The following is a video of a speech Ronald Reagan gave in 1964. It’s amazing how relevant that speech is today. The speech begins talking about Peace and Prosperity. He talks about how no nation has ever survived a tax burden of one third it’s national income. How the government continues to spend more than it takes in and how we’ve raised the debt limit. Sound familiar.
Here’s some excerpts from the speech that I feel are what this election and upcoming elections are all about. (It begins at the 2:58 mark in the video)
This election is about:
“If we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the founding fathers”.
“Whether we believe in our capacity for self government or whether we 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”.
That is what this election is all about. There are elected officials out there that think they are smarter then the American people and that they have the right and duty to tell us what to do. There are also some running for office that believe in the American people and want to represent us and give us back our freedom to make our own choices in life. I vote for us, the American people.
Another great quote from the speech
“There is no such thing as a left or right there is only an up or down. Man’s own old dream the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism and regardless of sincerity, their humanitarianism motives those who would trade or freedom for security have embarked on this downward course”.
