THE PASSION OF RONALD REAGAN

An important new book, "God and Ronald Reagan: A Spiritual Life," is drawing
attention to the great spiritual nature of our 40th president. In the
book, author Paul Kengor details how Mr. Reagan's faith in Christ was a
central point in his life, especially in his role as president of the United
States.

In a March 19 article for AgapePress.com (
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/3/192004pk.asp ), Mr. Kengor, who is
an associate political science professor at Grove City College in Grove
City, Pa., detailed how President Reagan often "boldly brought Christ's name
into completely secular situations." In the article, Mr. Kengor noted how
President Reagan often utilized reflections of Christ in his speeches. In
one speech at Kansas State University in 1982, he observed how Mr. Reagan
personally added a line about "the Man from Galilee" into the dialogue.

Mr. Kengor's book is a significant work because, as the author notes, the
mainstream press often ignored or overlooked Mr. Reagan's exceptional
spiritual emphasis while he served as our president.

Knowing Reagan

I had the unique privilege of knowing Ronald Reagan and seeing firsthand his
markedly Christian faith. It was my pleasure to personally discuss matters
of faith with Mr. Reagan on a few occasions. These times were quite
humbling for me, really just a country preacher who God saw fit to place in
the public spotlight. It was truly awe-inspiring to experience intimate
Christian fellowship with the man I have long considered my ultimate
political hero. I truly believe that it was Ronald Reagan's deep faith in
Christ that defined him as a man and molded him as one of our nation's
finest leaders.

I know it's not accepted these days to live out one's faith in the public
spotlight, but maybe that's the primary problem with our nation. Civil
libertarians and devout secularists have become so thin-skinned and
hysterical about religious expression in the public square that the result
has become a society of cowardly leaders who have been intimidated into
prohibiting our religious freedoms.

However, the unprecedented popularity of Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of
the Christ" confirms that Americans continue to have a deep hunger to learn
more about Christ and to explore their own needs for spiritual fulfillment.

Ronald Reagan, as president, understood this. He knew that America needed a
spiritual base even in a political context. And he recognized that the
majority of his supporters voted for him because of his confident foundation
of personal faith. He was therefore willing to be categorized as an
extremist by the left because he comprehended that a spiritual leader was
vital to sustaining the spirit of America.

Four years after Mr. Reagan left office after his eight wonderful years of
leadership, the Clinton regime touted a new and nebulous spirit of
"diversity" and "tolerance" (a spirit which often isolates and disparages
conservative people of faith) that accelerated the quest for absolute
secularism.

Today, as Mr. Reagan slowly slips away under the terrible cloud of
Alzheimer's Disease, it is imperative that those of us who love and
appreciate him continue to communicate his impact on our culture. We have a
man in the Oval Office today who I believe embodies the Christian spirit of
President Reagan. Like Mr. Reagan and many of our Founding Fathers,
President Bush is not afraid to declare his Christian faith or to make it a
central part of his guidance of our nation.

I appreciate the fact that Mr. Kengor's new book has reminded us what a
exceptional president Ronald Reagan was. I encourage everyone to read it.
Meanwhile, may those of us who cherish the memory of Ronald Reagan determine
to sustain our current president through daily prayer. It is the least we
can do to preserve the spirit of Reagan that lives on in the Oval Office
through George W. Bush.

he funded and backed terrorists in Central America against the explicitly passed laws of the US Congress, for one example.

He will burn in hell.

at all.

I know they have been talking about it.

Yet Falwell pisses on Clinton, who DID go to church every week!

"It is the least we can do to preserve the spirit of Reagan that lives on in the Oval Office through George W. Bush."

I wondered why Clinton misbehaved. It must have been those little devils perching on his shoulder whispering, "Monica". But Bill is a good person and as much as Satan tried to derail him, he still accomplished a lot of good even though he gave into temptation.

I really don't want to know what is going on there now. Is Satan, disguised in his Jesus robes, sitting on the sofa with Reagan telling Shrubby what to do?

:evilgrin:

Ron and Nancy's explanation for not attending church regularly during his presidency was that it would be too distracting for the other parishoners. I think they just weren't all that interested in church, and that was a good out. They never even pretended to be Falwell type "Christians." Nancy was more interested in astrology.

Another case of a repuke lie that will go unchallenged.

Reagan wasn`t political or spiritual at all when he grew up. at least not in the way the "author" portrays him. he was in part influenced by his mothers Christian beliefs and other influences while growing up. but once in Hollywood, i doubt from all the stories, that he was "spiritual". he later ,as most people who are believers, looked more into the spiritual side of his life and all that, but his guy is completely out of his mind. love him or hate him,he was more of a man than george bush ever will be.

This is pure fiction.

For 2 reasons:

1. One, Reagan was never beaten.

2. He hadn't any sense to begin with.

While Pat Robertson was ga ga over the Gipper, he would fire any employee in his organization who dared to divorce for any reason.
Wasn't the reason for Reagan's divorce because he had to marry a pregnant Nancy? I think Robertson fires any women with out of wedlock pregnancies also.

But this wasn't abotu Pat Robertson, it was about Jerry Falwell. I get those two false prophets all mixed up. They are both Holier-than-thou Cinos. (Christian in name only) They feel they are so without sin they can always cast the first stone.

The RW propaganda machine was in full gear even back then and the liberals I guess bought it. Funny how the rules don't apply to them. They have been using smear propaganda for decades and the asskissing righties buy it, yet when it's one of theirs like Schwollenpecker, there is no moral criticism, or even honorable mention.

Don't let them try to make an issue of it if they completely ignored Reagan's divorce.

Kerry didn't get divorced so he could get married again before his love child was born. Reagan has proof of adultry. Her name is Patty.

Reagan gave us one thing, and that was a response to any wing nut who dares get all moral about Kerry having a divorce in his background. Reagan could have been a murderer, devil worshiper and have commited treason and these wing nuts would have still loved him because he was good at acting - playing the part of the POTUS. I personally think Martin Sheen plays the part better, he looks more presidential.

The Devil's not too thrilled about receiving Reagan. He thinks he might want to take over his throne.

It's in that bible, Jerruh. You know the verse better than me. Hypocrite.

on to the empty suit that was President Reagan. He and Nancy seem
more commited to Astrology than to Christianity. He was the first modern
President to nakedly pander to Christians to get their votes, and these
guys eat it up. Same crap that "deeply spiritual" Bush gets away with.

if he had any interest in Chri$tianity, it was only to exalt the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR even more.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

:puke:

What made him hate black people so much?

...at best.

May they all find the eternal justice, read "damnation," they claim for all the harm they've done to our people, country, world and future.

THey rarely even attended church- opting for a private Astrologer to visit the Whitehouse.

A matter of public fact, actually...
