Buchanan on Reagan

Pat Buchanan writes a tribute to Ronald Reagan at The American Conservative, Jul. 5:

“Hopeful, big-hearted, idealistic — daring, decent and fair.” So Ronald Reagan said of America in his second inaugural. And so it shall be said of him.

He came from another time and place, Ronald Reagan did, a time long ago when love of country was as natural for a boy growing up in Illinois as was a faith that nothing was beyond the capacity of the great and good people whence he had come.

He had a lifelong love affair with America, with her history, heroes, stories, and legends. Now he is one of those legends....

(Thanks, Earl — who has apparently been holding out on us.)
