“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on 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 what it was once like in the United States when men were free.”

Yes, a good idea to remember him on a day like this, and every day!
Ronald would have been 97 today.
It’s also Babe Ruth’s B-Day
The last President this country had -— and will ever have for some time to come. He was a hundred-year man and had more wisdom and patriotism than the entire Congress combined.
He's got to be spinning in his grave after yesterday's GOP debacle.
Happy Birthday Great Communicator!
Happy Birthday The Babe!
Mr. Reagan, I do hope you had not been spining in your grave the last day with what has been going on in the house, the GOP that you had built.
That's a statement that ought to cross our minds every day.
I sure do miss the old guy.

It may all look like a done deal. But the McCain-Kennedy bill giving amnesty to illegal aliens looked like a done deal two years ago — until the public realized the truth behind the spin and brought that sell-out to a screeching halt.
Happy Birthday Mister President!
The Reagan coalition maybe dead, NOT the Reagan legacy!
The Reagan legacy will live forever!!
Long live Ronald Reagan!!!
It’s also Babe Ruth’s B-Day
And it's my wife's birthday today, too. (happy birthday, babe!
Interestingly enough, my youngest daughter's birthday is on the same day of the year (not the full date) that Ronald Magnus passed away, June 5th.
The anti-American actions of the liberal RINOs will render any conservative legacy hollow, even Reagan's. This is why they must not be suffered in our party. They destroy not only the promise for the future, but the achievements of the past.
The reality is, that the GOP really isn’t much different today than it was back when Reagan was President.
It was just that Reagan had the tremendous ability to bring together the GOP in a way nobody has done before or since.
I sure do miss you President Ronald Reagan. Happy Birthday.
A salute to a man who had faith in God!
This nation owes so much to President Reagan!
re post 15: Truth Bump!
Without a doubt, the greatest president of the twentieth century; Happy Birthday, Mr. Reagan.
I was 3½ years old (and lived under Communism in Hungary) when President Reagan was inaugurated, so he was my first image of what an American President looks like. I have been missing that image ever since. I hope someday I get to see another true American President.
