Remembering President Reagan

June 25, 2007 · Posted in Civics 

I got this in an email and thought it would be good to remember some of the things he said and stood for.

Just for fun.

“Here’s my  strategy on the Cold War:   We win,  they  lose.”

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

“The   trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant: It’s just that  they know so much that isn’t so.”

“Of  the four  wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too  strong.”

“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.”

“The   taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t  have to take the civil service examination.”

“Government is  like a baby:  An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no  sense of responsibility at the other

“The nearest  thing to eternal  life we will ever see on this earth is a government  program

“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”

“It  has  been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned  that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”

“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.”

“Politics   is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you  disgrace  yourself you can always write a book.”

“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.”

“If  we  ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation  gone  under.”
