Our very unity has been strengthened by this pluralism. That's how we began; this is how we must always be. The ideals of our country leave no room whatsoever for intolerance, anti-Semitism, or bigotry of any kind -- none. The unique thing about America is a wall in our Constitution separating church and state. It guarantees there will never be a state religion in this land, but at the same time it makes sure that every single American is free to choose and practice his or her religious beliefs or to choose no religion at all. Their rights shall not be questioned or violated by the state.-- Remarks at the International Convention of B'nai B'rith, 6 September 1984.","author":"Ronald Reagan","tags":["athiest","church","government","religion"],"id":3249,"author_id":"Ronald+Reagan"},{"text":"Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. Was too strong.","author":"Ronald Reagan","tags":["peace","war"],"id":8989,"author_id":"Ronald+Reagan"},{"text":"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession.

Abortion on demand now takes the lives of up to 1.5 million unborn children a year. Human life legislation ending this tragedy will some day pass the Congress, and you and I must never rest until it does. Unless and until it can be proven that the unborn child is not a living entity, then its right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness must be protected.","author":"Ronald Reagan","tags":["abortion","life","morals","reagan","religion","ronald"],"id":37867,"author_id":"Ronald+Reagan"},{"text":"All great change in America begins at the dinner table.","author":"Ronald Reagan","tags":["change","america","dinner "],"id":38496,"author_id":"Ronald+Reagan"},{"text":"When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.","author":"Ronald Reagan","tags":["light","you","see "],"id":45388,"author_id":"Ronald+Reagan"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":140,"pages":14,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
