Recently, Ron Reagan, the son of President Reagan, argued on MSNBC how unconscionable it is that there are those in Washington "standing in the way" of stem cell research, given that so many could so quickly reap its benefits.
And young Ron's planned prime time speech at the Democratic convention has been touted as a major coup for the Democrats.
Not so fast, President Reagan's eldest son Michael says.
Discussing the Ron Reagan speech, Michael Reagan told his radio audience on his nationally syndicated Michael Reagan Show (Radio America Network) that brother Ron Reagan has no interest in continuing his father's political legacy.
In fact, Michael said that his brother so vehemently disliked his father's views he never voted for his own father when he ran twice for the presidency.
Now, Michael says "in the interest of accuracy, and to defend his father's legacy," he must make clear the difference between embryonic stem cell research and adult stem cell research.
Michael said: "Stem cell research is going forward. Embryonic stem cell research is going forward. But embryonic stem cells create tumors in rats while adult stem cells are doing quite well. The Left, including my brother, make you forget the difference."
Michael continued: "The president, and most everybody I know, is in fact onboard with stem cell research. It is the creation and destruction of an embryo for those cells which conservatives have a problem with."
Maybe he'll speak at the Republican convention!!! ;-)
Interesting information. Patti favors her mother's side, also, but I see her father, RWR, in the upper part of her face.
Do you have a photo of him in his little tutu?
If you can find it, I'd love to see it. Speaking solely about looks, to me Nancy never was a truly beautiful woman in her younger years. Attractive, yes, but not a beauty. But the mysteries of genetics being what they are, Ron and Nancy's two kids seem to have inherited none of their father's good looks and some of the worst facial features from their mother's side of the family.
No, but I've been looking. The picture I posted was something from a dance clothing site. It's not Ronnie.
WOW! Thank you for the history--it is quite very fascinating! I didn't know the story behind the Malcolm X name. I also had read that nearly every "Hilter" changed their surname, but that was about it. Many thanks for an interesting morning reading :)
Ronnie at 30:
With that hair-do, Patti looks like a Cocker Spaniel.
Ronny is GAY GAY GAY!! His marriage of convenience may be fooling some but not me. He is a flaming liberal hobnobber! Watching him on MSNBC the past few days really sealed it for me. His is incredibly fem and just simply gay. How has he been able to keep from getting outed?
We need to call him something ... how about little Ron, micro Ron, teeny Ron?
Ron Reagan is such a bitch!
"How sharper than a serpent's tooth ..."
"We need to call him something ... how about little Ron, micro Ron, teeny Ron?"
How about Faux Ron.
Ronny "Sausage Smuggler" Reagan Juuuuunior.
