Quote

America has always been greatest when we dared to be great. We can reach for greatness again. We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic, and scientific gain. Tonight, I am directing NASA to develop a permanently manned space station, and to do it within a decade.

Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Ronald Reagan

I was raised to believe that God has a plan for everyone and that seemingly random twists of fate are all a part of His plan.

Dreams became issues of East versus West. Hopes became political rhetoric. Progress became a search for power and domination. Somewhere the truth was lost that people don't make war, governments do.

Meanwhile, what about the workers in those state monopolies that are being put up for sale? I am reminded of a technique for employee ownership that has worked well for many U.S. companies. It goes by various names, but the best known is Employee Stock Ownership Program, or ESOP.

No longer must government be allowed to ride roughshod, absorbing the people's wealth, usurping their rights, and crushing their spirit.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Without God, there is no virtue because there is no prompting of the conscience... without God, there is a coarsening of the society without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.
Ronald Reagan

In America, our origins matter less than our destination, and that is what democracy is all about.

Law and freedom must be indivisible partners. For without law, there can be no freedom, only choas and disorder and without freedom, law is but a cynical veneer for injustice and oppression.
