This single quote has shaped my political philosiphy since I read it. America lost a truly great man today. I am in tears for the first time in many years.

A special ping to some random FReepers who's opinions I have grown to respect. We've lost a hell of a great man today.

'We, the government, allow the people the following rights,' and our Constitution says 'We the People, allow the government the following privileges and rights.'

Sad how may freeper don't get this. Ronald Reagan also coined the phrase "jack-booted thugs." Today we have too many sheeple ready to surrender their rights to have the illusion of safety that they may live another day to smell the bootblack again.

I passed it along and added my favorite....

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Ronald Reagan

It wasnt Ronald Reagan who by executive fiat ended the importation of foreign semi auto military look alikes......

He was the greatest president...I dont know if we will ever have another who loved the America of our fore fathers as he did....or who actually revered the Constitution as he did...

Very sad sad day.....

Don't allow the media to spin Reagans death as they did his life. Go to the FR Reagan Vigils post and pledge to organize or attend a vigil in your area.

"How do you tell a Socialist:- It's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an Anti-Socialist someone who understands Marx and Lenin" -Ronald Reagan
