He’s busy…

Have a wonderfully  snarky cartoon on His Oneness and Egypt.

On the 100th…

This is one of the best pieces you will read on the occasion of Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday.  Here’s   a link to the Patti Davis piece which Peggy Noonan mentions.

Read this remembrance by Chuck Fleischmann of his meeting with Reagan.   If you don’t recognize the name,  go to the end and see where Chuck is now.

To hear some of  Reagan’s  speeches,  try  History Place.   The link is to the  tear down this wall” speech,  but my other favorite is the boys of Pointe du Hoc  (text here).

Many writers are producing pieces on the great man,  including Paul Kengor,  Tasha  Kheiriddin,   Martin  Tullai,  and also on humor,   Peter  Schweizer. There’s also on by Andrea Billups on Nancy Reagan’s  contribution to her husband’s legacy.

I don’t think Ed Rollins  is wrong,  but it would take more than another few Reagan presidencies for me to trust America as represented by government again.   Matt Lewis ponders the course of  the bullet.

Tevi Troy writes about his  pro-Israel sentiments,  George Weigel on RR and  the Pope,  and a Washington Times editorial on strength-based  foreign policy,  while Jane Hampton Cook looks at his  quiet diplomacy.   Stephen Dinan has  a look at views of Reagan.

Lou Cannon,  no conservative,  has a  good column up on Reagan.   The L.A. Times has  the first of a multi-part series on Reagan.  Cal Thomas nails one  enormous difference between RR and His Oneness.   Robert McFarland  tells us what he thinks made his boss great.   Lorne Gunter writes about his  communication skills,  and Steve Hayward  comments on liberal discovery of respect for the man.
