rall's broken legs...
...and on, and on, and on.
Because, when loading the casket into the hearse, all that the buglar knows to blow is RETREAT!
Did anyone happen to hear Tom Brokaw say that Reagan brought the country into Recession but was still a popular president!!!
I nearly spit my corn across the room!
Just watched the funeral procession to the capitol. Quite a sendoff! Very moving.
We have on ABC. They are wh*res of the worst kind. Fortunately, the local abc affiliate wasn't obnoxious.
Go to C-SPAN. No commentary whatsoever.
And just what did Reagan INHEIRIT FROM CARTER? Does Broke-jaw not understand how close to a DEPRESSION we were in, or does he need Bill & Hillary to tell hi........oh, right...To the Clinton's, the Carter years either DIDN'T happen or they were lied about too.
I'd been watching Fox enjoying the respectfully silent Brit Hume when I switched to NBC just to see what they were showing; nothing but meaningless, disrespectful chit chat.
No wonder people love FNC! No more switching for me.
Watching the family seated inside the Capitol: there is Ron Jr. and Patti, along with a bunch of various others--but where the heck is Michael? I don't see him anywhere!
Watching it on FOX News...... my sister is watching it live in Germany. I was surprised it's shown there, my family always liked him. I was a teenager in Germany when he was President, but what I remember best is that he brought down the Berlin Wall :) God bless you President Reagan:)
FOX is the only meaningful, educational alternative.
So, the media has to take over the hate-speech leadership.
Then (if you're not watching FOX) you just missed a wonderful prayer.
"but where the heck is Michael?" Anyone know?
I'm sure if anyone has a respectful absence from the side of his famly, it's Michael.
The speaker just referenced Michael, but I sure don't see him there. And as the eldest Reagan son, there is no reason why he should not be right there in front.
I have a intuition on these things, and unless I miss my guess, Michael (as the lead Reagan "man of the house") may be among those scheduled to speak shortly.
Okay, I did see him finally--standing in the back. Why is he not given a place in the front with his half-brother and half-sister? He was every bit as much Reagan's child as the others. This just doesn't seem right to me.
Mayhap so.
I've said a few of my own.
I'm supposed to be a tough guy, but I've had to turn away from this a few times.
God rest you, Ronald.
