    There are so many analogies for this. I could wax on forever. But I might let the photo speak for me..... a million words.....

  • I watched parts of the Kentucky Derby on TV. I was appalled at how many people who may have stood but did not show any respect while the anthem was being sung.

    Some of them were texting, drinking or laughing and talking.

    What a terrible shame. Off-Subject I know. But a signifcant difference than when Ronald Regan was in charge.

    Shoot a couple for me, Mike!

    And I agree Bonnie. Lack of respect abounds

  • One more, maybe: Reagan, on an open microphone he knew was open, "mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Maobama, on an open microphone he didn't realize was broadcasting, told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have "more flexibility" in missile defense negotiations after the 2012 elections. Integrity versus duplicity. Americanism versus "G-dd-mn America." Both swore an oath to protect and defend the nation and the constitution. One actually meant it. The other is running for re-election.

  • Good post. I especially like the comparison pictures of President Reagan on the horse and the Kowtower on the bike.

    I had the pleasure of being in the presence of President Reagan when I was in the military. He spoke as a down to earth person, who wanted the best for all. The media hated him and did their best to destroy him. His mannerisms were so strong and clear the American people saw him in a light the press could not understand. I'm glad I was there and will always remember it.
