Ronald Reagan: "Within the cover of that single book (the Bible) are ALL the answers to ALL the problems that face us today....if we'd only read AND believe."
"The First Amendment was not written to protect people and their laws from religious values, it was written to protect those values...from government tyranny."
"I've said that we must be cautious in claiming God is on our side; I think the real question we must answer is, 'Are we on *His* side?'"
The Gipper gives great testimony to the Lord in this video as the source of his personal conviction, hope and strength, as well as America's.
Ronald Reagan: this nation's last sane president who understood the necessity for prudance and foresight within the context of freedom.
Last sane American President; the last REAL American President; And the last Presidential statesman to be proud and honored to be American.
Prudent judgment, foresight, an appreciation for our past; A respect for our traditions, heritage, roots, and collective and individual sacrifice. A man whose personal strength reflected our national strength. You knew he had America's back, a man -- one of us -- a great protector and uniter. He loved us and our nation as a parent loves his child. A man of great integrity. The contrast between he and 0blabla is as stark as day and night.
Here's a short 10 minute speech by the Gipper on Independence Day on July 4, 1986, in NYC. Poignant for several reasons -- the obvious, the contrast with the current Hater-in-Chief of America.
Within this 10 minutes Reagan actually took the time to remind the audience about the significance of Independence Day, as well as a brief story about the strange friendship between Jefferson and Adams, one forged by their common goal and accomplishment in forging America. Once bitter political and personal foes for several years when Jefferson beat Adams in an election, Reagan underscored the unique and close rekindled friendship and respect for one another that eventually transcended partisan politics. Both died coincidentally on the same day -- the anniversary of Independence Day, July 4, 1826 -- a point Reagan chose to note as a matter of food for thought for all.
Again, there was good reason the 1980s were a time of great cultural nostalgia, a time of peace, prosperity, and morale as "Americans."
