Ronald Reagan on Townhall

• Labor Day Reminds Us of the Need for Jobs Tue Sep 4
  Phyllis Schlafly
  The businesses that support and lobby for so-called free trade are always trying to wrap themselves in Ronald Reagan. But that's false because Reagan would not have allowed America to be cheated coming and going by foreign countries. ... more

• Five Things Romney Needs From the GOP Convention Tue Aug 28
  Rachel Marsden
  This week's Republican convention in Tampa, Fla., is a political autobahn. Depending on how Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan play it, they'll either gain some unfettered mileage in advancing their agenda with the voting public, or slam into a pole in a single-car crash. ... more

• Paul Ryan Could Make History By Resolving Reagan's Regret Wed Aug 22
  Ralph Benko
  When Ronald Reagan was elected president the Dow Jones Industrial Average hovered around 1,000 (less than 2,800 inflation adjusted) — and had dipped, under President Carter, as low as 759. Unemployment stood at an unacceptable 7+%. The Soviet Union was aggressive, bellicose, and, in the eyes of the Western policy elite, could be but contained, not challenged. At the end of Reagan’s eight years in office, the Dow had tripled in value, on its way much higher. Job growth was vibrant. The USSR was well on its way to dissolution. ... more

• Jeane Kirkpatick’s War: It Was Against Totalitarianism. And It's Far From Over. Thu Aug 9
  Cliff May
  Jeane Kirkpatrick spent her life studying — and fighting — totalitarianism. Reading Peter Collier’s illuminating new biography, Political Woman: The Big Little Life of Jeane Kirkpatrick, I was struck by how closely the war against Communism in the 20th century mirrors the war against Islamism in the 21st — and by how little we’ve learned. ... more
• The G.O.P.'s One-Legged Stool? Tue Aug 7
  Frank Gaffney
  Ronald Reagan forged a winning electoral majority on the stable foundation of what he described as a three-legged stool: fiscal discipline, traditional values and peace through strength. ... more
• Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Now the Liberals Covet the Corpses of Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan Thu Aug 2
  Emmett Tyrrell
  Milton Friedman, the great economist, was one of a handful of intellectuals whose work forms the foundation for the modern Conservative movement. He has been dead since 2006, but this week would be his centennial. ... more
• Want Hope? Make a Change. Thu Aug 2
  Michael Reagan
  President Obama was supposed to be all about hope and change. But after almost four years he's squeezed the hope out of most of us. A new Rasmussen poll is the latest proof that the only hope of getting out of our economic ditch is to fire the hopeless guy in the White House who keeps digging it deeper. ... more
• Condoleezza Rice makes compelling case for school choice, criticizes class warfare rhetoric on Friedman’s 100th birthday Thu Aug 2
  Kyle Olson
  Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a compelling case for school choice Tuesday at The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice dinner honoring Milton Friedman’s 100th birthday. Friedman, who died in 2006, was universally known as one of the most influential economists of the 20th century. ... more
• Edging Closer to the Fiscal Cliff Fri Jul 27
  Mattie Duppler Corrao
  In typical Washington fashion, hyperbole regarding the challenges coming for the lame-duck Congress is heating up, while actual solutions remain slim. Talk of averting the $50 billion defense sequester coming on January of 2013 and replacing the cuts with tax hikes stand to upend the gains taxpayers have made this year as we edge closer to the “Fiscal Cliff.” ... more

• Obamanomics Is Final Nail in Keynesians’ Coffin Tue Jul 17
  Peter Ferrara
  Keynesian economics is the false vision of human action that says the way to promote economic recovery and renewed growth is through increased government spending, deficits and debt. If that sounds nuts, that's because it is. ... more
• The Ghost of Ronald Reagan Sat Jul 14
  Bill O'Reilly
  The ghost of Ronald Reagan is about to haunt President Obama. If Mitt Romney has any political savvy at all, he will begin channeling the late president and introduce his ghost into the economic debate forthwith. ... more

• Memo to Team Romney: Flipping the Obama Campaign on its Back Wed Jun 27
  Ralph Benko
  President Obama’s re-election strategy will be predicated on blaming the economic stagnation on George W. Bush, and, thus, the GOP, my colleagues Frank Cannon and Jeff Bell persuasively argued recently in The Weekly Standard. Cannon and Bell are right. And, that said, Bush’s fiscal policies were not the culprit. ... more
• Barack Obama's Perfect Plan for Economic Decline Wed Jun 27
  Peter Ferrara
  On June 14, President Obama announced his economic plan to finally bring economic recovery and growth to the U.S. in a much ballyhooed address in Cleveland. He threw down the gauntlet to Mitt Romney on the issue, saying "more than anything else, this election presents a choice between two fundamentally different visions of how to create strong sustained growth; how to pay down our long term debt; and most of all, how to generate good, middle-class jobs...." ... more
• A City on a Hill Thu Jun 21
  Jackie Gingrich Cushman
  John Winthrop, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, crossed the ocean from England to New England aboard the Arabella in early 1630. While aboard, he penned a directive that he read to those traveling with him either while they were still on board the ship or shortly after they had disembarked that June in Salem. Most of them were Puritans, who were leaving England for religious freedom as well as to start afresh in a New World, as directed by God. ... more
