The Wisdom of Ronald Reagan 3

Categories Politics, Quotation, Thinking
“A few isolated groups in the backwater of American life still hold perverted notions of what America is all about. Recently in some places in the nation, there’s been a disturbing reoccurrence of bigotry and violence. … To those individuals who persist in such hateful behavior … you are the ones who are out of step with our society. You are the ones who willfully violate the meaning of the dream that is America, and this country because it does what it stands for will not stand for your conduct.”
—Ronald Reagan at the NAACP Convention, Denver, 29 June 1981.

And that is how a president condemns racial bigotry and violence.

This is #3 of 3 Reagan quotes this week.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.

Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
