Reagan '66, opposing expansion of Redwood National Park "Facts are stupid things." '88 (slight misquote of John Adams, 'Facts are stubborn things.') "We think there is a parallel between federal involvement in education and the decline in profit over recent years." '83 "Fascism was really the basis for the New Deal."
