i even recall ronnie stating publicly that he "was not a church goer"


Nancy had special phone lines installed in the White
House and at Camp David for consultations with astrologer Joan Quigley.



Ronald and Nancy Reagan have a long history of involvement with astrologers and psychics. As movie stars in 1950s Hollywood, they were close friends with celebrity astrologer Carroll Righter, and became a fixture at his glamourous monthly "zodiac parties." Later they met the late psychic Jeane Dixon, who served as Nancy's personal advisor for years. Nancy was always more enthusiastic about such paranormal matters than her husband, but Ron never shied away from them. Even as governor and as president, he happily made public his enjoyment of newspaper horoscopes, his many superstitions, and his avid interest in the occult.

In the 1970s, Reagan began to entertain notions of running for the presidency. By many accounts, Nancy became obsessed with the idea, and may have even wanted the White House more than Ron did. To help pave the way to Washington, she turned to her psychic friends. Around this time Nancy had a falling out with Jeane Dixon, losing all faith in the psychic's abilities. The most likely source of this estrangement was Dixon's prediction that Reagan did not have a chance of being elected president in 1976. Nancy went shopping for a new supernatural consultant who might tell her what she wanted to hear.

Nancy's friend Merv Griffin told her about an astrologer he'd had on his talk show named Joan Quigley. Griffin judged her abilities most impressive, and he arranged a brief meeting between the two during Reagan's campaign for the 1976 Republican nomination. At this meeting, Quigley concurred with Jeane Dixon's forecast that this was not to be Ron's year. In the pages of her memoirs, My Turn, Nancy claimed she does not remember meeting Quigley in person until 1985. Perhaps the content of Quigley's prediction had something to do with its lack of memorability.

As Reagan was mounting another campaign in 1980, Quigley contacted Nancy again, this time certain Ron would capture the Oval Office. They discussed "good" and "bad" times indicated by Reagan's astrology chart, and a few of Quigley's scheduling suggestions were carried out. Whether by the auguring of the heavens or not, Reagan went on to crush Jimmy Carter and whisked Nancy into the White House at last

2. Jesus"Sell all, give the money to the poor"
Mark 10:21

So how is any republican a christian?

The disciples were alarmed, so J. clearly meant the order to apply to everybody, not just the rich young man who asked "how do i enter heaven?"

J. ordered us all to live in holy poverty, like monks. We use the monastery's things, but we are all poor. Dems are semichristians, R.'s are ANTIchristians.
