Great line from RR... "We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind...and it's been said that if we lose this war, and in so doing, lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who have the most to lose did the least to prevent it from happening."

Today that enemy is two-fold. Terrorism and liberalism. The time of "doing nothing" is over. Conservatives need to fight back, and hard.

The 1964 Reagan speech was his entry into politics. I remember well the first time I heard it. It was in support of the Goldwater candidacy and it defined what conservatism was and is all about. That speech launched his career as Governor of California and eventually as President.

It is worth noting that when Goldwater ran for president against the incumbent Lyndon Johnson he knew that he was very unlikely to win. And he was really trounced by Johnson. But even knowing this he felt, and stated many times, that it would be worth it if, by running, he could launch a conservative movement in this country. Well he did. Goldwater is the father of Reagan the President and he too should get a little credit for what Reagan accomplished.

I saved this for later viewing.

Tonight, I finally viewed this speech.

It is uncanny how principles, even the description of liberals, has not changed in 45 years.

The Dems would have a landslide in 1964, but Reagan’s day would come in 1980, after yet another disaster of a President, Jimmy Carter, was fired by the American people.

This speech is one for the ages.

And the battle he asked us to join, is not yet over.

God bless Ronald Reagan.
