Ontos-on-Thanks for the kind words. I have been lurking on Free Republic since early 1998 but seldom post. Like you, I prefer to dwell on the beautiful eulogies of this past week and try not to read too much into anything. When I take a moderate stance on FR it seems someone wants to slam me. Years ago, when I objected to being accosted by anti-gay protesters on my church's steps, I was slammed for advocating the gay lifestyle even though my minister had openly condemned it. Why don't Freepers realize how hateful they sound in some of these rants!!!! I don't think RWR would agree with any of this rancor.

Please re-read my remarks to you and see there isn't a speck of "hate" nor rant to be found. I am in complete agreement that the week was a solemn, uplifting, breathtaking display of honor, nobility, ceremony and patriotism, that I will never forget and I will always be grateful to the Reagan family for opening the services for all of us to witness and thereby participate in, in our own way.

This thread, however, was about the remarks specificially of Ron Reagan, and if you wish to ignore them, it is best to not come on and chastise others for discussing them, or worse, pretend the words were not said.

And please note, there is not one bit of "rancor" in the above objective comments.
