Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan
« on: February 06, 2012, 05:52:25 PM »
He would have been 101 today.

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."
Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th President of the United States



Happy Birthday Mr. President....Your missed. Especially today.

There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Well, Ike was the original RINO as I recall. 

My list only drops Truman as Ike was there when I was born.

Well, I was born when LBJ was President.  Unfortunately.  As I said, Reagan has been the only good one since I have been alive.

and every highway would have a stretch built straight enough to facilitate runways for American Aircraft (just in case)....

JFK would be considered a Republican by today's standards.....
