"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Reagan Hated Berlin Wall From Start, Son Says

Why is Obama not attending the 20th anniverswary of the fall of the Berlin Wall? We heard a woman ask on the radio if the reason was they wouldn't let him speak at the Brandenberg Gate when he was running for office so he was paying them back by not attending. That is a strong possibility from this President.

President Reagan once again in the speech below reminds us of how things happen for the good when America is strong. We fear that the next three years of Obama are going to weaken the United States more then when Carter or Clinton were President.

For any of you who don't understand, Carter, Clinton, and now Obama are all Democrat Presidents who during their terms have wanted to apologize and appease our enemies. Appeasement doesn't work nor does changing the name from the War on Terror. Islamic fundamentalist still want to kill us no matter how many times Obama grovels.

Let this clip from President Reagan's speech at The Brandenberg Gate remind all of you what a strong America is all about.

With Monday marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ronald Reagan's son Michael tells Newsmax that his father was deeply troubled by the wall from the night it was first erected.

Michael Reagan also said President Barack Obama's decision not to attend the anniversary ceremonies in Berlin is "sad," but "completely consistent" with Obama.

On June 12, 1987, President Reagan delivered a rousing speech near the Berlin Wall in which he challenged the leader of the Soviet Union: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Less than 2 1/2 years later, on Nov. 9, 1989, the wall came down.

"This is something he wanted from the early 1960s," Reagan responded.

"In a debate with Bobby Kennedy he said, 'Why don't you have your brother tear down that wall?' That was in 1962. In a 1964 speech he talked about freedom for all those people behind the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain.
