Reagan on America, Democracy, and God

“Maybe it's just that we want to say thank you to the Lord who blessed our country with freedom.”

April 22, 1985

“I think philosophers might want to contemplate the question: Why is the freest nation on Earth also the one in which it is so common to see people from every walk of life -- rich and poor, young and old -- rolling up their sleeves and pitching in to help others? Maybe it's just that we want to say thank you to the Lord who blessed our country with freedom.”
