Reagan Quotes
via Right Wing News And how stands (America) on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was 8 years ago. But more than that: After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she’s still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home. 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, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and … Read entire article »

Ronald Reagan, R.I.P.
God bless you, Mr. President. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide now have the chance to enjoy God’s gift to humanity, freedom, because of you. I don’t know how God will judge your life, but I hope the choirs of angels sang for your walk through the Pearly Gates. For a man that the loony left derided as dumb, asleep, a puppet, you sure made a difference in those eight years. George Bush can take hope from that, I think. The lefty snobs have been wrong before, and it led to changes that will reverberate for generations. I believe it will happen again, and these eight years will finally address the menace of Islam that has been ignored for so long. Go in the peace of God, Mr. President. Know that you … Read entire article »

Sleep Well, America!

In 1980, Communism, the Soviet Russian version, was winning. Slowly, but winning none the less. Thirty years of MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction, had taken its toll of America’s spirit and America’s military. We knew that the Russians would come through Fulda Gap, not if but when. We were outnumbered and outgunned in Europe and around the world. In our own hemisphere, the hemisphere of the Monroe Doctrine, the Soviets had footholds in three nations and were about to make that four or five. The President of the United States talked about our national “malaise”. Then, the nation asked Ronald Wilson Reagan to be its President. When you tuck your children into bed tonight, remember Ronald Wilson Reagan and thank God for his life. Bless him because your children can sleep without fear of … Read entire article »
