"Two friends of mine were speaking with a Cuban who had escaped Fidel's regime for the freedom of America... After awhile, the two friends said to one another: 'We don't know how lucky we are...' and the Cuban responded: 'How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to!' And then they understood the really important point: America is the last hope -- the last bastion of freedom on Earth... If we fail here, there will be no place for anyone to escape to."
May God bless Ronald Reagan.
"In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards... Even today, the Soviet Union cannot feed itself. The inescapable conclusion is that freedom is the victor. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" - Ronald Reagan, Speech at the Brandenburg Gate, 1987.
