Ronald Reagan gave his famous speech “A Time For Choosing” a week before Election Day 1964. Nearly six decades later, the speech remains relevant, and the parallels to the circumstances we face today are striking. The battles against big government and Marxist do-gooders have changed only in the sense that they have intensified. Americans are still debating our role in the world—even as war rages in Europe. We are uncertain of our future, as we were then.
Reagan decried a bloated welfare state, a militant tax-and-spending regime in Washington, and the blatant bribing of Americans with their own tax dollars for their votes. Full Democratic control of Washington over the past two years has produced the kind of government Reagan could have imagined only in a fever dream. The inflationary Inflation Reduction Act and the unconstitutional forgiveness of student loans via executive fiat were shameless attempts to buy votes before a midterm election.
The choice before Americans next month is simple. Will we sell our votes to politicians promising us prosperity if only we give them more of our money? Will we choose to be free—acknowledging the risks and challenges that inevitably accompany freedom—or will we choose to be dependent? Will we, as Reagan said, “believe in our capacity for self-government, or abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves”?

Getting rid of Dan Crenshaw would be a good start. He’s got a lot of nerve pretending to channel Renaldo Maximus.
Just change some of the names (Hugh Scott=Mitch McConnell, for example) and the speech could be given today.
After we destroy the Democrats - we are going RINO hunting.
Heard a guest on Varney this morning, “When democrats are in power they are like looters at a riot”
Or as P.J. O’Rourke (RIP) said, “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
The Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

What do you think is going to happen in GA? Crenshaw is part of the problem as he’s a card carrying RINO anti Trumper.
This says —Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Biden/Fetterman for you know, the thing.
Reagan didn’t start wars either.
“What do you think is going to happen in GA? Crenshaw is part of the problem as he’s a card carrying RINO anti Trumper.”
Both Kemp and Walker are going to win in a walk.
And when democrats are not in power they ARE the looters at the riot.
Well, there was Grenada.
We’ve already chosen …… bitches !
It shut the fist waving chest pounding bastard up so fast you'd think it killed him.
As I recall he was never heard from again while Reagan was President.
