This President Inspired Trust, Patriotism, Freedom

“100th Birthday of Ronald Reagan” – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, February 6, 2011

Of Faith in our Nation: “The image of George Washington kneeling in prayer in the snow is one of the most famous in American history. He personified a people who knew it was not enough to depend on their own courage and goodness, they must also seek help from God, their Father and Preserver.” 1983

“We come filled with pride and gratitude [this month] to honor George Washington, Father of our Country, knowing that because of what he did, we’re free and we’re Americans … He did more than live up to the standards of the times; he set them. George Washington and his generation of Americans met their challenge. We can, and we must, and we will meet ours.” 1981

“When I took the oath of office, I pledged loyalty to only one special interest group: “We the people”. Those people – neighbors and friends, shopkeepers and laborers, farmers and craftsmen – do not have infinite patience. The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is kindled; it burns like a consuming flame…” 1984 [All of this letter’s quotes are from Reagan Ranch 2007 Calendar – Common Sense & Patriotism.]

Federal Intrusion in Our Lives:


“Common sense told us that when you put a big tax on something, the people will produce less of it. “You can’t be for big government, big taxes and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy.” So, we cut the people’s tax rates and the people produced more than ever before.” 1989 “We have long since discovered that nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.” 1992
America’s Greatness:

“How can we not believe in the greatness of America? How can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of man on earth? After all our struggles to restore America, to revive confidence in our country, hope for our future – after all our hard won victories earned through the patience and courage of every citizen- we cannot, must not and not turn back. We will finish our job. How can we do less? We’re American.” 1984

The People & the Government:

“All of us should remember that the federal government is not some mysterious institution, comprised of buildings, files and paper. The people are the government. What we create we ought to be able to control.” 1981 “I have always believed that America is strongest and freest and happiest when it is truest to the wisdom of its founders.” 1988

The Perils of Professional Public Officials:

“Too often, character assassination has replaced debate in principles in Washington, D.C. Destroy someone’s reputation and you don’t have to talk about what he stands for.” “One thing our Founding Fathers could not foresee … was a nation governed by professional politicians who had vested interest in getting elected.” 1987

Strong National Defense & Economy:

“The dustbin of history is littered with the remains of those countries which relied on diplomacy to secure their freedom. We must never forget … in the final analysis … that it is our military industrial and economic strength that offers the best guarantee of peace for America in times of danger.” 1972

George H. Kubeck - a traditional presidency brings light. Any other brings darkness.
