1. No Respenect for Reagan....None

The place where these young men were killed was Philadelphia, Mississippi.

Reagan kicked off his 1980 presidential campaign there. Oh, sure, Republi-primates say it was at the County Fairgrounds; not technically in Philadelphia. His speech was on states' rights.

I was an ex-vet, still in undergrad school at a Big Ten University at that time. I was horrified by the optics and the speech.

But talk about dancing on someone's graves.

No respect for that actor...zero...nada...nothing ever changed my mind.

2. My mother, an Eisenhower Republican if there ever was one, detested Reagan.

She worked in a doctor’s office in Des Moines in the 1930s when Reagan was working in radio at WHO. Reagan hurt his knee in a horseback riding accident, and treated with her doctor. She said Reagan was a jerk, and In her words, “He never drew a sober breath!”
