I inevitably think of Reagan whenever Alzheimer’s comes up. There are an incredibly tiny number of mortal men I consider to be heroes, people genuinely worthy of mass adoration. For me, Reagan is at the top of that list. He was a genuinely great man and I (notorious in my small world for being unemotional) can easily tear up when watching any kind of show about him.

You sound like me to a “T”.
I also tear up at pictures of Reagan. From all I have read, he was a decent, caring man who unanbashedly fought the evils of communism. I believe God used RR as His agent(along with Maggie Thatcher and Pope John Paul VI) to put the final nail in the Soviet Union and to bring freedom to hundreds of millions of people. RR was a man of tremendous personal courage.
I well remember living through Jimmy Carter and the Reagan years—like night and day. I always felt safe when RR was on duty, in spite of the vicious press he got.
To this day, I have no use for the MSM. They do the same things to President Bush.
I often wonder what the 1990s would have been like with a sharp RR scolding Bill Clinton for his errant ways. Bildo would have been a one termer for sure.
