Ronald Reagan Quote

"The classical Liberal, during the Revolutionary time, was a man who wanted less power for the king and more power for the people. He wanted people to have more say in the running of their lives and he wanted protection for the God-given rights of the people. He did not believe those rights were dispensations granted by the king to the people, he believed that he was born with them. Well, that today is the Conservative."

The "unprivileged sovereign" set at Chophshiy, Eleutheria, and Apeleutheros Liberty and the Freedom to defend said liberties.   -- Ronw13, Oregon
President Reagan's description of what was called liberal was correct. Today, I hear the conservative's weak voice clambering about right to life and arms. I hear very little concerning inalienable rights, individual sovereignty and liberty being done away with by compelled compliance, victimless crimes, government licenses, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police State confiscations, etc.) and the ever expanding of centralized government maintaining a perfected allodium over all property and governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.  -- Mike, Norwalk      2
This is your typical insubstantial political figure, with his typical insubstantial definitions, and insubstantial message.  We are at a time when the human is looking quite seriously for substantial meaning, depth, and scope in our characters.  We are not here to destroy, but to look deeply into our beings and find a productive justifying destiny.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
A note of human devotion for the memory of a very notable and creditable member of the human race: Yesterday, August 4, marked 63 years since the human race's physical lose of a very significant portion of itself with the death of Miss Marilyn Monroe.  Her legend still carries with it a sound effort of dignity and decency.  She was not about, as popularly featured, the symbol of sex, she was symbol of the defiance of the destructive exploitive tradition.  Miss Monroe alternatively epitomized beauty, grace, and honorably represented progressiveness.  She was and continues to be a national and international treasure, and her memory continues in this legacy. This is one simple gentleman acknowledging the presence of one very beautiful woman.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
