The ad contrasts the wisdom of Ronald Reagan versus the radicalism of today’s Obama-Pelosi regime.
The Republican Study Committee chaired by Rep. Tom Price releases a “greatest hits” compilation video of Democrats over the last eighteen months that speak to their attitude and approach to constitutional government. We’ve seen the moments before in earlier clips, but the RSC puts these together with warnings from Ronald Reagan about the danger to liberty from runaway government and liberal policies. If these seemed trenchant decades ago, they’re equally relevant now.

Approx. 29 minutes long and well worth the listen!
Wild Thing’s comment……..
OMG Reagan is/ was soooo good! We knew greatness having him for President. And now we know evil as we are stuck with Obama in office.
We have a long dangerous road ahead but we will prevail because we are right in our cause to save America. The Progressives are present at all levels of government and educational system. WE must rid them All, in time, and never let them back into authority at any level in our institutions.
Reagan, the anthesis of Obama.
A President who truly knew, understood and lived the ideals upon which this Nation was founded. Yes he made mistakes and errors, but not once did he seek to destroy the fabric of America. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the current occupant of the White House, who seems to seek ways on a daily basis.
How fortunate I am to have lived during his Presidency. I can tell you for a fact that personally, I have never been more well off, financially. Why, because I had more of my money to spend, and gave less to the Government.
I am lucky enough to live within driving distance of the Reagan Library. Every time I go there, I come away with a renewed feeling that I have been in the presence of greatness.
May God continue to bless this Great Nation and influence it’s citizens to start returning to the Reagan years, through the ballot box this Fall.
That is a great ad. If only all elected Repubs werea as true to conservatism as Ronald Reagan was. Thia ad certainly does point out what Reagan warned us about. However, I don’t know if Reagan even foresaw the terrible anti Americanism of the power players we have now in DC. IOf we don’t have a revolution this November and in 2012, our grandchildren will live in a socialist state reminiscent of Eastern Europe in the 60s.
“The Liberty Tree must be refreshed with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants in order to flourish.” Thomas Jefferson.
This might be the generation that has to refresh the tree. Reagan said, something similar, about every generation having to replenish Liberty.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free”.
“I don’t think you can overstate the importance that the rise of Islamic fundamentalism will have to the rest of the world in the century ahead -especially if, as seems possible, its most fanatical elements get their hand on nuclear and chemical weapons and the means to deliver them against their enemies.”
-Ronald Reagan.

Recordings of Ronald Reagan should be broadcast in the halls of our grade schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities on loop 24/7.
Sean that is wonderful what you shared about the Reagan Library. Thank you so much.
Tom, what you said is so true. If Reagan was alive today he would be as outraged, fed up, and heart broken as we are.
I agree too about if there is not a dramatic response in NOvember and again in 2012 America will be lost.
Mark, perfect quote, thank you.
Carlos, I agree and thank you for the quotes and the link.
