To counter, at least a little bit, the frustrating effects of the current political shenanigans, let me share a few of the punchy Reaganisms with which Linda made my day."Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose."
"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."
"Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong."
"The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination."
"The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program."
"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book." (Advice obviously taken by Jimmy Carter and Scott McClellan.)
"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
