Conservative crowd polite

Those who attended enjoyed a very special evening recently at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library when Sen. Edward Kennedy, "the loyal opposition," was the speaker. The crowd gave him a standing applause numerous times. The audience was polite and enjoyed his sense of humor.

Not all ideas were agreed upon. His statement, "Medicare for all," I do not think went over well, but there was no heckling, no shouting down and no intolerance for one’s ideas. You sensed in this man a great sense of warmth, loyalty to family first and deep personal tragedy. High marks must go to him because he continues.

Whenever I see a conservative speaker in front of a liberal audience, it seems they are just there to be belittled and humiliated. The utmost respect was shown Kennedy. I would like to see a conservative speaker given a similar reception in front of a self-proclaimed progressive crowd.
