I'm nearly twice your age, and I have seen them come and go. Ronald Reagan might not have been perfect, but what the hell, Who is?

What Ronald Reagan did for many of us who are old enough to remember where we came from before Ronnie, He made us love this country again, he restored our faith in the wisdom of our forefathers and he never, ever put politics in ahead of what was good for our Nation.

Sure he made some mistakes, but Ronald Reagan became the 40th President of the United States in a time when a lesser man could have easily allowed the Soviet Union to spread it's evil far and wide for his own political reasons, and possibly even our downfall. Ronald Reagan was a man of vision who knew where he wanted to lead this country, and he did so against the massive protests from the left in this country.

President Reagan was able to pass his agenda despite the Liberal majority who was against him. he did so by taking his message directly to the people, and when he spoke, most Americans felt like he was speaking to them personally.

Ronald Reagan started out as a life guard on the Rock River where he saved many lives, little did he know that he would end up saving the world.

Great post, and I mirror your sentiments. Just think where this country might be, if Carter had 4 more yrs, along with his socialist henchmen.

I hope my post didn't come across as me complaining about President Reagan. I did mention how Col. North was hung out to dry, but I hold President Reagan in very high regard.

I think President Reagan was a great president and turned this country around after 4 terrible years. I take that back. He turned this country around after turmoil that started during the Johnson administration and went on straight through Carter. It was all of a sudden cool to love America again. I love that about him. And damnit, he was smooth whilst doing it. :)
