The image appears to be of a single mom, and that is what the libs wanted.

Okay...I get your point.....to liberals 'image' is more important than facts.

If you want to read something very strange, take a look at www.lightoftheworld.com. This Web site is authored by Reagan attempted assassin Greg Gordon (Los Angeles 1980's), and it documents how Gordon thinks that Reagan is the Anti-Christ. Get past the "tin foil alert" stuff and you will see an very interesting story.

he dies when Bush is in office instead of a Clinton

It's terrible to say, but I agree whole-hardedly. I couldn't stand the Clinton's being the 'star' attendees at HIS funeral. They shouldn't even attend, but you know they will.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon Ronald Reagan and his family.

Thank God for blessing us with this man.

We love you, Mr. President.

Nobody will upstage Ronald Reagan on the day of his burial.  Bill and Hillary's fake emotions won't.  Bill's laughter turned to fake tears won't.  The appearance of detractors, liars, spinners, instigators and separatists will not upstage Ronald Reagan.  Ronald Reagan's demeaner will permeate that scene and the croud.  It will be a stark contrast to the Clintons, their puppets and those that never had a kind word to say about him.

His was the vision of class, character and high discourse.  Contrast that to anyone that will be attending, let alone the soiled leftists/socialists/marxists among them.

I would venture that Bill prays that Reagan never dies.  On the day he is burried one will be measured with the other.  One's presence will be towering over them all.  The other's will struggle to reach their shoe laces.

As Nancy Reagan stands there the devotion of a lifetime exhuding from her, the two chumps from podunk will be seen for what they always were.

In death as in life, Ronald Reagan will have clearly framed what an empty shell the message and the protagonists of the left have always been.

McCarthy was right.  His problem was that he wasn't Ronald Reagan.  Mr. Reagan knew how to accomplish the same thing without the mistaken tactics.  More clearly today than ever before, we see what McCarthy had tried to warn us about.  Thank you Mr. President.

Mr. Reagan lived by example.  He saw the best in men.  His goal was to get government out of the way so we could stand back and see what humankind could truly accomplish.  Now there was a legacy. Who will overshadow that on any given day?

"We sang for about an hour until she went into a deep sleep. ... she had slipped away in the night. I think our singing helped her on her journey.

What you say is true.

May the lord Jehovah bless him and his family.

The most wonderful thing that Ronald Reagan gave to me, was pride in wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army. Having served under Carter, I felt that I had wasted my time joining the Army, RR gave me a reason to reup and meaning to wearing the uniform.

Thank You Sir.

*****I sure hope he dies when Bush is in office instead of a Clinton. *****

I agree. We usually hear these reports every year or so about Reagan being near death. It was always my hope that Reagan would not pass with clinton in the white house. It would have been so wrong for someone like clinton to be presiding at a Reagan funeral.

Ronald Reagan was a great man because he made us believe in ourselves again. He made being an American something to be proud of again.

I was in vet school when Carter sent in the military to rescue the Iranian hostages - I'll never forget that day in the small animal clinic with all of us huddled around a tiny tv - how rotten we all felt at the news of the helicopter crash, the hideous failure of the mission. I remember Nightline doing the hostage count every night. And then came Reagan.

I remember the debate between he and Carter where Reagan held up a dollar bill and promised to make it worth a buck again. Inflation was horrible. Carter was a miserable leader. And then came Reagan.

He is my knight in shining armor, and always will be. I pray God takes him soon. And I thank Nancy for her devotion and steadfastness.

It's nice to see things unfold as they should. I regret that I was too young to appreciate Reagan while he was President (he was elected when I was but eight years old).

I remember a mock-up at our school in '84 when computers were just becoming important. They (school administrators) had all of the students "vote" for who they wanted. I remember "voting" for Ronnie RayGun back then. Too bad the school was "infected" with liberals even then. You could see who voted for who... even then. Quite sad....

Fortunately, I was out of that school in 18 months, and went to a conservative school (even with liberal overtones...)

Casting my first vote as an adult for Ronald Reagan will always be one of my most cherished memories -- and one of my proudest moments.

Godspeed Mr. President.

The two Presidents who thought about political philosophy the most are Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan.

It's hard to imagine our nation without Ronald Reagan and it's also difficult for many of us to see our heros fade in their passing years and with word of Mr. Heston's diagnosis. I felt an emptiness, a void that someone else will have to fill. It is important that we revere what these Americans represent, and how they've impacted our lives. God Bless both of them, and all those "nobodies" who are out there.......I consider myself one of them......

Way back when I was a first-grader, we had a mock campaign and election for a class assignment. I was RR's 'campaign manager' informing the class about why they should vote for Ronny.

We won in a landslide. A few months later he did as well.

The campaign must begin for the: Ronald Reagan One Dollar Coin

I must give my dissent.

The dollar coin is too far low an honor for such a great President. Hence, my suggestion is the $10 dollar bill. Hamilton, while being a Founder, was never President.

President Ronald Reagan should replace Alexander Hamilton on our $10.

Period.

Death is simply another part of life, there is no emptiness.

There is good reason why Reagan's speeches are so cherished, his accomplishments are not forgotten, and his love for America ever vivid. As I stated previously, the efforts to bury the above will become more intense. Public schools will "forget" the man, the lies which were not appropriate today will be slandered throughout the streets after his death, and he will become "fair political game".

It's up to us, those who realize what he lived for, to be certain one of our nation's most accomplished presidents is forever rewarded for his achievements.
