PATRIOTIC RELEVANCIES FROM A GREAT AMERICAN

By President Ronald Reagon

“We can rekindle the spirit of America, because God intended this land to be free; because we are free to dream, to plan, and to make our dreams come true.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

“My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.

“We should measure welfare’s success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.

“The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.

“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

“Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have.

“We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

“How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
