Ronald Reagan – 1911-2004

It is a very sad day in America, and indeed, the world. Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States of America has left this world and entered eternity.

I was still a young skull full of mush when Reagan took office. I had not yet learned critical thinking skills and I believed many of the lies that were spoken of him in the liberal media. My conservative awakening took place in 1988. It was only in hindsight of his Presidency that I saw what a great man and President he had been. He was a man of integrity, character and humor, standing true to his beliefs no matter the opposition, all the time keep a smile on his face. Attempts to assasinate him did not keep him down. The Soviets did not keep him down. The hand-wringing liberals did not keep him down.

His policies, both home and abroad, brought freedom and prosperity across international borders. His courageous tax cuts set the stage for the economic boom America experienced in the 90\’s. His moral compass was set straight for the heart of God.

Truly, Reagan was the greatest President of the of our time, perhaps of the last century. He will be remembered fondly for his service to America, and to the world. Thank you Mr. President. I\’ll see you in heaven.

\”Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn\’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children\’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.\” – Ronald Wilson Reagan
