The 11 principles of a Reagan conservative

The Blaze ^ | 3-3 | Paul Kengor

Below are Kengor’s so-called “Reagan Eleven,” “11 specific beliefs that under-gird Reagan’s thinking and action as a President and public figure,” that get to the “crux of what Reagan’s conservatism was about and what his emulators today might take to heart.” We include selected excerpts that give a picture as to what “11 Principles of a Reagan Conservative” is all about.

1. Freedom 2. Faith 3. Family 4. Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life 5. American exceptionalism 6. The Founders’ wisdom and vision 7. Lower taxes 8. Limited government 9. Peace through strength 10. Anti-communism 11. Belief in the individual

Was watching on the history channel a review of the 80's and Reagan years and noted how positive it all was then and the inventions of Apple and grow in nation

Then thought about all the bad news spewed today and negative speeches and government control and thought how sad it was.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Carter period immediately before Reagan was amazingly like today. Thought of that again yesterday after hearing John Kerry’s weak-kneed prattling on Ukraine. Carter would have sent Cyrus Vance out to say something like that over a whole host of international crises.

So there is hope (though our “taker” class is infinitely larger than it was in 1980)

I hope this becomes incorporated into the Republican platform this year and 2016.

And the Obama principles are: 1. national impotence. 2. weak economy. 3. unemployment. 4. disrespect. 5 allies abandoned. 6. surveillance, not intelligence. 7. small middle class. 8. corruption. 9. immorality. 10. information control. 11. retaliation. 12. debt. 13. single party rule. 14. dependence. 15. immigration. 16. vote fraud. 17. unionism. 18. scapegoating. 19. the race card. 20. single parent families. 21. disarmed society. 22. militarized police. 23. linguistic diversity.

We are almost transformed.
