REAGAN@100

Ronald Reagan is like the Abraham of today’s Conservatives. I remember the 80′s but at that time I could not intellectually wrap my mind around such a notion that the biggest obstacle for the State was and is freedom.

Again, keep up the terrific work, Mr. Whittle.

Thanks Bill… I was at least as incoherent as you.

The day he was elected was my first day to vote. I voted against him, knowing that if I lost I would be sent to war. After all, my liberal parents told me so. To save my neck, I went to the USCG Training Center in Alameda that very day to begin basic training. If I was busy guarding the Coast he wouldn’t be able to send me off somewhere to be killed, you see.

I said I was clueless… not stupid. Saving lives in helicopter rescue with the Coast Guard was a thrilling experience, and I’m left with no regrets.

It would be more than 10 years later that I would start to see what I fool I had been… just how wrong my parents were. How mistaken they were of the nature of his character, his abilities, and his intentions. Somehow, I don’t know how, I found Reagan. Thank God I found Reagan… long out of office, yet triumphant still… with victories so astounding in their dimensions.

Thank you, Bill, for reminding me of my days leading out of the darkness, and the greatest President that this nation has known.
