Response - Santorum's Turn In The Barrel

Thanks to the most hard working person for America that I know for sending his thoughts re last night's posting – virtually there is not a night of the week that goes by that he is not out of his home working for our country.  To me he is our night watchman.  He is a long time subscriber to ReturnToExcellence.net & presents another Santorum quote other than the one re libertarians I presented last night & counters his with one from President Reagan.

It is important to realize that in 1776 all of our Founding Fathers were libertarians.  That is the Return To Excellence President Reagan is talking about below.

I CAN NOT VOTE FOR SANTORUM... JUST READ HIS QUOTE BELOW... HIS IDEA OF A TRADITIONAL CONSERVATIVE... WELL THAT'S NOT ME AND I WILL NOT HAVE ANY PART OF IT... WHO IS THIS GUY??? IT IS REAGAN WHO HAS IT CORRECT

One Santorum quote... and one quote from Reagan that explains why:

"This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don't think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can't go it alone." 

Ronald Reagan:

"I'm convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children; a minimum of government authority. Very simply, they want to be left alone in peace and safety to take care of the family by earning an honest dollar and putting away some savings. This may not sound too exciting, but there is something magnificent about it. On the farm, on the street corner, in the factory and in the kitchen, millions of us ask nothing more, but certainly nothing less than to live our own lives according to our values — at peace with ourselves, our neighbors and the world.
