As far as I am aware, the parallels stop with the drunkard father. The Oval Office sink was still safe to drink out of after Reagan left office.

My response (delivered as I'm standing in front of the refrigerator plastered with Reagan magnets, holding a Reagan book in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other): "What are you, stupid?" Come to think of it, I really didn't need to ask the question.

ROTFLMBO!

The issue was labeling the ministers "p.c." because they didn't mention Jesus Christ.

Why would the ministers mention Jesus Christ when Ronald Reagan never mentioned him?

Re: I always shake my head in amazement at the pundits (including some here) who consider Richard Cheney a liability to the President's re-election campaign. It's a bizarre perception.

Agreed !

I was captivated by his speech. Most of all because I didn't expect it to be so filled with emotion, but with all those standing in silence . . . you could hear a pin drop . . . well, it was very moving. IMHO Cheney continues to earn his shot at the nomination. Reagan served 2 terms @ 70 through 78 years, and last a lasting legacy.

Think about this for a moment. Who would have thought way back in 1974 that in 2004 Richard Cheney would gather every member of the House and Senate, and all the chief justices, in the capitol rotunda, on live TV, use the phrase "Reagan Revolution".

Well, it just sends chills down my spine. I can't remember when I've been so proud to be a Conservative American.

Does anyone know if the DC FReepers are in line right now? If one of them has a phone, they should let us know when they are almost ready to go inside, so maybe someone can tape CSPAN to capture their moments inside with the Gipper...

right away, I am struck that there is alot more emotion coming from these people, at least these first ones in line, then the ones at the Library. I think the ceremony and the horse drawn casket must have gotten to them.

Those people filing past the casket look like normal people. Young, old, rich, poor, Christians, non-Christians. In other words, AMERICANS. Party of the rich, indeed. What garbage!

ha ! I haven't seen that one in a while. I like it.

I think I need to find a 'Trademark' image. Well, actually, I think I have.

I post this thing quite often on threads that I am shocked by:

Barbara Bush: What you read in the N.Y. Times is not always true.

She can't say that, can she?
