Have you ever thought to yourself in today’s world, what would President Reagan have done? I have thought that many times over the last 44 months. I’m certain some will disagree with me, but I view Ronald Reagan as the “patriarch” of modern conservatism, though I state this knowing there are those who do not think he was conservative enough. I will tell you what — Looking back to the leadership of President Reagan through the fog of Mr. Barack Obama’s control of the executive branch, President Reagan’s conservative principles standout as the steadfast truth of a giant lighthouse sending its steady beam of light and piercing fog horn.
Do you recall Mr. Obama adamantly demanding that ObamaCare was not socialist and that his policies were not redistribution of wealth? I remember at the time his sounding like the driver pleading with the police officer, “I was only going 35 miles per hour officer!”
What do you think? With the events of this week, do you think we need a course correction in order to avoid slamming into that giant land mass of socialism? Take a listen to Ronald Reagan back in 1961, 51 years ago. Does this sound like truth today? Do you see the beam of light and hear the piercing fog horn? Or are we all just being lulled to sleep through the fog about to hit the reef somewhere in a Greek island?
Ronald Reagan tells us exactly where we are right now. Yes, this clip is 10 minutes long, but the first two minutes drive home the message that we are headed right to that craggy point of socialism while President Obama and all of his lemmings will be telling us all for the next four months how we should like it and be glad for it. Listen carefully to Reagan’s words like “liberalism,” “statism,” “personal liberty,” “socialism,” “encroachment,” etc. I think the entire 10 minute audio is absolutely powerful and essential listening for every American who cares about their future and the health of our nation.
Values, distinctly American: “Liberty” — “In God We Trust” — “E Pluribus Unum”

Excellent post Vic. and Ronald Reagan has come back from the grave to warn us all… Be sure to listen to his prophesy.
Thanks for the informational video. A must listen video. Too bad, I learned more about Reagan after he died. Oh jah, i hope what he was saying is not just a distant memory. It is unthinkable what Obamacare does to us, the privacy, the gov control, the cost, the quality.
Of course, we need some kind of reform, tort reform to sustain the unstoppable premium cost increase. I think the Insurance Companies are the one who’re the blood suckers in the healthcare debate. Keep the pre-exsiting condition coverage, the children coverage. In all honesty, I’m more worried what Obama will do between now and Nov. The guy is in mission with the help of Peolosi, Harry Reid “transforming” this nation to his life long dream socialism. What comes out from Pelosi’s mouth this morning was a dictator filth.
We must unite and stop Govt intrusion!
THANK YOU to all those that have visited MittRomneyCentral this week and who have recommended our posts on Facebook and for retweeting.
All of us who contribute to the site are most grateful to you for your help in spreading the word throughout America.
Excellent post…thanks for posting…
That video was a great find! Thank you for posting this so it can see the light of day. The truth of what Reagan is saying shows what a great man he was. The accuracy of his description of the liberal socialist agenda is so exact it is almost scary, and his message has been buried by years. I’m sending this out far and wide and will urge everyone to do the same.

People today are so detached from the country that fought for liberty. Instead they are slowly falling into the hands of a government that offers entitlements and a misleading promise of free healthcare. Instead of free market solutions they offer government solutions only. People are so detached from the country’s beginning that they don’t know who the enemy is. The left wing forces can easily convince them Republicans only care for insurance companies and not access to health care and affordability. This country is special because we fought to break from England and succeeded in creating a free country where the poor and middle class could be upwardly mobile. However, people who are used to freedoms can become complacent and start following the wrong drummer as they have by electing Barack Obama. We need to save the country from going back into bondage and elect Mitt Romney. Romney 2012!!
Good post–we must think ahead and remember that we do not want someone like Obama ever gaian.
I listened intently to Ronald Reagan’s message( God rest his Soul).
It struck a core! How a man could have predicted our current situation in America from 50+ years ago. I a mom & a patriot to this great country. Also, a wife of a doctor.
I had Chills as I listened to this speech for the 1st time. Everyone should listen & I immediately shared this site with everyone I know.
Long live the United States of America! Long live Freedom!
Great comments all! Thank you.
Pam: Your comment hit me for some reason. The United States of America is a special place. It’s origins are different from all other nations. We are an example to the world. We are perceived by others in the world as THE place of freedom and liberty. We as a people do have a tendency to take that for granted and should not. We need to always remember how this great nation was founded and the willingness of our founding fathers to give their lives in breaking away from tyranny. Those that want an entitlement society are willing to sacrifice freedom and liberty as an acceptable trade-off. Our founders were not. I am not and I think most people that envision Gov. Romney as our next leader are not.
We are the only nation in the world founded on the knowledge that our rights were derived from our Creator directly.
Thank you again.
