1. No Respenect for Reagan....None

The place where these young men were killed was Philadelphia, Mississippi.

Reagan kicked off his 1980 presidential campaign there. Oh, sure, Republi-primates say it was at the County Fairgrounds; not technically in Philadelphia. His speech was on states' rights.

I was an ex-vet, still in undergrad school at a Big Ten University at that time. I was horrified by the optics and the speech.

But talk about dancing on someone's graves.

No respect for that actor...zero...nada...nothing ever changed my mind.
