President Reagan: 40th Anniversary of D-Day — June 6th, 1984

Sorry to be off topic, but I wanted to bring to people's attention that CSPAN2's BookTV is reprehensibly devoting 3 hours tomorrow, Sunday, June 7, at 12:00 PM est to BILL AYERS. The show is live and usually in these In Depth shows they have viewers call in to ask questions. This is a disgusting act by CSPAN and Ayers needs to hear from as many of us as possible who can call in, while the channel also needs a good slap to the face.

Sorry 'O'…..THIS is how to make a D-Day speech. You will never measure up no matter how effective your teleprompter.

The right wing is like a pit bull on a baby with this utter Nonsence over Reagan. Over half the woes we are fighting today are a direct result of this mans incompatence,…or alzheimers. He was even a worse Governer of California. He probably thought he was in Malibu when he did this. No matter how ernest one tries to shape the past for a personel agenda, Bulls@$t is still Bullsh@$t.

What is "bullsast?" I've never heard that one before.

I sure miss him…Anyone hear the interview Mark Larson had yesterday? (subbing for Hugh Hewitt) had with RR's long time Secret Service bodyguard? The man had character.

John Barletta – you can hear the interview at hour 1 –

Well, when I submit it truncates half the URL – goto http://www.hughhewitt.com; podcasts and it is hour 1 yesterday

BTW a memory I will always have – seeing RR's last campaign stop in the 1980 election – was living in San Diego at the time – he stopped at the Mission Valley Center parking lot – 2 hours late – but nobody cared – on election eve.

Man, I really miss that guy!

The best speech of D-Day..ever. You can never have a dry eye while listening to this man speak on the importance of this day.

He is sorely missed.

Sorely missed is right!
He fixed this country after Jimmy "Smiles" Carter nearly destroyed it….Now, Jimmy Carter "Part Deux" is trying to destroy it again and we have no Ronnie to fix it!

This speech epitomizes a great president and a great man. Always mindful of the sacrifices others have made so that he can stand in this place and give a heartfelt speach. This is how a President is supposed to act.

Thanks.

I have tears welled up in my eyes as I write this. The sacrifices those men made are incomprehensible. And the way President Reagan described them was so moving. One could tell that Reagan spoke from the heart. Sadly, there are no more statesmen like Reagan that are part of the political landscape. Reagan was real and genuine, unlike the dictator that's currently running the country. Reagan is one of a handful of world statesmen that the 20th century produced. (The others being Churchill, Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II.)

I second your thank you's to the veterans and your father for their brave service. Reagan's speech is in the pantheon of all time greatest speeches.

I MISS RONALD REAGAN! I WANT RONALD REAGAN BACK!

Blank,

You're a moron – period.

Not yet Brother but please keep the faith. We need you.

I share your disgust at the airtime C-Span is giving Ayers. It's one thing to present a variety of viewpoints, and from what I've seen, I think C-Span does a pretty good job of simply putting ideas out there and letting viewers come to their own conclusions about what they're hearing. But there has to be a "cut-off" point as far as what views you legitimize by giving them 3 hours of airtime, and C-Span is showing poor judgement in this case.

He was a class act and always spoke of the achievements or sacrifices of others. Even though this speech was tearful, it was uplifting in that we honored those who paid the ultimate price so we can enjoy our freedoms.
How sad that at present we have a classless dictator who makes every instance of time a story about himself.

Where are you President Reagan when we need you ?? You inspired all of us to be the best we could be, You made me so proud to be a American. Now we have a President who flies all over the world telling everyone who will listen how horrible and rotten this nation is and bowing down to Kings and apologizing for everything that has ever happened. I am sick of Obama making this great nation look like North Korea. He never says anything good about America, He only sees the negative. To Obama the glass is half empty, Not have full. We need someone to inspire us again, To tell us it is " Morning in America again ". I miss you very much President Reagan, You are a hero and a inspiration to me. By the way readers, I am a 48 Y/O black AMERICAN veteran of the US Navy.

How can we praise the eloquence of presentation and the heartfelt sincerity of a Pres Reagen speech? After all, he is not Ivy League educated, not even a lawyer, like our current occupier of the Oval Office and the America-haters he has surrounded himself for advice and guidance. God Bless Pres Reagen and those that served and saved this great country!

The closest thing the left has is FDR and he imprisoned thousands of Japanese civilians. I guess I can see how you'd be jealous of someone who also landslided both his elections to President. Where I don't think any of yours have. Someone who essentially ended Communism in the USSR. Someone who gave us one of the longest economic upturns in history. Yeah, I can see why you're acting like a little liberal child. Keep whining, because your current office holder couldn't hold Reagan's jockstrap. By the way, it's spelled incompetence and Obama is the picture of it. 'Nother lefty moron.

I'm with you. I was in the Army when he was President and we knew we had someone who cared about us, at the top.

He's probably a 60 year old hippie. Which makes it a little more disturbing that he hasn't grown up yet.

Amen!

Ronald Reagan was a man among men. He made us proud to be Americans because he exuded pride in this country. Unlike what we have today, he was a man of integrity who meant everything he said. Obama only says what will get him the most brownie points for that particular moment in time. Reagan makes Obama look like the loser he is, and it is most disheartening that we have lost so much of our moral fiber as a people that he was ever elected to the office that was once occupied by great men.

This was the only time I had ever wished that there were no term limits on a President. Thank you President Reagan. Thank you Soldiers and Sailors.

There is no comparison to the Gipper and that creature occupying the Oval Office.
