Ronald Wilson Reagan ; Tampico, Illinois; 6 de febrero de 1911 - Bel-Air, Los Ángeles; 5 de junio de 2004 fue un actor y político estadounidense, el cuadragésimo presidente de los Estados Unidos entre 1981 y 1989 y el trigésimo tercer gobernador del estado de California entre 1967 y 1975.

Nacido en Illinois, en 1928 se mudó a Los Ángeles, California, donde trabajó como actor, fue presidente del Screen Actors Guild y portavoz de la compañía multinacional de infraestructuras, servicios financieros y medios de comunicación General Electric . Su inicio en la política ocurrió durante su trabajo en GE; originalmente miembro del Partido Demócrata, se cambió al Partido Republicano en 1962 a la edad de 51 años. Tras pronunciar un entusiasta discurso en apoyo a la candidatura presidencial de 1964 de Barry Goldwater, fue persuadido para lograr la gobernación de California, ganándola dos años después y por segunda vez en 1970. Fue vencido en su carrera por la nominación republicana presidencial en 1968 y en 1976, pero ganó tanto la nominación como las elecciones en 1980, convirtiéndose en Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América.

Como presidente introdujo nuevas y osadas iniciativas políticas y económicas. Su política económica, entroncada en la llamada economía de la oferta, se haría famosa bajo el nombre de "reaganomics", caracterizada por la desregularización del sistema financiero y por las rebajas substanciales de impuestos implementadas en 1981. En su primer período, sobrevivió a un intento de asesinato, marcó una línea dura contra los sindicatos y además ordenó acciones militares en la independiente isla caribeña de Granada, próxima a la costa de Venezuela. Fue reelegido con una gran mayoría en las elecciones de 1984. El segundo período de Reagan estuvo marcado principalmente por asuntos extranjeros, siendo los más importantes el fin de la Guerra Fría, el bombardeo de Libia y la revelación del escándalo Irán-Contras. Previamente el presidente había ordenado un masivo incremento militar para la lucha estrecha contra la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas , dejando atrás la estrategia de la détente. Describió públicamente a la URSS como el "imperio del mal" y apoyó movimientos anticomunistas en todo el mundo a través de la denominada Doctrina Reagan. Negoció el Tratado INF para el desarme nuclear con el secretario general soviético Mijaíl Gorbachov, logrando la reducción de los arsenales nucleares de ambos países.

Dejó el cargo en 1989. En 1994 el expresidente reveló que le habían diagnosticado la enfermedad de Alzheimer a comienzos de ese año. Murió diez años después a la edad de noventa y tres, siendo uno de los expresidentes más longevos del país. Wikipedia

“If history teaches anything, it teaches that self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.”

Speech to the House of Commons (8 June 1982) http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1982/60882a.htm
1980s, First term of office (1981–1985)
Contexto: From Stettin on the Baltic to Varna on the Black Sea, the regimes planted by totalitarianism have had more than thirty years to establish their legitimacy. But none — not one regime — has yet been able to risk free elections. Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root.... If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.... Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used, for the ultimate determinant in the struggle that's now going on in the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas, a trial of spiritual resolve, the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, the ideals to which we are dedicated.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Address to the annual meeting of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce (30 March 1961)
Later variant: Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

This was a signature phrase of Ronald Reagan — he used it dozens of times in public, although he was not the first person known to use it. When Reagan used this phrase, he was usually discussing relations with the Soviet Union and he almost always presented it as a translation of the Russian proverb "doveriai, no proveriai".

Republican National Convention http://65.126.3.86/reagan/html/reagan08_17_92.shtml (17 August 1992)
Post-presidency (1989–2004)

“I know what I'm about to say now is controversial, but I have to say it. This nation cannot continue turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the taking of some 4,000 unborn children's lives every day. That's one every 21 seconds. One every 21 seconds. We cannot pretend that America is preserving her first and highest ideal, the belief that each life is sacred, when we've permitted the deaths of 15 million helpless innocents since the Roe versus Wade decision. 15 million children who will never laugh, never sing, never know the joy of human love, will never strive to heal the sick, feed the poor, or make peace among nations. Abortion has denied them the first and most basic of human rights. We are all infinitely poorer for their loss. There's another grim truth we should face up to: Medical science doctors confirm that when the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing. This nation fought a terrible war so that black Americans would be guaranteed their God-given rights. Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some could decide whether others should be free or slaves. Well, today another question begs to be asked: How can we survive as a free nation when some decide that others are not fit to live and should be done away with? I believe no challenge is more important to the character of America than restoring the right to life to all human beings. Without that right, no other rights have meaning. "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of God."”

I will continue to support every effort to restore that protection including the Hyde-Jepsen respect life bill. I've asked for your all-out commitment, for the mighty power of your prayers, so that together we can convince our fellow countrymen that America should, can, and will preserve God's greatest gift.

“I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen to own guns for sporting, hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon.”

At the University of Southern California (February 6, 1989) when asked his opinion on gun control after the January 17, 1989 Cleveland Elementary School shooting that killed five schoolchildren in Stockton ([Becklund, Laurie, `Saddled Up' Reagan Vows to Speak on Issues, Los Angeles Times, February 7, 1989, 1]).
