It is astonishing to see the number of people on the Internet that have Quoted Ronald Reagan. All though it's been 22 years since leaving the White House and has been gone for eight, his legacy is still strong. He is with out a doubt the man of our Generation reinforced the notion that a Government that Governs less, Governs best.
Now that we have recently seen an Administration run a muck with Socialist ideals, not only can we agree on Reagan's statements but accept them as something he may have been warning us about.
He did not make those speeches for political gain during his years, he made them for future generations to hear an understand the importance of American freedom before we abide to something like "fundamentally transforming America".
Ronald Reagan was credited for revamping the Republican Party. He is not here to do that for us again, someone else all ready has. His name? Barack Obama.
The Following is one of the most Admired statements from a speech he gave on October 27, 1964. "Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves." Here are more of some very good Reagan quotes. You'll find that everyone of them profoundly apply to what your Government is doing today. "Free enterprise has done more to reduce poverty than all the government programs dreamed up by Democrats." "My friends, some years ago the federal government declared war on poverty - and poverty won." "I've noticed that everybody who is for abortion has already been born." "Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." "Wouldn’t it be better for the human spirit and for the soul of this nation to encourage people to accept more responsibility to care for one another, rather than leaving those tasks to paid bureaucrats?" "We could say Democrats spend money like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors. It would be unfair, because the sailors are spending their own money." "I don't think that making it difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain guns will lower the crime rate - not when the criminals will always find a way to get them." Today's hard-liner on law and order is yesterday's liberal who was mugged last night" "Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter (Barack Obama) loses his." "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." "I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress." "We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much." "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so". "I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited". "Freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we're going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children's children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free.
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

It is time to get back to a much smaller government. Even smaller than when he was in office.reply - Peggy 2012/08/13 14:02:40He's still with usI believe there are a few of us that remember what it was like to have a godly president that loved America more than himself.
