Name the Politician quoted in this post.

Can you name this person without cheating? Either way, I would vote for em:

  1. "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
  2. "Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong."
  3. "I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress."
  4. "The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination."
  5. "Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."
  6. "It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."
  7. "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
  8. "No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women."
  9. "If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."

Ronald Reagan

Funny how his name makes Liberals shreak but everyone agrees with his words and philosophy....just can not say who said it.

Just was reading over it recently and longed for a candidate like this.
