 Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2004 8:26 pm Post subject: Salutes to Reagan - did Kerry salute? |
 |
|
I watched the final televised ceremonies for Ronald Reagan at Simi Valley.
Quite a few individuals in civvies saluted Reagan in his casket.
My nomination for best salute - Mickey Rooney.
Mickey Rooney put a lot of emotion and respect into his personal farewell to Ronald Reagan. I was surprised and pleased to see Mickey Rooney there.
I haven't seen the footage yet, but I've heard Bill and Hillary Clinton dozed on camera during the Washington, DC church services. I am pleased but not suprised to hear this.

| I did not see John Kerry, but I did see the Clinton's dozing. Coudln't they have stayed home? After all this was not a good publicity stunt for either of them...but we are talking about the Clinton's...they have never really shown much class....and neither did Kerry by claiming he was not going to campaign but yet couldn't get to Simi without the cameras could he. Typical Kerry style. Lie, Lie and Lie and then smile for the cameras! |

Not only was I very impressed with the snappy salute given by Mickey Rooney, seeing Margaret Thatcher's determination to go to Simi Valley against doctors wishes as well as her bowing before the casket showed me how much respect they both had for him.
I was working during the actual funeral, but heard that Britt Hume was making feeble excuse for the Clintons apparent napping, claiming instead they were both deep in thought.  |

Britt Hume was actually saying it in a very sarcastic tone and giving possible excuses that the Clintons might have. Personally, I thought it was one heck of a good slam on them.
Margaret Thatcher - what a class act. Nuff said.

| I always did like the "Iron Lady". Was reported she had bought a black dress over a year ago for this and carried it with her everywhere. It was also reported she flew to the US against Dr's advice...and even boarded the plane and flew with Nancy to Simi Valley. Both ladies were a class act. When I saw Nancy at the end I cried (I am a girl and I can do that!!!!). Yet we have another class act with Laura Bush...hate to see Mrs. Theresa Heinz-Kerry as first lady. We just have to make sure THAT does not happen. |

I cried also, almost all week. So many of the major players came to pay respects. Did you see the Indian in full dress! That was great.
God forbid, we have a Kerry-Heinz first couple. It is always neck and neck in those damn polls! Hopefully the Bush-haters will begin to see Kerry is the biggest phony, liar and appeaser in the world. Wasn't it he who referred to N Vietnam as the "democratic, elected govt"?
Regarding Clinton: Reagan had so much respect for the Oval Office, he wouldn't even take off his jacket, say no more!

Both President Bush's follow this rule also!

10-4! Say no more!
They played Kerry's rants about Reagan back in the day on 77, WABC radio. It must have killed him to have to pay his respects. All week the left was going crazy.
They didn't know what to do, even when Ray Charles died, (Bless his soul, a great man), they kept showing his performance at the Republican Convention.

Someone said that was probably the first time they'd slept together in years!

Wearing what? A sari? A Nehru suit? Or; buckskins, moccasins and war bonnet?
Obviously, I didn't see that.

Your right, I wasn't exactly clear on that!
He was an American Indian Chief, I don't know what tribe. He stood at the foot of the casket and saluted.. It was printed in the NY Daily News and The Staten Island Advance.
I'll try to find it and post.

Puh-leeeez. That's NATIVE American Indian Chief...did you somehow manage to miss the re-education camp? Do you want to bring the wrath of God down upon this humble forum?
BTW, welcome aboard. |

I am 1/8 Sioux, and I am an Indian, nothing Native about me. But your right the rath of God will come down on us, even me. All I got to say is wait til it's Cowboy's and democrats and there won't be many of them left either. Semper Fi.
