Wow-I was just about to chime in when I read your post. Well said. I was 14 in '79 and was already more of a man then Carter. Then came Reagan. Never looked back. Once.

Let's add the USA Olypic hockey team in '80. I still remember those college kids running the Red Army players through the glass every time the pinkos even thought about going near the puck and the crowd chanting USA USA USA USA.

Still get chills.

Dittos on this.
A lot of us in the 30s to 50 ‘get it’ because we lived through the contrast between liberal incompetence and conservative leadership in our formative years.
the older fogey hippies are living in the 60s while the younger gen are living through the age of celebrity.

I was running around the house as a 12 year old cheering and so nervous I couldn’t sit still.

How about the Reagan announced that the hostages were coming home. I get chills typing this 30 years later. Not the chills that that dork (whatever his name is) from CNN gets with 0bama.
