Do you miss this guy? - Page 2

Yes I really do. Went to the library in Simi Valley with my son. We still talk about how much we enjoyed the experience. It's a must if you get the chance.

The first time I was old enough to vote - I was able to help put him into office for his first term.

A very principaled President and one I miss very much. You didn't have to believe in everything he did but you knew who you were dealing with from one day to the next. Polls were not his mandate,,he had a higher authority that he tried to please. We shall not see his kind for a very long time.

Our nation needs a leader like him in this current time.

SeanGAR · 02-10-2009, 09:16 AM

At the time wasn't a fan. Now I have a lot more respect.

Partagaspete · 02-10-2009, 11:37 AM

Best president in my lifetime without a doubt and probably in the top 5.

On another note: why the multiple threats to close the thread. The Professor merely answered the question though she did not care for him. However, she respectfully said so. No "drama", no name calling, no discord whatsoever.

Those are all good quotes. How did we get where we are today? I know which side I am on.

csbrewfisher · 02-10-2009, 12:01 PM

Ronaldus Magnus...the greatest president of our lifetime.

I hated him at the beginning of his presidency but by the end I thought he was history making type good. Clinton was exactly the opposite for me. I hope there is another Reagan in our future.

As far as quotes go I'm move of a Thomas Paine and Patrick Henery fan, but yes Regan does kick ass.

"Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henery

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. " Thomas Paine "The American Crisis"

Missed dearly.

While I was alive, and in diapers during his run, looking back I just go wow.

M1903A1 · 02-10-2009, 09:36 PM

He had a line in one of his speeches (from early in his administration, I think) that I've been trying to remember in the current crisis. Something about "I say we have a right to be optimistic. We're Americans".

And yeah, I've missed him for decades.
