Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Dave says How many of you are old enough to remember when you thought "he's insane"?
On June 12, 1987 I was 27 years old. And I thought Reagan was bonkers, with this speech.
I was 29, and I thought something along the lines of 'Bleep-DAMN, I'm glad I voted for him!' And it amazed me how many people had the same reaction as Dave; I wondered "How can you say you believe in freedom, in the individual, and NOT want that damned wall down?"
I still don't have a real answer to that. And I'm still glad I voted for him.
Both times.

Unfortunately, I wasn't old enough to vote for him. But I remember that. I thought it was awesome. I was 8 years old. Blows my mind that so many people that, like me, grew up with that and still turned out liberal.
I remember when they built the damn thing. I was 35 when Reagan made his speech.
Proud to say he was my only Commander-in-Chief when I served under the flag...
