Mr. Reagan was very well read. A brilliant man.

Ronald Reagan didn’t set out to be the great President that he was. He was just a man, doing a job, that had beliefs and was prepared to defend them. He knew how to deliver a message, but he wasn’t a manipulator, or a “politician”. He was a statesman, a patriot, one who knew that we had to be constantly diligent to protect our Constitution and the American way of life handed to us by our Founders.

So, you are correct. We must continue the fight in our own towns, in our own families and communities, in our work places and in our schools and churches (yes, even there!) We must watch the ones who are in the Congress, and our state legislatures, for people who understand these principles. Moral and upright people. They are there. We must strive to be like them. And we must ask them to lead us. Jim DeMint. Duncan Hunter. Mike Pence. Pat Toomey. Rick Santorum. Watch these people. We must not let the media tell us who our leaders will be, any more than we let them tell us that we need to be more “moderate.” We do not need a leader to come in and tell us “I will lead you.” We need to be wise, and CHOOSE our leaders.

And we need to be open to the idea that one of us may be the leader we are crying for.

This speech makes me realize that the War for Independence is never over.

Either way, Hinz Rule.

And now we can’t even mention God in our government buildings, schools or in public without fear of offending someone!

This nation’s laws are based on the Laws of God. This nation was built on honesty and fairness. On the laws of God.

We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights! Who is that Creator? God of course and the socialists and Marxists would have us believe that there is no god other than themselves!

We must not let the rock, God, honesty, fairness, that our lives and our nation is built upon be shattered.

“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery.” – Ronald Reagan

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.” – Ronald Reagan

This our destiny Patriots! We cannot waiver, We cannot falter, We cannot fail!

God bless you all!

I apologize to everyone.

I love President Reagan – The greatest President ever! Next to only Washington, who I did not know personally. Contrary to what some people think!

Are the no leaders that will step up and lead us. I know President Reagan would tell us we should lead ourselves. Still we need a man or a woman who shares the Reagan philosophy. Who can take over and lead us and this great nation. We need a person with vision, determination and a take no prisoner attitude.

Who and where is that person?

Still, we must be defeated. We must not throw our weapons down. We will not be shackled and enslaved. We will fight on to honor those that have gone before us. We will not let this nation be turned in to a Socialist country!

We will not! We cannot! We must not!

We do “have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.” – Ronald Reagan

As we know, government is beholden to the corporations, primarily those of finance, insurance and war. It’s been that way since the railroads won in the Santa Clara decision around 1880. Ronnie was a great spokesperson for the Fortune 500 but wasn’t exactly the savior of the American people that the press would have you believe. Look closer before blindly accepting what you’re told.

I voted for Ronnie on the ABC ticket. (Anyone But Carter) There wasn’t much else in the way of alternatives. There still isn’t.

I look around like you do, Thomas, and wonder who the next star will be. I keep thinking there must be someone out there that can make me say “yes, that’s what I think…”, but I haven’t heard him/her yet. Conservative ideas are more appealing than liberal ideas – someone just has to be able to unpack them so the average person “gets it.” Liberals have it easy, they just say what they are going to do for you – we have to explain how it’s better to do it for yourself.

Unfortunate how it took from 1964 to 1980 for Reagan to get elected. More unfortunate that Goldwater didn’t get elected.
