I took it as a shot, too. Both at Michael and W. I turned the sound off and walked out of the room.

You might be misconstrueing Ron's comments. President Bush doesn't wear his religion, his belief in the Lord our God, on his sleeve. His is a quiet humility, a firm belief in God, one he doesn't need to advertise. President Reagan didn't either. It was an articile of faith.

J. Kerry, however, makes much of his 'belief'. He makes sure there is a camera there when he leaves a church. This is what I believe Ron Reagan the Younger meant.

On a more private note, it was Ronald Wilson Reagan who convinced me that I needed to enlist in the US Army on my 17th birthday in 1987, to serve the nation that he led so ably, to fight the good fight. It was my great honor to call him my Commander-in-Chief for the first six months of my service to the nation that he made me so proud to serve. This is my greatest accomplishment in my life to date, other than marrying my wife of 12 years (Freeper AZLadyHawke, who retired from the US Army after 23 years in 2003).

God bless you, Mr. President. Godspeed, and may flights of angels sing you to your much deserved rest. You convinced a full 10% of my graduating class of 1988 to enlist in the US military, to fight the evil empire and make men free. We haven't seen the likes of you since Abe Lincoln, and aren't like to see again in our lifetimes. We thank you, Sir. Goodnight, and God bless.
