When Germany invaded Europe, it was America that brought the people freedom. When Communists built a wall, it was America that brought the people freedom. When Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein tortured and butchered thousands of their own people, it was America that brought the people freedom.Ronald Reagan clearly understood freedom and the role America plays in preserving it throughout the world.

When America preserves the freedom of others, it preserves its own freedom.

Freedom is the spirit of America, and it is this spirit that Ronald Reagan communicated so well.

Thank you, President Reagan, for keeping the torch burning. You will be remembered as one of the greatest leaders of all time.

   Are you referring to the Ronald Reagan who was Newt Gingrich’s biggest fan and political partner or are you referring to the real Ronald Reagan?

   In the total rewrite of political history now taking place, it was Newt & Ron before Ron & Newt and today there is even some Barack & Ron being added along with Barack and Jesus to round out what our kids will be taught from the next history textbook edition.
