My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the ('shining city upon a hill�) stronger, we made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all. And so, goodbye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.� - President Reagan�s farewell address, January 1989 ONE OF A KIND �Ronald Reagan is the last and only�presidential candidate I have voted FOR.� All the others that got my vote�has been�because they were AGAINST someone far worse!� - News & Views reader Jerry Murphy NEW SURVEY SAYS!

I don't care what killed him, Alzheimer's or the black plague, I'm glad he's dead and I don't care how many times I'm scolded or chastised for it. the day he took office was the most depressing day of my life, and i swore, that on the day he died, I'd drink a toast of celebration and figuratively piss on his grave and have said so to several Gingrich sucking Reagan worshipping dickheads.� F--k� Ronald Reagan, and i hope in some small way my f--k you counteracts all the bullsh-t we are going to be hammered with for a f--king month after the fall of this 'greeeeeaaaaaat human being'. F--k you Ronnie, here's to ya pal. see ya in hell.� - �mopaul� on the Democratic Underground website, 6/5/04 (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=1726149&mesg_id=1726149&page=) REMEMBERING THE GIPPER Join the Discussion Board and post your thought/memories of Ronald Reagan by surfing over to: http://blog.chuckmuth.com/blog/ REAGAN�S PRESCRIPTION �Realize that the doctor�s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. You can�t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.� - Ronald Reagan ASSAULT ON THE FREE MARKET �While it is easy and popular for some politicians and self-appointed consumer advocates to wail about the profits made by drug companies, it is these profits that underwrite research that will deliver the innovative drugs of the future. It is not a coincidence that almost all new drugs come from the United States and not nations with socialized medical care and price-controlled drug markets. Policies that undermine the profits of U.S. pharmaceutical companies logically eat up investment funds. The long-term affect of this can only be detrimental to public health. �Perhaps the most ridiculous argument in favor of reimportation is the claim that it is consistent with promoting a free market. Canada, for example, essentially blackmails U.S. corporations into selling products at low cost by threatening to accept foreign knockoffs if they don't. American firms are forced to acquiesce to defend their patents. Allowing these drugs � which foreign governments keep artificially underpriced through price controls and by threatening U.S. intellectual property � is the antithesis of the free market. �Nobel Prize-winning free-market economist Milton Friedman is opposed to reimportation. He explains that �the purpose of the patent was to enable the patent owner to make enough money to pay for the cost of producing the drug.� His 1962 book, �Capitalism and Freedom,� is scripture to those who believe markets are superior to central control of the economy. Conservatives who support reimportation are bucking both the free market and its prophet.� - Washington Times editorial, 6/5/04 UM, WE�LL TAKE THE COWBOY WITHOUT THE MEDALS ��(I)f you were worrying about the defense of the United States of America, who would you rather have in the White House: a guy who like so many people who send our children to war never served a day in his life overseas, or somebody who has been to war with three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star.� - �Howling� Howard Dean on the stump for John Kerry, 6/4/04 A REAL (MIS)LEADER �He misled the business community. He misled people in the General Assembly. And now, what have we found out? . . . (T)here�s a $300 million surplus. What a deception. What deceit.� - Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore (R) on Virginia Gov. Mark Warner�s (D) successful efforts to pass a huge new tax hike on Virginians earlier this year, 6/5/04 I�M THE NEANDERTHAL? �Chuck�your argument on behalf of smoker liberation is a stupid remnant of the stone age.� It is also why your argument against Ladies� Night is stupid.� No business owner who purveys goods and services to the general public has the right to give an undeserved�discount to one person without making it available to another person. � �...However, I do not think our social laws should go backwards.�. . . Black teenagers should be discouraged from dating and mating with white teenagers (and vice versa) because the resulting half-breed children dumb down the gene pool. Even someone with a Neanderthal brain like yours should be able to grasp the common sense of those points.� - News & Views reader Bob Hurt MEDIA SHRUGS �Apparently, national media outlets�are unimpressed with LP (presidential) nominee Michael Badnerik's credentials.� The new LP nominee is the first Libertarian to ever run for president who does not have a college degree.� Nor, did he serve in the military.� Further, he has never held elective office.��The self-proclaimed �Constitutional Scholar's��only claim to fame was a past run as a Libertarian�for state house in Texas where he received less than 2%.� No national�news wires have covered�Badnerik since his nomination.� - Columnist and political activist Eric Dondero * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Chuck Muth�s News & Views is published by Citizen Outreach, a non-partisan, 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
