Look at my album The Conscience of a Conservative. It is the first to chapters of the book. It is "Liberals are wont to bathe the masses in comforting but demonstrably false platitudes, because at the root of their political philosophy they maintain a series of fictions, like: (1) we're all...
Vladimir Lenin (Yes, a socialist)- The way to take over a country is to debauch the currency. Through a continuous policy of inflation a government can quietly and unobservedly confiscate the wealth of its citizens.

George Washington said "Despair my fellow countrymen of ever teaching citizenship save on the basis of immorality & abandon all hope of teaching morality on any other foundation than religion for the nation that forgot God has never been allowed to endure." The following prayer was proposed by...
Our task is far from over. Our friends in the other party will never forgive us for our success, and are doing everything in their power to rewrite history. Listening to the liberals, you’d think that the 1980′s were the worst period since the Great Depression, filled with suffering and despair...
Secretary [of Education William] Bennett makes, I think, an interesting analogy. He says if you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever. But if you provide a child with a rotten education...
None of the four wars in my lifetime came about because we were too strong. It's weakness that invites adventurous adversaries to make mistaken judgments. America is the most peaceful, least warlike nation in modern history. We are not the cause of all the ills of the world. We're a patient and...
Communism, ronald reagan predicted it would end up on the ash heap of history. He was widely ridiculed for that prediction. But then, prophets usually are.
The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and for the spread of civilization. The West won't...
Sometimes I wonder if we haven’t talked freedom, free enterprise, etc., so much and so long as abstract theory, that people—particularly young people —don’t just tune us out. Speaking to some students the other day, I referred to freedoms lost in this land during my lifetime. And I got a...
The Modern Little Red Hen
Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said, "If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?"
"Not I," said the cow...
The names of some Presidents are invoked by spokesmen of both political parties as “men for all seasons”, epitomizing the greatness of America, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson etc. Then there are Presidents whose names are brought in party circles, hailed as great but, if acknowledged by the...
Not sure I understand it.
Of Custom And Education
MEN'S thoughts, are much according to their inclination; their discourse
and speeches, according to their learning and infused opinions; but
their deeds, are after as they have been accustomed. And therefore, as

Once there was a Great Nation....I came across a fascinating story entitled 'Once There Was a Great Nation.' Ronald Reagan summarized this story in a book titled, "Stories In his own hand. The Everyday Wisdom of Ronald Reagan.".Read the following story and as you read try to guess what nation's...
Elizabeth Prentiss was a hospitable, Christian woman. She wrote many articles and books through out her life.
Here are some pretty lines in one of her girlish contributions to "The Youth's Companion,"which express her feeling about babies:
What are little babies for?
Say! say! say!

God knows what my future holds, though I don't. God knows what I should learn, though I'm not sure. God knows what I need, when I don't. I am definetly blessed that God is in control of my life, and not me.

:wave::wave::wave:I wrote two poems for an online club. The second was a revised version of the first. They were called "Heaven". (I might put on here sometime.) They were pretty short and while everyone else seems to think that they're good I don't think that they're anything great. I have also...
