Reagan on America, God, and Democracy
“Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is. The destructiveness and human wreckage mock our heritage.”
September 14, 1986
“In this crusade, let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is. The destructiveness and human wreckage mock our heritage. Think for a moment how special it is to be an American. Can we doubt that only a divine providence placed this land, this island of freedom, here as a refuge for all those people on the world who yearn to breathe free?”
