Reagan on the Recovery

Sounds like a plan ...lower taxes and reduce spending....

Presidential Weekly Radio Addresses Reagan vs. Obama

Below are two videos of weekly radio addresses, with two different charismatic Presidents. One believes in small government and the will of the people, the other believes in big government and the will of himself.

Here is a summary in case you don't want to watch both videos (I know I have a hard time watching Obama)...

Ronald Wilson Reagan talks of liberty and faith, triumph over trials, and the Constitution.

Barrack Hussein Obama says the economy sucks and it's all the Republicans fault.

Reagan talks of strength and vitality in the economy. Growth and low inflation.

Obama says the economy sucks and it's all the Republicans fault.

Reagan talks of a monthly job growth of 340,000 new jobs and more people employed than ever before in history.

Reagan direct quote "We must challenge ourselves to hurdle the acceptable limits of the past and draw a new map of possibilities and give new meaning to the word success. Isn't that, after all, what it means to be Americans."

Obama direct quote: "The fact is, most economists agree that extending unemployment insurance is one of the single most cost-effective ways to help jump start the economy. It puts money into the pockets of folks who not only need it most, but who also are most likely to spend it quickly."

Ronald Reagan - Real Communication about Spending/Labor

I noticed that it has been awhile since I posted a "Gipper Clip". Here is a real good one about spending and labor. It is audio only. This was a speech made on March 30, 1981, to the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department (How Plumb and Square can you get?)

Did you notice the date? It is the speech President Reagan made just prior to the assassination attempt on his life....

A Time for Choosing - Ronald Reagan

Here is the Time for Choosing speech given by Ronald Reagan, October of 1964. I felt it was time to bring back a true conservative. Yes, the video is long but well worth it. Just think of it as 1/4 of an American Idol episode....

President Reagan Celebrates his Birthday in 1983

Here's a video of President Reagan's birthday with reporters in 1983. Today is President Reagan's 99th birthday....

President Reagan Celebrates His Birthday - 2/4/83

"Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!'"

It was 20 years ago today that the Berlin wall fell. I am not sure the youth of today understand the fear that gripped the world during the Cold War. Just as I will never understand the fear that our parents and grandparents felt, about Germany during the forties. I'll tell you it was real. My entire youth there was always that feeling that some day there was going to be an attack by the Soviet Empire. They were the enemies of my youth.

In 1991 I was blessed to go on vacation trip to London. The first Gulf War had just concluded. I remember walking through Heathrow Airport, and I saw many men with machine guns. I was thinking to myself how scary it was to live in a place that men had to protect themselves in a time of war. Never knowing who the enemy was or what they could accomplish. I talked with the Englishmen and they told me how they loved our "Prime Minister Bush" because of what he had done a month prior.

On the trip, I saw buildings with muskets balls in the doors and tombstones were walkways and floors. I saw huge castles with the scars that were left from many years of war. One of the last visits on that trip was a visit to the Imperial War Museum. There at the front entrance of the museum was a large piece of the Berlin Wall standing alone. Even after all the different things I saw on this trip; all the war torn buildings, all history in which I was immersed, this was the one thing that made me cry.

It made me cry for a few reasons. Partially, it made me cry because of what it said ("Change your life"). Partially, it made me cry because of the timing being so close to the actual event. Partially it made me cry because I could see and feel what Berliners felt. But the feeling I felt most, was the feeling of relief. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. The Cold War was over!

Here is the whole speech by President Reagan in June of 1989....

Ronald Reagan - Annouces Presidential Run

Please take the time and watch this video. It has so much to do with what we are going through right now. It is long, but still less than a 30 minute sitcom on television. So take the time and LISTEN, you will learn a lot about solutions to our problems with economics, energy, foreign policy and liberty. I have a strong belief that if you do not learn from history you are destine to repeat it. So a little education is a good thing, even if it is history.

Ronald Reagan - We the People!

One from the master....

Ronald Reagan on Socialized Medicine

This is an audio track from 1961 (the same year Obama was born), when Reagan was a private citizen. He predicted our current health care debate in 1961. It is a little long at 10 minutes, but it is worth your 10 minutes. Listen and compare what is happening now.



Please write your congressman as Mr. Reagan asks! Before it is too late.

I thought we needed a leading from a true leader...
