America Is The Moral Force

The Basis Of Conservatism Is A Desire For Less Government Interference Or Less Centralized Authority Or More Individual Freedom...

I Hope We Once Again Have Reminded People That Man Is Not Free Unless Government Is Limited. There's A Clear Cause And Effect Here That Is As Neat And Predictable As A Law Of Physics: As Government Expands, Liberty Contracts.

And Children, If Your Parents Haven't Been Teaching You What It Means To Be An American, Let 'em Know And Nail 'em On It. That Would Be A Very American Thing To Do.

I Am Told That Tens Of Thousands Of Prayer Meetings Are Being Held On This Day; For That I Am Deeply Grateful. We Are A Nation Under God, And I Believe God Intended For Us To Be Free. It Would Be Fitting And Good, I Think, If On Each Inaugural Day In Future Years It Should Be Declared A Day Of Prayer.

America Has Always Been Greatest When We Dared To Be Great. We Can Reach For Greatness Again. We Can Follow Our Dreams To Distant Stars, Living And Working In Space For Peaceful, Economic, And Scientific Gain. Tonight, I Am Directing Nasa To Develop A Permanently Manned Space Station, And To Do It Within A Decade.
