Seems truth hurts. Reagan didn't wear his religion on his sleeve.
I was puzzled by this line when Ron spoke it. Did he ever LISTEN to his Dad's speeches? Reagan made religious references ALL THE TIME! He believed America was the shining city on a hill, which means he must have believed that God had blessed her in a special way.
In hearing some of President Reagan's old speeches this past week, I was struck with just how much Dubya sounds like him in describing an America that he believes to be truly blessed, but with a huge responsibility to bring that message of freedom to the world.
"Seems truth hurts. Reagan didn't wear his religion on his sleeve."
Ron P doesn't have religion to wear on his sleeve... he is an admitted atheist.
This kind of political backstabbing at President Bush while burying his father is a lame attemp at attention getting.
He is an arrogant, self-promoting POS.
Ronald Reagan was a great President and a great American. I value him for his public life and public service.
Undeniably,He was not a great father. Family values were not that important to him on a personal level. Allowing his children to be raised by nannies and surrogates for absentee parents in the cesspool that is Hollywood is sad.
It is obvious Ron P and Patti suffered greatly. But they are middle aged adults now, and the time is long past to realize their parents did the best they could with the emotional equipment they had. Time to forgive and move on.
Its a different time than it was then. NOw the media makes sure every important Politician's religious proclivities are at the forefront.
(they want to keep those stinkin' Christians out of power mainly so their sacred cow of abortion can continue)
