President and First Lady Nancy Reagan
Some principles to think about.....
“Presidents
come and go. History comes and goes, but principles endure…” ~Ronald Reagan on receiving
the Presidential Medal of Freedom, The White House, January 1993
I.
Free Exercise of Inalienable God-given Rights- “Nothing then is unchangeable but the inherent and inalienable
rights of man.” ~Thomas Jefferson
II. Secure Borders and
Superior Defense- “America seeks no new territory, nor do we wish to dominate others. We commit
our resources and risk the lives of those in our Armed Forces to rescue others from bloodshed and turmoil and to prevent humankind
from drowning in a sea of tyranny.” ~Ronald Reagan
III. Protection
of Human Life- “Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is
not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is. And, thus, it should be entitled to Life, Liberty,
and the pursuit of Happiness.” ~Ronald Reagan
IV. Return
to Constitutional Justice- “Since the politicization of the law has, for half a century, moved results
steadily to the Left, a very large number of Americans do not like those outcomes. Increasingly, they are not deceived
by the claim that those results are compelled by the actual Constitution.” ~Robert Bork
V. Safe-Guarding of American Sovereignty- “I shall know but one
country. The ends I aim at shall be my country’s, my God’s, and Truth’s. I was born an American;
I live an American; I shall die an American.” ~Daniel Webster
VI. Preservation
of Traditional Family and Marriage- “Through love and instruction, discipline, guidance and example,
we learn from our mothers and fathers the values that will shape our private lives and our public citizenship.”
~Ronald Reagan
VII. Conservation of Free Markets and Private Property-
“I believe that each individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruit of his labor, so
far as it in no way interferes with any other man’s rights.” ~Abraham Lincoln
VIII.
Minimized Taxation and Limited Government- “A power in the individuals who compose legislatures, to fish
up wealth from the People, by nets of their own weaving… will corrupt legislative, executive, and judicial public servants.”
~John Adams
IX. Market-based Education, Health-care, Energy and Environment-
“The vice of capitalism is that it stands for the unequal sharing of blessings; whereas the virtue of socialism is that
it stands for the equal sharing of misery.” ~Winston Churchill
X. Transparency
and Accountability in Government- “The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood
of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” ~Thomas Jefferson
