FAREWELL TO PRESIDENT GERALD FORD
2007-01-03 01:10:01 ...as he leaves Washington, DC for the last time today. "In President Ford, the world saw the best of America and America found a man whose character and leadership would bring calm and healing to one of the most divisive moments in our nation's history," President George W. Bush said in his eulogy. The elder President George H.W. Bush, opening the eulogies, called Ford a "Norman Rockwell painting come to life" and pierced the solemnity of the occasion by cracking gentle jokes about Ford's reputation as an errant golfer. He said Ford knew his golf game was getting better when he began hitting fewer spectators. Henry Kissinger, Ford's secretary of state, paid tribute to Ford's leadership in achieving nuclear arms control with the Soviets, in the first political agreement between Israel and Egypt and in helping to bring majority rule to southern Africa, among other achievements often overlooked in the modest man. "In his understated way he did his duty as a leader, not as a ...

Gerald Ford And Gays: The Unknown Story
2007-01-01 13:08:01 Hat tip to GayOrbit for highlighting this article. Ford Praised For Backing Gay Equality - Washington Blade Although Ford did not take a public stand on gay issues during his presidency, gay activists have credited him with using his enormous stature as a past president and elder statesman to speak out for gay civil rights. In a widely read interview in October 2001 with lesbian columnist Deb Price of the Detroit News, Ford called on his fellow Republicans to join him in supporting equal treatment for gay people. “I have always believed in an inclusive policy, in welcoming gays and others into the party,” Ford said. “I think the party has to have an umbrella philosophy if it expects to win elections.” When asked by Price if gay couples should receive the same economic benefits as married couples, such as Social Security and tax deductions, Ford said, “I don’t see why they shouldn’t. I think that’s a proper goal…I think they ought to be treated equally. Period.” Ford’s gay-supportive...

Gerald Ford and the Gay?s
2006-12-30 04:29:03 I wasn’t planning on posting on the life of Gerald Ford because I want this blog to focus on gay issues here in Michigan, but after reading this wonderful article over at Express Gay News, and seeing that he was from Michigan I felt I should. When asked by Price if gay couples should receive the same economic benefits as married couples, such as Social Security and tax deductions, Ford said, ?I don?t see why they shouldn?t. I think that?s a proper goal?I think they ought to be treated equally. Period.? May you rest in peace President Ford.

Gerald Ford 1913-2006
2006-12-27 19:16:00 Former President Gerald Ford passed away on December 26, 2006. We would like to take the time to reflect on this man who had the monumental task of boosting America's morale during one of our lowest points in history.KJW: In his August 8, 1974 resignation speech, President Richard Nixon, stated that "the first essential is to begin healing the wounds of this Nation, to put the bitterness and divisions of the recent past behind us, and to rediscover those shared ideals that lie at the heart of our strength and unity as a great and as a free people."Gerald Ford was the person who first and foremost was charged with that responsibility. In his first and most historic step toward that end he pardoned President Nixon on September 8, 1974. In doing so he said in part:"My conscience tells me clearly and certainly that I cannot prolong the bad dreams that continue to reopen a chapter that is closed. My conscience tells me that only I, as President, have the constitutional power to firmly s...

Former President Gerald Ford Dies
2006-12-27 13:10:02 Former President Gerald Ford died today at the age of 93. Ford was the longest living President ever. He replaced Richard Nixon as President after Nixon resigned in 1974. He took office minutes after Nixon resigned in disgrace over the Watergate scandal and flew off into exile and declared “our long national nightmare is over.” But he revived the debate a month later by granting Nixon a pardon for all crimes he committed as president. That single act, it was widely believed, cost Ford election to a term of his own in 1976, but it won praise in later years as a courageous act that allowed the nation to move on. He was in the White House only 895 days, but changed it more than it changed him. Even after two women tried separately to kill him, the presidency of Jerry Ford remained open and plain. Not imperial. Not reclusive. And, of greatest satisfaction to a nation numbed by Watergate, not dishonest. Even to millions of Americans who had voted two years earlier for Richar...
