Poppy's warning to Son in Speech at Reagan's Funeral

Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 01:09 PM by KoKo01
I wrote these two comments down from his emotional eulogie at Reagan's funeral yesterday because they stood out. While not as lengthy as Ron Reagan's comments in the private funeral which were a clear cut stab at the Chimp's "wearing his religion on his sleeve," Poppy's comments can be viewed as another statement pointing at his sons tragic flaws.

Here are the quotes about what Poppy Bush said he learned from Reagan: "..he taught me kindness and courage." and "..he never made an adversary into an enemy." The latter is a definite comment on the mess his son has made in the world, imho.

The "big guns" indeed are warning the Chimp and probably working against him if one can look at Poppy's comments and Ron Reagans.

I hope I can find a transcript of Poppy's speech because there were some other comments which were far different from his son's belligerant, self promoting eulogie. But, when I Googled I couldn't find a transcript.

ON EDIT: Please see Post #4 where "AntiCoup" has put the text of Poppy's speech there, and there are more interesting quotes in my reply to #4. It's really worth a read for understanding the psychodrama between father and son and their views.
