In this current atmosphere of Supreme Court rulings Run amok, I thought it would be appropriate to reflect on the wisdom of my hero, Ronald Reagan. I think it is pretty amazing that he said, on October 27, 1964,

“Private property rights are so diluted that public interest is almost anything that a few government planners decide it should be. In a program that takes for the needy and gives to the greedy,”

Wow! I Know Reagan consulted a psychic, or so the rumors say, but That is just some amazing accuracy. He could have said that yesterday, but he said it 41 years ago. It has finally come to fruition.

In the same speech, he could have been talking about the Democrat’s view of the War on Terror when he said,

“And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us.”

Geneva Convention protection for terrorists, anyone?

On March 25, 1978 he had already recognize the template from which our present anti-war debate would be forged:

“Too often, the president is advised by men and women who are forever trapped in the tragic but still fresh memory of a lost war. And from Vietnam they have drawn all the wrong lessons. When they say “never again,” they mean the United States should never again resist Communist aggression.

In saying “never again,” implying that the war should have been lost — that it is all right for the victors to conduct a brutal campaign against their own people, violating even minimal human rights.”

Again, This could be a response to any of the “sky is falling” claims of failure, or “quagmire” in the current war.

I just thought I would share some of these poignant thoughts from our late, great President, because they could have been said today, and been just as accurate.
