Happy Independence Day

"Isn't our choice really not one of left or right, but of
up or down? Down through the welfare state to statism, to
more and more government largesse accompanied always by more
government authority, less individual liberty, and ultimately,
totalitarianism, always advanced as for our own good. The
alternative is the dream conceived by our Founding Fathers, up
to the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with an orderly
society. We don't celebrate dependence day on the Fourth of July.
We celebrate Independence Day." Ronald Reagan (1984)
