Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan

You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down.

Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path.

Freedom is the right to question and change the established way of doing things. It is the continuing revolution of the marketplace.

It is the right to follow your dream, or stick to your conscience even if you're the only one in a sea of doubters.
