A Tribute to President Reagan on the 100th Anniversary of his birth.
Many people in the media refer to President Reagan as the “Great Communicator.” He rejected that characterisation, by saying it was the message and not the messenger that was more important.
Ronald Reagan clearly had the training and experience of an actor that aided him in communicating effectively, but his quotes on important issues reveal his wisdom and deep commitment to his country. A selection of quotes that illustrate the wisdom and patriotism of Ronald Wilson Reagan follow:

These experts related the same evidence as the previous evening, that the Federal Reserve and the U.S. dollar are headed for a collapse, and outlined legislative steps that S.C. can take to protect the financial interests of our citizens by promoting alternate currencies.

John Bolton: “Dangerous Time for the United States”
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton spoke at Furman, Monday evening, in an event hosted by Conservative Students for a Better Tomorrow.
In an interview with The Times Examiner before his address on “The Case Against Global Citizenship,” Bolton said President Obama “is the most radical president who has ever been elected. His obvious priority is domestic policy, restructuring our economy in a whole variety of ways people are familiar with. I think it is a very dangerous time for the United States.”

Recently a friend sent me a story about legendary coach Bear Bryant of Alabama. Bryant had complimented the “chitlins” prepared by a small restaurant owner during one of his first recruiting trips. Bear sent the man an autographed photo and the small act of kindness resulted in a surprise reward years later.
The story reminded me of an experience in occupied Germany during the 1950’s.

The Most Critical Event of 2010
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The General Court Martial of Lieutenant Colonel “Terry” Lakin may become the most critical event of 2010. He was charged with failure to follow a direct order and refusing to go to Afghanistan unless President Obama shows evidence that he meets the constitutional requirement of being born in the United States in order to be eligible to become President.
Private citizens raised the question even before the election and several have gone to court in efforts to obtain proof of eligibility with no success. Some backed away from discussing the issue due to bogus charges of racism. The Democrat controlled Congress, the national media and the 50 states failed to require candidate Obama to provide proof that he was born in the United States and thereby eligible to hold the office of President under the Constitution of the United States.

The 'Redistributing' of Other Peoples' Money by Obama
- Details
- By James Aldridge - Anderson, SC
Obama is the epitome of what often happens to a politician after he or she gets elected. Historically, Americans have been disappointed by politicians in both Parties who have campaigned to right past wrongs; and then, after getting to Washington, forget their promises and become concerned, primarily, with retaining the money (a Senator earns $193,400 for part-time work), power and perks which they quickly become accustomed to. As Gary Mauser, professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, says in NRA's December's America’s First Freedom magazine, “Politics is about promises, not the delivery of those promises.”
Marxist Homeschooling

For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. (Romans 10:2-3)
Here’s a good stuffy, scholarly-sounding quote to throw around next time you get into a discussion about Karl Marx’s theory of economics: “The relative values of commodities are, therefore, determined by the respective quantities or amounts of labor, worked up, realized, fixed in them.”
