The truth is, politics and morality are inseparable. And as

morality's foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related.

We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect,

and our government needs the church, because only those

humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring to

democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.

Ronald Reagan August 1984

Ron Reagan should have taken the time to read what his father thought.

The truth is, politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality's foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive." Ronald Reagan August 1984

Tapatio, I never heard or read that quote before. I would like to see the rest of that speech; would you post the whole thing or a link to it? I can just see the libs reading that and protesting on the grounds of the "separation of church and state" invention. (I'd sure like to know who coined that phrase.)

[Charles Martel]

The truth is, politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality's foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related.

We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.

- Ronald Reagan, August 1984

I also recall a Reagan quote from 1984 (it may be part of this same speech) which said: "If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we'll be one nation Gone Under.."
