Thanks so much for this post!

The world could surely use Ronald Reagan today.

Happy 100th Mr. President!

“My whole family were Democrats. As a matter of fact, I had an uncle who won a medal once for having never missed voting in an election for fifteen years....and he’s been dead for fourteen.”

Everyone ought to change their tagline to one of their favorite Reagan quotes this week to honor the Gipper.

I would like to do that, but the system won't let me use a tagline that long, so I'll just post it here:

"Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility."

“During a college demonstration when students chanted around the governor’s limousine, ‘We are the future,’ Reagan scribbled a reply on a piece of paper, which he held up to the car window:” I’ll sell my bonds.

August 9, 1973
Do you remember back in the days when you thought that nothing could replace the dollar. Today it practically has!

I think my two favorite Reagan quotes (paraphrased) were from his debates with Mondale. When the press was saying Reagan was too old, and asked him about the "age" issue in the election, he said, "I will not make an issue of the youth and inexperience of my opponent."

The other was when Mondale was protesting that he was for a strong national defense. Reagan quipped, "Yes, I've seen your ads showing you on the aircraft carrier. It's a good thing you didn't get your way or you'd have been in deep water out there. You voted against that carrier four times."
