  • Ronald Reagan on Socialism ... trackback from post: Democrats say the health care legislation they just passed has been in the works for 100 years. In this video or in the transcript below, Ronald Reagan, at a time much like today was battling against socialized medicine. He gives us some of this 100 years of history. See a video below. I was struck by Reagan's urgings to write to our Congress..."demand the continuation of our traditional free enterprise system." He said "you and I can do this." The fact is, that day is over for America. You and I tried. Congress faced over 100,000 phones calls an hour, for day. We tried and we could not do it. Ronald Reagan (artist J. Lawrence Lind)One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it...And at the moment, the key issue is, we do not want socialized medicine. In Washington day, 40,000 letters, less than a hundred per congressman, are evidence of a trend in public thinking. ~ Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan - Socialism - Coffee Cup Operation Transcript - thank you to New Reagan Revolution: Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program. There are many ways in which our government has invaded the precincts of private citizens, the method of earning a living. Our government is in business to the extent over owning more than 19,000 businesses covering different lines of activity. This amounts to a fifth of the total industrial capacity of the United States.  But at the moment I’d like to talk about another way. Because this threat is with us and at the moment is more imminent....

  • Nothing New Under The Sun..... trackback from post: There is absolutely nothing new under the sun. The Statist, Socialist, Collectivist call them whatever you'd like have been trying to usurp the liberty this country provides for years. I keep stumbling upon more and more historical evidence to support this fact. Ronald Reagan delivered this speech in 1961 when he was still a private citizen decrying the dangers of socialized medicine. I don't know what is will take to convince these imbecilic Obama acolytes to look past their paranoia that people are coming against The Black Man and consider how the Obama Plan is disastrous. The effect of the "changes" he is implementing will linger long after his time in office. I love the way he says "guvment". Transcript: Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people would adopt every fragment of the socialist program. There are many ways in which our government has invaded the free precincts of private citizens, method of earning a living; our government is in business to the extent of owning more than 19,000 businesses covering 47 different lines of activity. This amounts to 1/5th of the total industrial capacity of the United States. (Sort of like the Chrysler, GM take over last week) But at the moment I would like to talk about another one because this threat is with us, and at the moment, more imminent. One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project, most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can't afford it. Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it. We have an example of this. Under the Truman administration it was proposed t.
