Ronald Reagan and Personal Responsibility

May 08, 2017
Reagan: IN HIS WORDS

Law and Order

“We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”

- Ronald Reagan

Personal responsibility is what created the United States. Literally.

When our forefathers’ declared independence from England, they sent a signal to the world that freedom and liberty are only possible when each person is allowed to determine how to live their life.

They called these God-given rights. And with these rights come responsibilities.

We teach our children they will be held accountable for their actions. We tell them they will reap what they sow. Yet they often see lawbreakers set free, or never arrested in the first place. Many who are sent to prison commit more crimes upon their release.

This cycle repeats itself time and time again until the laws cease to be a deterrent. They become a mere nuisance to the criminals.

As President Reagan stated, it’s time to put a stop to this. Laws are laws for a reason. We need them in order to have a functioning society.

Some may disagree with a law. Fine. Seek to change it. Until then, live within the law.

When laws are not enforced, lawbreakers are in essence being told that their actions are permitted.

Laws are not the problem. Lawbreakers are the problem.

Personal responsibility is not a burden. It is a requirement for a country that was founded on the God-given rights of freedom and liberty.

To be truly free, one must be personally responsible. Take personal responsibility of your own rights, and make sure you are protecting yourself online.

    It would appear that responsibility is a thing of the passed and the blame game is more setting for some. Even though technology has advanced since our forefathers declared independence, for others commonsense has left the building.  I say it's time to wake up, we are not a third world country and this isn't the wild west. Nor did my brother and sisters put their lives on the line in which some gave the ultimate sacrifice so that the few could turn their backs and run like cowards and let the inmate run the prison. I will stand side by side with others to protect my God-given rights from enemy's foreign and domestic, this is my personally responsibility!!!

    President Reagan, and Nancy and their personal relationship with the Lord was incredible!! My wife and I will never forget Mrs. Nancy at his Funeral, and her utter grief at the end of the service at his casket. Their together love and devotion for each other every day is what she was going to truly miss….until they met again later in Heaven.
    The Lord truly gave them something special, because The Reagan's priorities were right with the Lord first above all else, and is why the Lord blessed them, and our Nation to truly have such leadership!!

    Unfortunately, many parents in my generation have dropped the ball on forwarding this ideology and, as a result, we are facing a crisis in this country whereby we are allowing our government officials to break, and ignore, laws in our country.  This is the example we are giving our children.  We need to change this.  We need to start grandparenting our next generation to success as a society that will sustain itself.

    It seems like it's more about entitlement these days rather than responsibility. The government today is way too big and way too much in your business. Too many people rely on the government to fix their problem. I really don't see any end to it.

    President Reagan.  Patriot, Statesman,  true to his convictions, fighting for freedom, and fighting for America, his Shining City on a Hill speech, was truly a look into the character and integrity of Ronald Wilson Regan, who believed that government was not the solution, government is the problem.

    Righteousness (includes law keeping) exalts a nation, but sin (lawlbreaking) is a reproach to any people.  We can blame the government, the judges, or the congressmen, and there's ample blame for all, but the bottom line is personal responsibility.  "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore  hearts of the sons of men are fully set in them to do evil." Prov 16:10

    If only more people would actually teach their children what they really need to know instead of letting social media do it for them.  Between that and the schools, most will have to learn life lessons the hard way.

    But if you happen to actually desire a partner-in-crime-docs, it means the dreaded Putting Yourself Out there. But there were breakthroughs, too. If there are any doubts in any respect don’t do it, as soon as you're in a relationship it is going to be extra painful to interrupt up down the line. Some people have a phobia of the phrase “relationship” if you are feeling they could have a slight worry of dedication strive suggesting you become unique first after which depart it for some time earlier than labelling it a relationship. Honestly, you'd must be a narcissist or sociopath to not even be a bit of self-conscious or visibly uncomfortable on a primary date. And even worse, you’ve put the burden of persevering with the conversation on her, so arising with a response is work for her. McGuiness acknowledges that it wasn’t actually all of these dates that made her really feel higher; it was the time she spent centered on herself, going horseback riding and standing up for herself at work. First dates are alleged to be the bumbly, barely-uncomfortable feeling-every-other-out stage. 6. Consider planning an activity to your first date fairly than simply sitting and speaking, which might put strain on your conversational skills. You need to use this method if you end up sending messages on-line.

The research paper on online dating could have to maintain a unique line, however you will see that the ways of creating these two title sorts are pretty much the identical. These final two choices can be found to premium members solely. McGuiness went on dates to strengthen her ties to members of the family and even cities, and she consulted a spiritual healer who gave her inspiring advice. You could possibly even need to earnestly, contemplate offering some other identify just on your vid, like a pen identify. I have a client who stated she’d by no means date a man a lot older than she, and not one who didn’t want children. This enables her to have complete control over who she works with and will finish the association with anyone the moment they present rudeness or disrespect. A survey by Redbook and Smart Money magazines reveals over seventy % of individuals in a relationship discuss to their companions a minimum of once a week about cash. 11. Girls over the community admire guys which can be always surrounded by other women as it conveys a tribal chief kind rank.

    Because everyone’s life is different, guys. Try my books, Introverts in Love: The Quiet Strategy to Happily Ever After; The Introverts Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World; and 100 Places within the USA Every Woman Should Go. Not solely is it essential to your self-care, however when a woman is keen about her life, she’s magnetic. When writing the middle part, it is important to give your readers a while to relaxation. Don't surrender, but take breaks when it all starts getting sporting. This is seen as a giant step and will provide you with a clue as to how serious they are about you. Free membership websites are really helpful if you're new to the online dating world. And also you would possibly discover it's a must to experiment with various websites earlier than you discover one which feels right for you.
