a few of mine;

Facts are stubborn things.
Ronald Reagan

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Ronald Reagan

I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.
Ronald Reagan

Man is not free unless government is limited.
Ronald Reagan

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.
Ronald Reagan

The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away.
Ronald Reagan

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
Ronald Reagan

"Religion is like putting lifts in your shoes. If it makes you stand taller and feel better about yourself then OK, but let's not go down to the beach and nail lifts onto the bare feet of the natives." ~ George Carlin

[A Sucked Orange]

Love will change the world. That's what we were told in the 60's. "Love will make you happy. Love one another. Love makes the world go around. All you need is love." We've talked of love nonstop for the last few decades. Actually for the last few thousand years. Where exactly has it gotten us? Are we one step closer to paradise? Hardly. Love hasn't stopped war, cured crime, or erased poverty. Hasn't even come close. Look for any sign of improvement and I guarantee you that you'll only see the most cosmetic of changes. Window dressing. Empty symbolism. Fatuous falderal.

"Things are getting better all the time" the loveniks assure us. What about peace in the middle east? What about harmony in South Africa? Sure, theres peace in the Middle East in between bombings. And there's plenty of harmony in South Africa if you are wealthy enough to live behind electrified fences and locked gates. In reality things have turned to shit. Social and moray decay is an out of control cancer that's taken charge, a cancer born of love. If some people are stupid enough to believe things are improving, it's only because their poor brains are so benumbed by love they can no longer think straight.

Love, sickly love, brotherly love, unconditional love, cowardly love, geek love. A love that says, "Relinquish judgment". A love that encourages acceptance, at the expense of discernment. It's no wonder people imagine things have changed for the better, when in fact all that's changed is their capacity to accept any amount of shit, unconditionally. So the verdict on love is both bad and good. The bad news is that love has turned the world into a sewer. The good news is that people have learned to love the smell of shit.

Fuck Ronald Reagan. He was all talk and no walk. He endlessly criticized government yet government spending tripled during his presidency. The War on Drugs, increased military spending, Granada, etc. The man was the definition of hypocrite.

yeah congress that was controlled by the dems refused to cut the spending. remember congress is the one that writes the budgets and controls the purse strings.

With out Regan we would still be in the down turn of the early 80's thanks to Nixon and Carter. We never would have come outta it. You have the huge budget surpluses of the clinton era thanks to the polices of Reagan and Bush 1.

Govt: needs to be criticized and restrained any way so what really is your point other than you dont really understand what happened in the 80's, and are regurgitating what you heard in college?????
