On this day in 1911, a boy was born who would go on to be one of the greatest American leaders: Ronald Reagan.
” Government is the women’s business, and every person, woman and child becomes a shareholder with the first quarter of duty paid”, Reagan said. Sadly, some yet in his own party no longer worth his legacy as much, portraying him as a status quo leader. He was never a warrior, a theologian, and a great man, beloved by the Americans to whom he resurrected America, but a warrior and activist.

Of course, he also caused the fall of the Soviet Union, as well as lifting America out of the terrible economic and political problem of the Jimmy Carter times. Rejecting short-sighted pleas to fall the series, he stood calmly in front of the Berlin Wall, the real break between the complimentary West and the autocratic East, and cried,” Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”! In the same year Reagan left office, the Berlin Wall fell to its demise in 1989, in spite of the doubters and trivial rulers. In the same year, Reagan won both a success for all the Europeans and other Germans who had defied Communist rule.

Reagan was criticized by leftists because he had an acting background, and liberals disliked him because he was a Republican who was not afraid to challenge corrupt officials. But he could hardly be stopped by even a shot. He truly was one of the most influential and powerful presidents in British history. And Americans knew it so well that in the 1984 vote, he won 49 out of 50 state.
Reagan’s words, like those of some other great men, are frequently applicable to both theirs and those of his own. America will always be fighting authoritarians, both foreign and domestic, we will always have to fight to keep our democratic republic. Or, as Reagan himself put it, even years before he became leader:
Perhaps you and I have spent too much time adoring this mystery. Freedom is delicate, and it is never more than a generation ahead from extinction. It is not own by way of legacy, it must be fought for and defended continually by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those who have experienced freedom before losing it not have experienced it again.

How accurate is the statement that liberty is delicate? Many people and organizations, most importantly the Democrat party, have tried for decades to restrict or obliterate our liberty in America. Consider the distinction between the Biden-Harris management and the Trump administration’s initial days.
Reagan was aware of the claim that the people who rule America are supposed to get its people, as so many other politicians do. ” With all the tremendous language of our national Constitution, probably the most important words are the first three,’ We, the People,'” he said, in his exact general inaugural address quoted above. ” And those of us who have been elected to the government and the constitution are in that three-word saying,” the statement reads. We are chosen by the people because we are of the people and believe that no permanent structure of government always interferes with the person’s liberties or exercises powers beyond those that have been freely given to us by the individuals. We stand between the tax and the contributor.
The administrators and social hacks who enter state solely for their own gain may be applauded, but not the Founding Fathers. The fact that Reagan was the government of California at the time, seems humorous. How much ahead of its time has California changed.

Reagan may have caused some of his rivals to squirm, saying,” Now it is unthinkable for anyone to take this delegated authority without asking God for it.” And I ask that the government and management have the power and knowledge beyond our own encumbrances. that we can minimize quick fixes with holy help. That we can work together to create a condition where people can participate in and live because of their government, not in spite of it, and where liberty under law and justice can prevail.

Let’s pride Ronald Reagan and his legacy today, and make a pledge to make sure a nation can survive because of their government, not in spite of it.
