I will repeat for you guys what I posted in RE:#126

"From the article:
And Dr. John E. Hutton Jr. his doctor from 1984 through Reagan's retirement, told the New York Times that Reagan didn't show the tell-tale symptoms until 1993."

I think Dr.Hutton's word should be good enough for any and ALL FReepers.

Does this guy ever stop attacking his Dad? You would think he hated the guy or something!

I don't know what happened in his childhood , but I simply do not know how this little weasel is the son of such a wonderful man. Maybe Ronald wasn't around a lot when Ron was growing up, who knows. But I can tell you that Ron Jr. is the typical slimy opportunistic liberal. I mean he used his Dad's funeral to spout off for crying out loud!

This little prick needs to just stick to dog shows.

What an ungrateful, wretched son. Without his father’s name, he’d be busing tables at a Denny’s.

This guy has been riding his Dad’s coattails for years. When is enough, enough?

He is truly disgusting!

Is it possible to do DNA testing of this little creep to determine that he really is Ronald Reagan’s biological offspring? There is no resemblance, in looks, build, character, or any other attribute.

You can actually see both GHWB and Bar in W. I can’t see a scintilla of RWR in Ron.

Let me see if I have this correct.......little Ronnie decided to become a liberal and an atheist and HE noticed that his father was confused?!?!?!

If you want to see confusion, Ronnie, step in front of a mirror.

P.S. You have to look at the shiny side for this to work, Ronnie.

You can say that again. Ron will be outed as the liar that he is. He should have waited until all those who knew Reagan were dead before writing his stupid little book! Too many people remember President Reagan all too well. This jerk will just tick them off. What a scumbag he is!

Who cares. Pretty good eight year term except for the amnesty but otherwise great job.

Ron, Jr. is the manchild Ann Coulter called “the world’s living testament to the limits of genetics.”

But even if it's true, how tragic is it that the most capable and competent President America has had in the last 90 years had Alzheimer's?

If only every president was as retarded as the left portrays Reagan... sigh.




Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

The left hates heroes. A hero demonstrates the importance of a single person making big things happen. A hero is an individual -- as opposed to a group, or a tribe, or a "people." A hero defies victimhood, undermining the left's entire world view.

There are big and great things that are publicly glorified as heroism. We can all be awed by mighty acts of courage and will that can move great forces in the world. Such people and such feats are important to history, and inspire us to live according to the best within us.

But in everybody's life there are countless choices, conflicts, and opportunities that require courage, integrity, a willingness to face hard truths, make difficult decisions that might have big consequences, and take action that you would rather not have to take.

Ronald Reagan saw the heroic in ordinary Americans. That is one of the things that I loved about him as a president, for everywhere he looked in America, he saw ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

"Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships."

"Already the hour is late. Government has laid its hand on health, housing, farming, industry, commerce, education, and to an ever-increasing degree interferes with the people's right to know. ... We approach the point of no return when government becomes so huge and entrenched that we fear the consequences of upheaval and just go along with it."

— Ronald Reagan

Hear hear! I was trying to understand the issues of the day and politics in general and could not figure out why the press distorted what I hear this man say. There was no doubt Ronaldus Magnus was a true Patriot, and I loved it.

Now that I’m clued in, I admire him all the more. His convictions were evidently true to heart because they didn’t change, regardless of his health. That this sap of a son is trying to discredit him in any way says more about the son than it does about the father.

“in 1986, when his father couldn’t recall the names of California canyons he was flying over.”

Lapses in long-term memory are not a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease. It is the inability to form new memories that is the warning sign.

There is now real hope for a cure to this terrible disease, and it is probably in your kitchen cabinet:

Interesting link, thanks. I’ve been taking it for it’s anti-inflammatory properties in maintaining remission of my UC.

If you read Reagan's Diaries you find again and again notes implying that Ron Jr was a royal pain in the ass to his father, self-centered and demanding and generally an embarrassment. Despite this, Reagan tried again and again to show support for his son, his relationships, his dancing career.

Ronald Reagan, with full blown Alzheimers, dementia, paraplegia, etc etc etc was still more of a president than our current idiot in chief. His son, Ron is a complete dolt..Michael is great .....wasn’t one of them adopted???maybe not, oh well...
