I got this in am email and thought I would share it. These are some quotes from Ronald Reagan, one of the greatest presidents in modern times. God rest his soul.

"Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose."
- Ronald Reagan



"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
- Ronald Reagan

CLASSIC

"The trouble with our liberal friends are not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
- Ronald Reagan

"Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong."
- Ronald Reagan

"I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment's would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress."
- Ronald Reagan

"The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination."
- Ronald Reagan

"Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."
- Ronald Reagan

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
- Ronald Reagan

"The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program."
- Ronald Reagan

"I've laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting."
- Ronald Reagan

"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."
- Ronald Reagan

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
- Ronald Reagan

"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book."
- Ronald Reagan

"No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.
- Ronald Reagan

I'm sure the Air Traffic Controllers remember him fondly, but if you stage an illegal strike and someone has the courage to stand up to you then you can only blame yourselves. For more info on the late president see this article.

I have to admit that I was in college when Reagan was president and I was quite critical of him. Several professors had us dissect his speeches and took him apart and made him look bad. But reading this article was very enlightening. I am seeing Reagan in a different way. I didn't understand his economic policies back then. I just knew them as "Reaganomics". I remember the interest rates to purchase a home were in the high teens and things weren't so great. I remember the negative things like Iran Contra, and the fact that the Iranians released the hostages immediately after Reagan took office. I smelled funny business. But, again, seeing things through different eyes makes me think.

Dsmithz28 comes up w/another great thread. I'm not surprised.

Nice post! One of my proudest moments was at Epcot two years ago when in the hall of the presidents my two high school age daughters wanted to find the display with the Reagan memorabilia! :approve:
