IF YOU’RE NOT A “CERTAIN AGE”, YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND…...

You probably don’t understand why I loved Ronald Reagan and miss him so much.

Not only because I used to watch him on GE Theater, but because he was so “real”.....yes, he was an actor, but he was a real man in ways that so many politicians these days are not.

You can get a flavor of it in THIS VIDEO CLIP.

This is the man who stood for the right and against the Soviet Union when he was virtually alone in his convictions, and under constant daily assault from a hostile press and political class in Washington, D.C. We could use a few more like him today.

UPDATE: That clip has been dug out because of an event at the Connecticut debate among the three Senate candidates. As Senator Joe Lieberman was giving his closing statement, heckling broke out from the crowd. The moderator tries to quiet things down…..the Senator does (I’m afraid) his usual thing, and the heckler keeps right on. Finally, the Republican challenger, a guy who is a distant third in this race, with his support in single digits, gets up and makes his statement.

GOOD STUFF!
