It's too bad Reagan went away like he did.
We need him right now.
Buck up. Reagan would tell you it wasn't him, it's the ideas. It's the people. It's America. We are the bright shining city on the hill:
Whatever else history may say about me when I’m gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty’s lamp guiding your steps and opportunity’s arm steadying your way. - Ronald Reagan, Republican National Convention (1992)
