In 1961 the late great Ronald Reagan spoke out against socialized medicine. He was almost prophetic in his interpretation of government intentions. The arguments that he put forth so many years ago are before us again today. How can we not see that what he spoke back then is relevant today? And how is it that some in our society can look at our Founding Fathers as "antiquated" and "out of touch" with what our society needs today?

It will be hard to argue that times haven't changed since 1961. Technology, for example, has completely changed how the world does business. We are now more connected than ever before. Yet, the intentions of power hungry leaders and the corruption that enters the hearts of ill-willed men hasn't changed from the beginning of time. And if Ronald Reagan had it right so many decades ago, surely our Founding Fathers had it right when they penned our inspired Constitution.

Let us not look beyond the mark that they, our Founding Fathers, blazed for our generation, and let us look to the future with a learning eye always gazing on the past. It's amazing to me how middle-aged men and women, who have never lived under a tyrannical government like that of our fore-fathers, seem to "know better". The shear experiences that our predecessors lived through should not only garner our admiration, but also our learning eyes and ears; and I even dare say that we should pledge our lives, liberty, and our sacred honor to the principles that they forged in the Constitution by virtue of living through experiences that no one born and raised in the United States of America today has gone through. How arrogant a people we have become. To dismiss the lessons learned by our Founding Fathers in the refiners fire is a grave mistake indeed!

Please listen to what Mr. Reagan said so long ago, and search your heart as to whether or not there isn't a message for us here today in 2009.
