[…] This Ain’t Hell remembers D-Day by remembering how Ronald Reagan remembered it. What the Hell did I just say? […]

I know that the Obama ass kissers have tried many times to equate Obama’s speeched with Ronaldus Maximus’s speeches, but I seriously doubt that he can give any speeck today that can come close to comparison with this one, because Obama is missing the key ingredient; sincere humility.

Ooops, typing slower than brain. Please disregard errors in previous post.

That’s ok, oldtrooper. Got the thought loud and clear. And no, the 0 can’t come close. Even though they tried to compare his apology to Reagan’s “Tear down this wall” speech, he didn’t come close. When you speak from personal weakness, it comes through all the flowery words.

Last night the History Channel had a program about D Day. One segment was the taking of Pointe du Hoc. Of the 225 members of the Ranger unit which took it only 90 survived. (One was Col. Earl Rudder who went on to served as President of Texas A&M.)
