A few "Reaganisms" for you to enjoy. Got this in an e-mail this morning from a good friend. He wasn't called "The Great Communicator" for nothin'!
"Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose." - Ronald Reagan
"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." - Ronald Reagan
"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
"Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong." - Ronald Reagan
"I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress." - Ronald Reagan
"The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination." - Ronald Reagan
"Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other." - Ronald Reagan
"The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program." - Ronald Reagan
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first." - Ronald Reagan
"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." - Ronald Reagan
"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book." - Ronald Reagan
"No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women." - Ronald Reagan
"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." - Ronald Reagan
"An economist is someone who sees something happen and wonders whether it would work in theory." - Ronald Reagan
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
This has been a favorite of mine for years. I used to apply it as my signature quote. I'm sure there will be plenty of responses to this thread to prove this statement as being correct.
Sounds like someone's got a bad case of pissiness today! Ah well, I won't let it rain on my parade. Ronald Reagan was the greatest President of the 20th century, IMHO, and nothing you post, saganista, no matter how bad it makes you look in doing so, will ever change that.

(Also, you might want to check on some of those.)
Don't mind Saggy. He just feels guilty because we pay him to justify his job.
Thanks for posting these! As I've said many times before, Reagan wouldn't recognize his own party today. He may not have been perfect, but he's easily the best president in my lifetime so far.
