A Bit of Wisdom from Ronald Reagan
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
"Let us ask ourselves, 'What kind of people do we think we are?' And let us answer, 'Free people, worthy of freedom and determined not only to remain so but to help others gain their freedom as well.'"
"Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith."
"If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen."
"Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man."
"Optimism comes less easily today, not because democracy is less vigorous, but because democracy's enemies have refined their instruments of repression."
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

Reagan's Legacy

Red states generally have the lowest levels of high school and college graduation because, of course, Republicans don’t think it’s the job of government to educate young people. That should be up to the parents, who should have been smart enough to be born into a wealthy family or, at the very least, be willing to go into debt to get Junior into a good private charter school.
As a result of this philosophy and decades of Republican-controlled governments citing it to evade their own basic responsibilities, Red states, almost across the board, have higher rates of:
Spousal abuse
Obesity
Smoking
Teen pregnancy
Sexually transmitted diseases
Abortion
Bankruptcies and poverty
Homicide and suicide
Infant mortality
Maternal mortality
Forcible rape
Robbery and aggravated assault
Dropouts from high school
Divorce
Contaminated air and water
Opiate addiction and deaths
Unskilled workers
Parasitic infections
Income and wealth inequality
Covid deaths and unvaccinated people
Federal subsidies to states (“Red State Welfare”)
People on welfare
Child poverty
Homelessness
Spousal murder
Unemployment
Deaths from auto accidents
People living on disability
And it all comes back to philosophy.

Tell me again how it's the Democrats who are -
Taking away books they don't like
Telling you who you can love and marry
Forcing Schools to Display Religious Posters
Denying abortions
Voting against healthcare for veterans
etc, etc, etc.
If you think the Dems are trying to take away your freedom, just wait until you hear about the Republican party.

Sometimes the Dems assaults on freedoms come in different forms.
87k IRS Agents
Overactive regulatory state that effectivily strips property rights
That whole vaccine mandate thing :) I thought it was "my body my choice"
Regulations that make affordable houseing a pipe dream
The regulatory state is theft from all of us

How is clearing the backlog of IRS agents a loss of a right?
I get that you don't appear to feel you need to be honest about paying your taxes... but is your point that cheating on your taxes and not getting caught is a GOP value?

With 87k tax thugs with quotas to meet will find "tax cheats" that don't even exist. Especially if one is GOP.

Calif is the least educated state in America of adults aged 25 an older. One of the reasons is thousands of businesses left CA. A half dozen of those businesses were multi- billion dollar businesses and most colleges degree employees left with them. The college degree people leave as illegal and HS dropouts come in their place. Officials claim well over 3 million illegals now live in CA and the most registered Democrats by far in any state of our Nation is the reason for California's number One in stupidity of adults 25 and older.
Sadly my wife loves our home, property, horses and all of our critters and know we'd never find another place to match what she has here and being separated from our closest friends and neighbors. Only way she'd leave is losing everything from a devastating fire. So we're stuck, thank goodness most of our friends if political our Republicans or independents. Not real big Trump fans, but big on MAGA because Americans should be number One in our Nation that 18 months ago was running far better then it is today.
Socialism hasn't worked very well here, has it? Especially if one has to hunt for infant formula that we have to get from a Third World Country.

Do you recognize what has happened here in The Mother Lode of California?
The Bay Area of California had/has the largest population of Asians in the U.S. They have always traveled back and forth to China regularly, bringing relatives with them. Their constant travel to China flooded the Bay Area with the virus, so they were the first lock down.
Majority of people in the Bay Area refused to be locked down and flooded out with the virus in tow. Large numbers of them came to The Mother Lode. Many with second homes here already, others also filled rental vacation homes along with other housing situations available. They then proceeded to purchase all available housing they could find. Soon they drained all our stores of necessities which caused great hardships to all of us. They have bought and control our news, bending it only to only promote their opinions and hate, destroying all others.
Fast forward to today.
They are bored here. They are angry that their city lifestyles are not recognized and the norm here. They do not fit in with the local community nor do they ever intend to. They now hate their neighbors, only seeking any way they can to undermine and destroy the once safer, peaceful communities. They detest the people here before them, the people here who work to safeguard the long established protections of the tight knit neighborhoods and towns who's ancestors settled and built our area.
We have had to become even tighter during the virus and lock down. We have to protect ourselves and community from the pure amount of hate, destruction and greed cast upon us. Quietly work to keep connection with those who are established here as trustworthy. Seek stronger voice and office within your community. We must privately come together and work to preserve our history and community.
Good Health & Happiness to you.

My God, you HAFTA be a card carrying Trumper! Don't preach to me about how peaceful it was here. That's bull. Don't tell me about how our ancestors settled this area without ruffling any feathers. Ask some native Americans about that. And don't tell me to help keep Asian's out of the Mother Lode. I welcome the vast, vast majority of Asians and wish to get rid of loathsome, racist whities like yourself.

Asians living in the Bay Area. Traveling back and forth to China.

You gonna blame your local Asian restaurant employee I suppose.

Sadly my wife. Tough way to start a sentence. Use of a comma would help.
Sounds like you and your wife have it pretty good. Even your horses.
I'm not sure what Calabamans worry so much about. If all of the filth is in the cities, what's the problem.
Counting the people over 25 that live in CA as less educated than other states, must include a high percentage of Calabamans.

Reagan would support the current President. No matter what.
Biden and Reagan are similar in that they both would defend the Constitution.
#45? Coward. Traitor.
Reagan would have said this as well.
The dotards can't have it both ways. Trump. Constitution. What do I hold more dear. A con man. A document that protects our freedoms, and 240+ years to prove which can withstand ignorance.

you're right in that Trump REALLY loves the 5th Amendment to it. And his followers the 2nd. They probably also love the 3/5th provision and would like to see that play a more central role.

Hey Dotards, I magnified the pictures of what your Nazi leader had at his home and found what looked like the classified top secret one with our countries Nuclear Codes to launch our missile that the DoJ said he had. Only the sitting President is suppose to have those you blubber brain cult numb nuts.
Trump no doubt was going to sell them to the highest bidder. China would of out bid Donnie's best friend Putin so China could plant malware in our launch system to nuke ourselves instead, according to a leak from our DoJ. Seems your Nazi fascism hero is a Traitor like you are to.

If you've ever read about President Ronald Reagan and Nancy and how bad his Dementia was it's amazing how well he kept it close to his vest. Yet he ran out country ten times better what this embarrassment of a clown Biden is and has done to each and everyone of us.
Most of all his killing of our US Military and abandoning of Americans.

And we are all aware that you'd rather have a criminally corrupt mob boss as your president. One that doesn't care about veterans, 911 heroes that are sick, being butt buddies with ruthless dictators, all for the sake of a dollar. He does not care about you or for America; only himself, gold and golf. This is your Donald Trump. A fake...
