It's not too late to RSVP for Hillsdale College's next "First Principles on First Fridays" lecture, featuring Dr. Paul Rahe, the Charles O. Lee and Louise K. Lee Chair in the Western Heritage at Hillsdale College.
"America's Finest Hour: The 20th Century's 75-Year War" November 6, 2009 7:30 - 8:45 AM The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium 214 Massachussetts Avenue, NE Washington, DC 20002
The First World War broke out at the beginning of August, 1914. The Cold War came to an end with the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989. The seventy-five years that passed between these two dates marked a prolonged and terrible crisis in the affairs of Europe and the world more generally; and, in coming to grips with the challenge posed by this crisis, Paul A. Rahe will argue in this brief lecture, the United States once again demonstrated that a nation—conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal—could meet the tests of time.
To attend this lecture, please RSVP by Wednesday, Nov. 4 at: http://www.hillsdale.edu/firstfridays.asp
Obama won’t be celebrating. Communists never celebrate defeats.
