"Villainy wears no deadlier guise than that of Virtue"
Look on the bright side.
Events like these cause the DUers to let slip their masques.
For a brief moment, we can openly see them for what they are.
They'd better make some room on Mt. Rushmore.
We all have to go sometime. Ronald Reagan has had an amazing life. While I count myself among those who have been blessed by his soul who lived amongst us, I also pray for his family at this time. There is no doubt in my mind where President Reagan is departing for...
Watch the Slimes still run an Abu Ghraib story on the first page, even if Reagan passes away.
My thoughts are with the Reagan family tonight.
Bump.
We need a Reagan Memorial, but it'll never be allowed.
Besides I think he'd find it akward.
One thing ya gotta love about Pres. Reagan was his humor, and humility.
Still, he and Roosevelt were the two most influential American politicians of the 20th century
I was fortunate to have him as my President during my formative years. What a great President, patriot, and man!
I hate to hear that his health is declining so rapidly -- I just hate to hear it.
Reagan reminds us the Cowboys are the good guys. The bad guys hate the cowboys.
Stout hearts, my friends. Like an earlier Republican President, Abe Lincoln, he now belongs to the ages. We are left to carry on his work.
You are exactly right.
Those we face now are beyond our "normal understanding" of an enemy.
Pity that so many just won't "get it" until it's too late.
You cannot reason or bargain with evil.
My oldest son's middle name is Reagan. He was the first President I voted for. He was the right man for his times.
That changed in 1983, in a small but definitive way, when Reagan sent the troops into Grenada. Behind the scenes and in summit negotiations, the Reagan Administration steadily ratched up the pressure on the Soviets. The Evil Empire fell a few months after the first George Bush took office, but it was Ronald Reagan who broke its back.
Godspeed, Mr President. And thank you...
Yes, devils walk the Earth.
Farewell Address to the Nation
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.
"And how stand the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that; after two hundred years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home.
"We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.
"And so, good-bye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America."
Worrisome Post!
Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn has a son named Reagan.
I know, but it still hurts....:-\
