Ronald Reagan Quotes

If only our Republican Representatives thought like Ronald Reagan:

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I’m here to help."

"Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong."

"The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination."

"Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."

"The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program."

"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book."
"No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.”

"I've laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting."

A Big Government Fix-It Plan for New Orleans - New York Times

Unbelievable?

No.

Republican politicians are proving every day that they are for big government as much, or more, than Democrats.

Rep. Richard H. Baker (R-Baton Rouge) has the brilliant idea to make the federal government the biggest landowner in New Orleans. He wants to take $80 Billion of your money to "pay off lenders, restore public works, buy huge ruined chunks of the city, clean them up and then sell them back to developers."

This is a horrible idea!

We should be questioning whether it is wise to rebuild parts of New Orleans at all.
The city is built below sea level, and is located on the coast. Those two reasons should be enough to take a second look at redeveloping New Orleans.

I, for one, can no longer sit by while the big government Republicans compose and vote for freedom-robbing bills like the Patriot Act, take the first step towards socialized medicine via prescriptions, support anti-business laws like the Wright Amendment, want to involve the government in regulating the private transmission you PAY for from your satellite or cable provider, and now want to use taxpayer money to socialize New Orleans.

In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan,

"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem!"

Everyone please take the time to call the congressional switchboard at 202-224-3121 and let your representative know that you do not support big government politicians, Democrat or Republican.

I forgot to mention the most important Firefox plugin.

When I say most important, I mean most important if you're me, or you are VERY interested in Wolfgang family genealogy.
