My mother told me that everything in life happened for a purpose. She said all things were part of God's plan, even the most disheartening setbacks, and in the end, everything worked out for the best.

Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan (1911–2004) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler und Politiker, der von 1981 bis 1989 als 40. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten in Washington, D.C., amtierte. Er prägte eine konservative Wende und die politische Mobilisierung evangelikaler Christen, stand jedoch zugleich wegen der Iran-Contra-Affäre und einer wachsenden sozialen Ungleichheit in der Kritik. Für Bibelleser ist er heute durch seine Verknüpfung biblischer Motive mit patriotischer Rhetorik präsent, unter anderem durch die Proklamation des nationalen „Jahres der Bibel“ 1983.
