He was a no-show son even then. I remember reading an interview with him a few years ago, when he said he no longer bothered going to see his father, as his father couldn't recognize who he was. And he had had a falling-out with his mother for at least five years during that time, so he didn't go see her either.

No doubt both Ron and Patti were embarrassments and huge disappointments to their parents. I guess poor Nancy had to beg them to behave during the long week of a state burial. He didn't see his mother for five years after President Reagan didn't recognize him anymore? How low is that? Abandoning his mother when she needed him most! Ron is the opposite of everything his father was about and he really makes my blood boil. The guy is a non believer, and yet sees fit to criticize the genuine Christian beliefs of our President! Where in the hell does this little ballerina liberal twerp get off judging the current President, who was extremely gracious to their entire family? He even refused to bow his head at his own father's funeral. What a loser!

To her credit, Patti had reconciled with her parents just before her father's diagnosis, and was a big part of her parents' life in those years. I don't care for her politics, but I can't fault her personal behavior then. Even Michael gave comfort to Nancy in those years, even though he was not her son.

But I clearly remember Ron Jr. saying his comments a few years ago, because I was so appalled by them. And now he has the nerve to claim to be the keeper of the Reagan flame, when he was out of the picture for the years when his parents needed him the most? Of course nobody in the media will throw what he actually did during that time up in his face -- heck, they can't even mention that he's a lifelone liberal Democrat!

Yep. He thinks he's so clever, too. He throws a disguised barb at Bush during the eulogy which would be clear to anybody who knew how much he hates W, and then when the media calls him on it, he thinks it's very telling that people thought he was talking about Bush. You didn't need to be Einstein to figure out who he was referring to, considering he's on record as saying that W is suffering from "dementia", and that Bush's great achievement is that he's no longer an "obnoxious drunk."
