- Ronald Reagan speaks at his first inaugural of limiting government and letting the dreams of American citizens, the real heroes, drive America's prosperity and success. All video is public domain.
That is impressive speech
Values of courage and determination make you hero
Why are so many people hating on Reagan ?
Truely one of the greatest and most inspiring American leaders! President Reagan inspiried Americans to be great. If you want perfection, you'll never find it in a human being. Never! Can't you appreciate the one man who worked harder then anyone to promote peace and prosparity?
its too bad we dont have people like this today.
Always brings tears of pride!
This is the stuff that makes a difference in life,Knowledge is everything and the learning should never stop,' I used too hate Reagan and hate Rush and hate the Cops And hate other races I was wrong way wrong it was with in me and my culture that I now despise and I'm in a race to be a defender of all truth.
And his legacy shall forever live on.
Where is the Ronald Reagan for this Century???? I feel so lucky to have lived during his Presidency!
The greatest american president, how I wish to have him back at the top seat of our country.
It is the job of the people to support the government. It is NOT the job of the government to support it's people.
We need someone like him in the white house... and I need a time machine to go back to the 80s
i hope he is talking about government during that time, the real government acts on its own, behind people eyes... the real american heros are those who say NO to the government and YES to the american people's needs
My favorite Presidents:
1) Theodore Roosevelt
2) Ronald Reagan
3) Abraham Lincoln
i like ronald reagan. i don't like politics. I'm not republican, nor democrat.
American Hero!! May God bless our Republic!
They don't make em like the Gipper anymore. You'll note no teleprompter, unlike the current President.
I really miss Ronald Reagan.
124 people lived in the USSR during the 1980's. (disclaimer: i am not trying to insult Russia or Russians i love the country).
@IEatBananas No, standardized testing does not cause fraud. Teachers who engage in fraud should be fired.
@JohnJ2427 what research is that? Do you have non-biased sources?
Reagan raised taxes and increased the federal deficit. Let that one sink in.
government should stay out of people's lives,wallets and homes
This man's words should be in the bible
If his words aren't already there
vote up if ronald reagans the best president
Freedom of Speech, its the little things people.
@GrowTheTruth Of all the things to criticize Reagan for, his economic policy was right on. He couldn't force the legislature to give him what he wanted, but he was on the right side.
Ronald, help us...
Regan!! We needed you in the 8 years when the horrible president Obama was in office!!!
@ metalkev00 I agree with most of what you say. For me, a Vietnam Vet who's paid my dues, he ran up the first debt in the trillions. Bush did it too as are the democrats. This is not tit for tat. I just want a president that represents the middleclass. It wasn't Reagan as it isn't Obama.
@insightnew You cannot change the Constitution by signing a Treaty. The Constitution supersedes. A Treaty is "the law of the land" the way a federal law is. You can't pass a federal law that violates the Constitution either.
@GrowTheTruth I have a feeling we would disagree about Reagan's "crimes". Rather than argue that point, there's only been one perfect individual who has ever lived, so we are all guilty of the crime of being less than perfect. A hero is not someone who is perfect. A hero is someone who strives to do the best s/he can.
@GrowTheTruth
"Even the New York Times stated that the current economic crisis can be traced back to Reagan's administration" The New York Times is hardly unbiased. Reagan was the last anti-communist. When he was inaugurated we had high unemployment, high interest rates and high inflation. his fiscal policies, though very unpopular in some circles, brought back the US economy. His foreign policy was instrumental in the removal of the Berlin wall and the demise of the Soviet Socialist Empire.
Respond to this video...
Our current economic woes can be traced back to two things, one way before Reagan and one after. First the creation of the Federal Reserve (Which Kennedy wanted to abolish) Which gave us fiat currency, controlled by a small group of private bankers. The second was expansion of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae lending rules to to allow mortgage lending to people without proper qualifying. Republicans tried to stop the latter in 2004 when the housing market was booming
What a tragic fate for the republic - Reagan's words, which should be mid stream, are viewed as "far right"
So consumed with "democracy" and "tolerance" we have lost all understanding of Liberty.
@GrowTheTruth I agree, when I was younger I was in private school. The education was more valuable than that of a public school. When I finally went to a public school, there was no passion for anything, it was a waste of time. I wish I could tell you more about this but in a rush to leave, I'll explain more later.
@GrowTheTruth This is partly a problem of blaming presidents for things that they have very little control over. Partisanship has gotten so bad that people throw whatever they can in the hopes that it will stick. Let's stick to blaming politicians for the actions they take. Reagan personally fought for tax cuts. He fought against increased spending. He fought to reduce burdensome regulation. He was on the right side.
Ooh, I get all the attention to a more than one year old video now!!! Today is that "celebrating 100 years of Ronald Reagan". Man, look at the comments section lighting up with all these, dare I say, haters.
Too bad too, I bet this place was pretty peaceful before today.
A great Leader.
@GrowTheTruth As you said, most Americans are against Americans defending ourselves. There's a deep-rooted self-loathing among Americans who feel that the fact that America is imperfect means that we're an evil nation. Just like with people who say that Reagan being imperfect makes him not a hero. Hero's aren't perfect. They're just people who continually strive to do the best they can to overcome their imperfections and make the world better. That's America at our best.
@GrowTheTruth
I presume you are fairly new to this world, stating that all of our p[roblems can be traced back to Reagan. He was far from perfect, as are we all. He was exactly the leader we needed at the time. the Carter economy had devastated the US. The Carter diplomacy made us so weak that a third world dictator held US cititzens hostage for almost two years. The theocratic despots in Iran released our people the day after Reagan was inaugurated.
HATERS GOING TO HATE.
@JohnJ2427 well a majority of the people that voted agreed with him in principle. That doesn't mean everyone agrees with everything he does. Realize that only 20-30% of Americans even vote and it takes only 51% of them to vote for one candidate for them to win. That means that less than 15% of Americans elected him... or any president for that matter.
You shouldn't remove all comments you don't want to hear. If you post the video, please let people decide and verbalize how they feel about it.
Happy Birthday Reagan
@GrowTheTruth listen we are middleclass and ever since clinton came in and the dems got control of the congress we (my family) have never gotten a refund from our taxes we have had to pay. Thats the truth of right there.
@Vash1286 No, it's not treason. Investigations concluded that "arms sales were at most a failed and perhaps mistaken policy. There was no cover-up involving the president." People who call it treason are like those who call Obama a traitor for passing legislation they don't like. You can disagree with someone's policies without calling them unAmerican.
does anyone have a good reason to hate on this man plus some reliable sources to support their answer?
what a great message! One I think kids need to hear more about today.
@thebbeenn Actually there is a difference Reagan is promoting the idea that role of government should decreases as to allow people the freedom to make the country better. Obama thinks that it is the government's role to watch over and take care of people rather than protecting their rights and freedoms. to make that simpler Reagan- we're going to step back and let you guys have at it.
Obama- Let me do this for you.
@AmerMadesko - Clinton was elected in '92. For 2 years, he had a Democrat controlled House and a Democrat controlled Senate. The deficit increased during those 2 years. It wasn't until Republicans took control of both the House and Senate in the '94 mid-term elections that the budget was balanced (thanks to the Contract With America). This isn't about Bush, I wasn't a big fan of Bush. This is about Reagan. And the country prospered economically under Ronald Reagan.
yes
@JohnJ2427 I definitely agree with you that the school system is too bureaucratic but I still think it should be funded federally so everyone can get an education not just the ones who can afford it. The government definitely needs to cut some slack on the rules (but not too much) and promote some critical thinking within each school so that the admin can make the school run to its maximum efficiency and reach prosperity.
I am thinking that you were either not old enough to remember this event or were simply not watching the news at the time. How can you say the majority of the population were not aware of what was going on when it was the major topic on the nightly news for weeks? It was all that was talked about. It was the object of congressional hearings which were also aired on tv. So where was the evidence?
@Meep200X Um, Excuse me? Ronald Regan actually got something done in American History.
@GrowTheTruth What did Reagan do that caused the unemployment rate to go up in 1982, and then go back down? I know! He cut taxes and regulation! Win for Reagan!
@derteqal He's helped us more than modern communists and liberals ever will. And that's pretty damn good.
@sleestackgod Ronald Reagan is the greatest modern president.
@rockyrigby It's considered progress. It gives regulation, unrest, stripping of freedoms' etc.
One law was the gun bans in the UK. It lets you not buy a gun for protection, but criminals don't need to listen to that law; they're breaking it.
Do you?
@GrowTheTruth: This is not the case according to the "credible" source that I cited. I would like for you to cite your source, please.
@GrowTheTruth You've got to be kidding me! What happened to the Federal Reserve? What about the Depression? America wouldn't have economic problems if it weren't for Reagan? That's ridiculous!
Please.....read the american history and research more....he is not what he is being adored for. ..after all he was an actor....he started it all making the rich richer and leaving us now in this dilemma ...please do you research and before you conclude before blaming....
Reagan's policies make my life significantly more difficult. I don't think he was a good President, no matter how well he read those speeches.
@forty8r Punishing the rich hurts the poor. Abstaining from punishing the rich does not hurt the poor, nor does it make them more poor. Nothing fights poverty as well as capitalism. It's worse to be poor under communism than under capitalism.
Remember Reagan Era? Need I say more...
@WizardLord69 Explain to me then how he basically brought us out of the recession of the 1970's to the early 80's.
We Americans have to oppurtunity to get wealthy. There is no guarentee, so there will always be a gap between the poor and wealthy.
We need him today.
@GordanCable Yes, I do. Cato is a great unbiased source. I highly recommend them. But I think everyone should look for a variety of sources. Getting several different points of view is a great way to reduce the effect of bias.
@JohnJ2427 Isn't it pretty well accepted that standardized tests are horrible for education as it causes teachers to teach for the tests not to teach for learning?
@becanbaur Only if you believe that the quality of education depends on the level of federal funding. That idea has been discredit, though. Test scores stay flat regardless of how much federal money is spent on education. Therefore, cutting the federal education budget doesn't hurt education.
@GrowTheTruth Because without war, how will we educate? how will we have the freedom and oppertunities to attend schools that might not be the best in the world, but compaired to some countries, are a royalty.
he de-regulated wall street, ending up screwing us over to this day
No matter what you think of him, his statement about heroes was and still is 100% correct.
@GrowTheTruth I can understand that. A wise man once said that politics is the world's second-oldest profession, and has a lot in common with the oldest profession. I think the best way to get politicians to support a good idea is to make it popular. That's about all that we little people can do. We just have to promote good ideas as best as we can.
@Tweekerhead No. :|
The networks I mentioned said that the riots in Egypt aren't a big deal. I'm sorry, but over 500 dead and thousands injured seems like a big deal. Not the mention Jordan and Yemen's governments stepping down.
@JohnJ2427 Oh and one more thing. Your comparison to Obama passing legislation that people don't like is flawed. Reagan didn't get congressional permission. In fact he had to disobey congress in order to make the arms sale to Iran. That's why it was illegal. Financing the Contra rebels was also forbidden by congress. That's why it was illegal. Obama passing legislation is not Illegal. See the difference.
@iseesquares Re war on drugs: Agreed. Reagan wasn't perfect. Given his experience in Hollywood he likely had first hand knowledge of the damages that drugs , including alcohol can do. He probably allowed his emotion to cloud his judgment on that issue. Reagan understood that a person who wishes to be cared for by a government is a subject. A person who wants the government to leave one to fend for one's self is a citizen. Reagan refused to mollycoddle, home and abroad. For that he was reviled.
BY THE PEOPLE FOR DA PEOPLE!
find a better place anywhere in the world,,,you wont thats why your still here.
@thebbeenn Yes, they are that different. Reagan advocated individual freedom. Obama advocates government power. Total opposites.
So that's where pronoun sensitivity came from... "Now I have used the words 'they' and 'they're'"..."I could say 'you' and 'you're' because I'm addressing..."
@xXTREY4LIFEXx Really? FDR created a multitude of entitlement programs and Reagan's at fault?
No. He's aknowledged by many as an amazing president. If you disagree why are you here on a vid HONORING the man?
@insightnew Just so that others are not misled by your ignorance, I want to point out that Treaties are not Constitutional amendments. Because the Constitution specifically allocates the power to declare war to congress, the authority to force America to go to war cannot be delegated to a foreign country. Quite frankly, anyone who thinks it could be shouldn't vote.
im not sure if i like him or dont.
I seem to remember the US supporting the removal of the Shah as well. For that we were rewarded with the 444 day hostage crisis. Komani was not any more benevolent than his predecessor. It does not seem to matter whether they have secular or religious leaders in those countries, they are all oppressive. I reject the notion that we are to blame for the way Iran or any of those countries are. When they are not killing us they are killing each other. That is who they are.
I think Obama needs to listen to this video, might be like a cold splash of water to the face on a rigid winter morning.
We need this logic today!
Nobody talks like this anymore.
@ChihuahuaboyDH Third, I do not believe Regan understood "by the people" as I do. He said government was the prpblem. If government is by the people, how can the people turn around and blam the government? We all need to be reponsible for our choices, we are our government! Read up on our history and your reprsentatives. Vote wisely, IT MATTERS!!
@ChihuahuaboyDH
Did you seriously just compare Gingrich to Reagan!?
@GrowTheTruth Maybe a little less opinion and a little more actual historical facts. I think that'd make a difference.
I'll start: historical fact - Reagan fought to cut taxes. Low taxes help economic growth. Win for Reagan.
Historical fact - Reagan fought to curb spending. The legislature overrode him, but he was on the right side. Win for Reagan.
Historical fact - Reagan fought against burdensome regulation. Stupid regulations are bad for the economy. Win for Reagan!
@JohnJ2427 Oh so that's what you were saying. I thought you were for the privatization of school systems. Then yes definitely. The school systems should be funded by each state so it's much easier to distribute the money. As for rules and regulations I think some of the major rules should be set by the country while some of the more "flexible" rules should be set by local municipalities to increase the quality of the education.
Reagan does not deserve to be celebrated in any way.
@iseesquares Re war on drugs: Agreed. Reagan wasn't perfect. Given his experience in hollywood he likely had first hand knowledge of the damages that drugs , including alcohol can do allowed his emotion to cloud his judgment on that issue. What Reagan did understand was that a person who wishes to be cared for by a government is a subject. A person who wants the government to leave one to fend for one's self is a citizen.
@insightnew My comparison was not flawed. Reagan did nothing illegal. I suggest you research the issue since it is so important to you. Also, many people believe that ObamaCare is unconstitutional, and hence illegal. But that does not make Obama a traitor for signing it. I suggest you try to be a little more open-minded to other points of views. Learning a little more will also help you to be less arrogant.
america have a border that will let you leave if you dont like it here...noone will stop you
@MrMegaFredzeppelin just the united states?
I love the general lack of intelligence amongst those that make comments on here. Utilizing incorrect grammar and improper speech practices.
@becanbaur That's only because you think the federal government is the only source of funding for schools. Federal funding is hurting schools, not helping them. Schools that are funded locally respond to the oversight of local administrators, who are better positioned to evaluate if the school is doing its job. Schools funded by the federal government are less responsive because they're too bureaucratic.
That is, at least, my understanding of the issue. I encourage you to do your own research.
Ok, what exactly was affected by Iran-contra? You said so much was affected. I guess my biased mind is having a hard time remembering. It did affect the hostages, but other than that I guess I am at a loss as to why it was that big a deal, other than that it gave the media a lot of material to sell news papers and air time with. I am even more at a loss to understand why I am arguing about this 30 years later. Just bored I guess.
@GrowTheTruth I have a feeling that we would agree on a lot of things going forward, despite probably disagreeing on some of the details of the past. The future is, I think, more important.
Yah so if you were in the top 5% Reagan was great, if you weren't then not so much
FlashProduktions basically says that Iran is not responsible for anything bad it does because it's all America's fault. Iran has no capacity for making its own choices. His perspective is that if there are two boys who get into a fight, you can blame boy A for everything bad he did, while also blaming boy A for everything bad boy B did, because boy B was only acting in response to boy A. No matter what boys A and B actually did, always use this argument when you hate boy A.
