Let’s focus on common sense and natural law

Ronald Reagan on Government
“Man is not free unless government is limited.” – We have long since discovered that nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.” – “Government tends not to solve problems, only rearrange them.” – It is rather to make it [government] work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it’ foster productivity not stifle it.”

Ronald Reagan on Deficits
“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.” – “Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.”

Ronald Reagan on Communism (Marxist Socialism)
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” – “ I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written.” – “Communism only works in Heaven, where they don’t need it, and in Hell where they already have it.”

Ronald Reagan on Liberty
“I have always believed that America is strongest and freest and happiest when it is truest to the wisdom of its founders.” – “Individual liberty depends on keeping government under control.”

Ronald Reagan on America’s Youth
“… Always remember that you are Americans, and it is your birthright to dream great dreams in this sweet and blessed land, truly the greatest, freest, strongest nation on earth.” – “Each year, after my election in 1980, we hosted Young America’s Foundation at the White House. Together we accomplished much of what has been known as the Reagan Revolution. [In 2006, Young America Foundation opened the Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara, California.]”

Ronald Reagan on Inspiration and Families
“If we ever forget that we are ‘One Nation under God,’ then we will be nation gone under.” – “There is no institution more vital to our nation’s survival than the American family.”- “… As long as we remember our first principles and believe in ourselves, the future will always be ours.”
