Still gets me teary eyed. Speech made June 12, 1987.


This was 18 months before he left
office. According to Libs, Reagan
was so devastated by Alzheimers
by this time he could barely feed
and dress himself. Does the person
giving this speech sound in the
least bit confused or unsure of
himself? My mother in law has
Alzheimers. She looks OK, but she
could never read something out loud
like a speech. She would constantly
lose her place. Not only did Reagan
read it well, he had all the intonations
exactly right. He paused when they
applauded and went right back to
where he left off. A person with
Alzheimers would have no idea where
they left off, none.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

1984 is a best seller again
Due to Trump, people now have to research double speak regarding alternative facts that are in reality a fantasy


I wonder how the movie "Brazil" is doing with Golden Boy now on the throne. If you recall, the purpose of the repressive government apparatus was to root out terrorists. I can also see a Golden Boy decree to charge undocumented immigrants for their detention.

I never imagined the thought police would become a reality

CBS News: Florida Senate committee passes "Don't Say Gay" bill that would bar LGBTQ discussions in schools.

That must really irk the teachers, staff and school administrators as they seem to have a disproportionately high percentage of gay members.

Teachers can't discuss genders fron k to 3rd grade
Teachers can't say gay
It's the don't say gay law :-)
It's a nanny state law handcuffing what Teachers can say in the classroom
This is the conservative reaction to gays coming out of the closet
They absurdly think it's because they are groomed in elementary school.
It's nanny state BS

I agree
There isn't a single teacher in the country teaching a kid to be gay or not.
It's absurd
You can't be taught to be gay
Desantis thinks Teachers are teaching kids to be gay
It's so absurd and dumb

Just a pedophiles opt for the priesthood, so do gays (esp. gay men) opt to become teachers / educators.

The environment they choose to work in accepts and protects them, which is fine.

School is a place for kids to learn and to experience socialization.

Why would concepts of "sexual orientation" need to be discussed in any event before kids reach puberty?

I see nothing wrong with "Don't say gay" so long as there is also "Don't say straight."
