blood liberty needs patriotism time tree watered
The tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
both liked neither nixon optimist reagan ways
He and Reagan were not at all alike, because Reagan is an optimist and Dick Nixon wasn't. Yet in some ways they were alike. Neither really liked to talk on the telephone, for instance. And, in a lot of respects, both of them were very much loners.
government
These things I believe: that government should butt out.
guns ongoing protect threat
That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.
jesus party home
The concerted effort to minimize Christmas has resulted in it being our national Happy Holiday holiday. The Christmas season is now the holiday season. Christmas parties are now holiday parties. Christmas is a time for giving and receiving presents and in many homes, nothing more. Who is this fellow, Jesus Christ, anyway?
simple government
I don't like government, it's just that simple.
war people political
Most politicians - those people who live, eat and breathe politics - like to sit around and talk about politics and tell political war stories. Reagan didn't do that. His war stories were movie war stories and Hollywood war stories. He loved that.
government rights plot
Government should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them away.
government evil
That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil.
choices drink enough
I'm not a social friend of the Reagans. That's by their choice and by mine. They don't drink enough.
might vote reason
A better educated electorate might change the reason many persons vote.
country freedom liberty
One of the things that bothers me most is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than freedom. It ain't.
freedom thinking government
As I watch government at all levels daily eat away at our freedom, I keep thinking how prosperity and government largesse have combined to make most of us fat and lazy and indifferent to, or actually in favor of, the limits being placed on that freedom.
lying night thinking
I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.
