Ronald Reagan Dies and Who Opens their Mouth? His son. Ronnie Jr. For those who do not know this kid never gave a damn about his father and at one time when Reagan thought he had lost all hope at raising him as a decent human being enlisted his good friend William F. Buckley to help assist him. After Reagan dies, Junior gets his spurs and tries to make a political name for himself? I always think of that movie where Nic Cage is defending the presidents wife and her wayward son comes to elicit their family name and she rebuffs him.
I am ticked off at Jr's attacking the swifties & playing the part of a political operative on MSNBC with Mathews, which mind you he would never dare do while his father was still alive.
But here is Buckley rebutting Junior.
RR Jr.: The nude picture of his sister Patti in Playboy was "just something that is not too exciting."
WFB: "Why then was there so much excitement about it?"
RR Jr.: As for his father's reaction when he dropped out of Yale to join the ballet, "That was fine with him."
WFB: "It wasn't fine with him and he enlisted my aid in trying to persuade you to stay in college."
RR Jr.: Having three cats while being childless "is like having children." WFB: "No, it's not like having children."
RR Jr.: As to whether his mother helps him out financially, "Of course not. My father felt that children should make their own way."
WFB: "I know, and you know that I know, something about that question. But to say that 'of course' your mother does not help you out suggests she will not do so even if there were a need. Are you saying she would not acknowledge you in her will?"
RR Jr.: As to the Abu Ghraib prison abuses, "How can Christians tolerate it?"
WFB: "I don't know of any Christians who 'tolerate it.' The perpetrators are reviled."
RR Jr.: In an answer to a question, he said he did not vote for Bush in the last election.
WFB: "Odd that you should permit this invasion of privacy whose only purpose is to remark the political infidelity of the son of Ronald Reagan."
RR Jr.: His father "worked hard to impress upon his children the value of kindness."
WFB: "If he did, he was manifestly unsuccessful."
Made me sick watching Junior defend Kerry a communist. His father is barely dead and he is out helping his fathers enemies. Makes me mad as HELL!
Btw, for those who have read a lot about Ronald Reagan he would often ask his closest friends how better to raise his kids. He couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong with 2 of his children. (Reagan has 4 children the rejects are Patti and Jr.) But the thing was Ronnie Jr. & Patti were just too spoiled and in his love spared the rod a bit too much. Quite simple in reflection. _________________ "An activist is the person who cleans up the water, not the one claiming its dirty."
