With the right to bear arms comes a great responsibility to use caution and common sense on handgun purchases.

Professional politicians like to talk about the value of experience in government. Nuts! The only experience you gain in politics is how to be political.

Image
Of the many messages found in the Hanukah story, the one that has always inspired me most is this: with a strong faith in the Almighty, nothing is impossible and without the help of our Creator, we labor in vain.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We need true tax reform that will at least make a start toward restoring for our children the American dream that wealth is denied to no one, that each individual has the right to fly as high as his strength and ability will take him.
Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan

We will remain steady. We will pursue every avenue in the search for peace and stability.
Ronald Reagan

People don't start wars, governments do.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it foster productivity, not stifle it.
Ronald Reagan
Image
. . . Government should do only those things the people cannot do for themselves.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
Ronald Reagan
Image
If history teaches us anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Every new day begins with possibilities. It's up to us to fill it with the things that move us toward progress and peace.
