Both of my teenage daughters are conservative and their friends are too.

Fred Barnes just said, "This is not an exercise in nostgalgia, this is an exercise in respect"

[Petronski]

This is not an exercise in nostalgia. Nor is it, with my apologies, an exercise in respect.

It is an exercise in longing.

...a longing for that kind of leadership all over again.

[mware]

How about during the service this morning? That was the first time I heard Jerusalem in years.

"There are actually millions of Republicans out here."

I know there are a few (*wink*) of ya'll left. I feel for you that the GOP out there isn't able to release the deathgrip the RATS have on the state.

Maybe one day again common sense will return to Sacramento.

[NonValueAdded]

That is right, they played The Mansions of the Lord.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

The greatest President of the 20th Century... #2 or #3 in history?

Without a doubt we need to see Reagan on Mt. Rushmore. Is this an undertaking worthy of FReepers?

[longtermmemmory]

The must be INFURIATING the liberals, left, socialist democrats. People have just stopped just to see the Great Man's final ride.

I said it before I will say it again:

This Marks the SECOND Reagan Revolution.

ALL future Candidates will be held to the Reagan Standard of CONVICTION.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Yes. If you want to hear it again it's here.

CSPAN just showed a bunny in the yard of the Reagan Library, chomping on some grass.

Wasn't that better than Chris Wallace talking.

[Indy Pendance]

All three of my kids, 22, 21 and 18 are conservative, and so are their friends.

[skeeter]

We're dug in like a tick on a hound.

LOL. Truer than anyone could ever imagine.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

This silent majority needs to make sure they get off their duffs and vote this November. One by product of Reagan's death will be another shot in the arm for patriotism renewed, and I think that will get people out in November to defeat that which Reagan opposed (hence, voting for GW).

[killjoy]

Was I hearing things or did the Military band at the funeral at the National Cathedral at the end of the service play the theme song from the movie "We Were Soldiers" while the casket was being carried out by the Honor Guard pallbearers?

Yes you heard it. On another thread someone said the name of the tune is "Mansions of the Lord".

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Irish Tune from County Derry" AKA as "Danny Boy"

[mware]

Yes it is called Mansions of the Lord.

[Carolinamom]

This week's outpouring of love for President Reagan and all he stood for is proof that a large part of this nation has been hungering and thirsting for Righteousness.

[leadpenny]

They deserve an award not for what they do but for what they don't do - - - yap!
