So what if Ron gave an immature dig to politicians who use religion for personal advantage. He was obtuse enough we aren't sure who he was talking about. He should have meant Clinton, he most likely meant Bush, but he could have meant his half-brother Michael. But in the overall scheme of things, what does it matter? He otherwise did a bang up job for his Mother and the people there, who loved his Dad.
General Jack who sheparded, guided, comforted, and talked Mrs. Reagan through the week, should get another star for the way he, his aide, and his Command performed. Magnificent!
I'm going to stop saying California should drop off into the ocean. Those normal Californians were fabulous! (I'm glad...I had a baby at Fort Ord.) And I'm going to stop saying "our country is going to hell in a handbasket". We aren't! This week allowed us the chance to see how we value greatness, how we cherish tradition, how unified we can be, and how well behaved.
The spontaneous displays of love and respect the country showed to President and Mrs. Reagan must rankle the left. Let them seethe in a sea of meanspirited hate. We have seen how we can rise above them.
It was a beautiful and magnificent week of pageantry and ceremony that was marvelous in its uplifting and supremely civilized execution.
(However, there was nothing wrong with making note of what Ron said. After all, he chose to deliver his message and it was received. Nothing more, nothing less)
'The spontaneous displays of love and respect the country showed to President and Mrs. Reagan must rankle the left.'
Especially the military, straight Christian talk, Jesus, hymns, they got to be going nuts.
And this aspect was so very wonderful! I was not surprised, but even I thought tonight--by week's end--might not find many along the route. WOW, to see the throngs---and to see the *cars stopped on the highway*. It was a blessing for Nancy in particular, but all of us, I think.
I am reluctant to tune in talking heads. I have stayed with CSPAN. Besides, my husband was working today so he didn't get to see it. The music is so soothing.
Well said.
