Wow! I just watched the movie “Reagan!” It has become my new favorite movie! If you haven't seen it, you have to watch it! You will fall in love with “Dutch” all over again. And for you folks not into politics, it’s a love story! It's a love story about his love of America and his wife, Nancy!
Ronald Reagan was the first President I voted for! It was 1984, the fall after graduation. I recall how angry my mother was that I registered as a Republican and declared my love for President Reagan and my plans to vote for him in the upcoming election. When I told my mom, you’d have thought I stabbed her in the back with a steak knife! She asked, “How the Hell can you vote for an actor to be the President?” She wondered,” What the Hell have I (she) done wrong that made you turn out like this?, “Did I abuse you in some horrible way or drop you on your head too hard?” Oh, and let's not forget… “Did you know that's the party that elected that crook Tricky Dicky?” Needless to say, she was very upset about all of it.
My mother was the woman who voted for Bill Clinton, bi***ed the entire time he was in office about his Veteran policies, the p**s poor way he ran the VA Hospital, high inflation, and his lack of morals for taking advantage of Monica Lewinski et al.! However, in true lockstep with the Democrat Party, she voted for that scoundrel a second time! She denied voting for him because she thought he was cute, but I really believe that was the only reason she flipped the lever for that predator again! Crazy!
From 1984-2000, I was unrelenting! I pointed out everything wrong with “her party” and how her party had screwed America Up and screwed over the American people! I was a brat about it, really. You know that kid at that kid in the checkout line at Walmart begging, demanding, and bargaining for that special thing that they will die if you don't buy it for them? Well, that was me… totally annoying! But, in the end… my evil plan worked, bawhahaha! My mom had finally had enough of the Democrat Party, and I know she was sick of me! I had finally done it! She went down to the election board and switched parties in 2000! Mom never admitted to voting for Clinton because she thought he was handsome. However, she did admit the Democrat Party was no longer her mother's Democrat Party, and they had left her behind. It was a proud day for our family!
Anyway, you have to see this movie! It's a beautiful story about a beautiful man and his love for his wife and his Country!
