Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against ObamaCare
by PubliusNo, we haven’t performed a miracle and resurrected Ronald Reagan to provide his take on the current health care debate. We didn’t have to, because the ideas underlying the current proposals, whether it is ObamaCare, PelosiCare or the Reid health care legislation, have been around for decades. This Reagan speech, from 1961, comes for the early days of the debate over Medicare and Medicaid. Well, here we are again. And, Reagan’s words are still relevant.
Until a national figure steps forward to challenge the underlying flawed philosophy behind the Obama Administration’s policies, we’ll continue to look to our past for inspiration. Until someone steps forward to make the case for freedom, we will draw strength from those past figures who did so.

Let the private sector control the cost, get the Government "completely" out of it. There are price wars going on in the cosmetic surgery market, why?
Boy we sure could use him now.
An honest, humble and timeless man who saw the corruption of government unleashed on the general public. He warned us, folks…. We trusted Congress and look what they have done to the Constitution and our freedoms.
We all now what we have to do currently and through to November of 2012. No more RINO's just tested and vetted true Conservatives ! There are no alternatives for a free America. For you morons in Ct. I suggest you look carefully at your current POS…. Barney Frank. California you can forget about… They live in a reverse world. Screw them.
Wow!!
it's an absolute travesty that the impotent Republican party fails miserably to communicate the real issues of Obamacare to the American people today. "public option" my @$$.
if ya wanna see what happens when you give the govt. a bunch a money for something in the future…2 words socialist security

"Taxation without representation." Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah. Dare we say revolution?
i hope we cryogenically froze him just in case
Allen West is the new Conservative voice of America…He will be my new Congressman (FL D-22) in 2010, that is if we can secure the election process…Please pass this video around and help Allen get recognized…His loyalty, honesty, and commitment to the Constitution can take him well beyond a seat in the Congress…Thanks

Someone should grab that clip and send it to everyone in congress.
Amazing.
yea like our congress persons listen. we need to teach them VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND CHANGE THEIR GAME PLAN.
Ronald Reagan was a prophet.
What is to be done?
Ronal Reagan was not a prophet. He was a patriot who saw things the way they are supposed to be. Nothing will change until we follow his dogma and do the changing folks. We have so little time left before this country will fall apart thanks to the idiots who fraudulently voted this administration in.
We need to clean house from the bottom up. Every crevice and every corrupt congressman has to go!!!
It's too bad this recorded Reagan speech wasn't played at every Tea Party in the nation over the past year. His words almost 50 years ago are as true today as they were then. While I'm proud of the Tea Partiers, and I think we did about all we could do, hearing his voice and those words would have provided even more inspiration to fight this scourge of socialized medicine (leading to socialism).
R.I.P. President Reagan
Here's a video remix of part of another Reagan speech, with some clips of modern Democrats spliced in at the appropriate point. Check it out: http://optoons.blogspot.com/2009/10/1964-ronald-r...
Channelling Ronald Reagan on Healthcare…
H/T Publius We’ll let Ronald Reagan speak for himself. We need a prophet for this age and another go-around with healthcare and government controlling our health, our pocketbook, and our lives:……
Throw the tea bags in the harbor. It worked before.
Hey, cool! I was sending this around in emails before the election. Reagan was real. He may not have been a great actor, but the people liked him because he was the genuine product, the real deal.
Zombie Regan, perhaps?
Mago
The democrats would call it Heresy!
(dissent or deviation from a dominant theory, opinion, or practice b : an opinion, doctrine, or practice contrary to the truth or to generally accepted beliefs or standards)
Dissent to what they call truth.
Scott
We saw it, we knew it, and we haven't given up.

Good.
Were did you find the original film?
That would be considered terrorist… (sarc)
RR was the original 'The ONE'
Zombie Reagan would still be plenty more decisive than our current POTUS.
We would just have to tolerate his insatiable appetite for brains…
know how to starve a zombie, put him with a bunch a democrats
Throw the goddamn democrats and turncoat RINOs in the harbor, but only after it's been well stocked with starving piranha. Obama first.
We should watch what we say Ronald would and would not do. He fell on both ideological sides of the fence I certain things, immigration just the mention one:
