Rendezvous With Destiny

Now that we're really getting down to crunch time on some of the most crucial issues that this country has ever faced, I wanted to post (again) this outstanding speech given by Ronald Reagan.  The words were spoken decades ago, but they are just as true today as they were then.

The common theme running through all of these major legislative battles is that of who we really are as Americans.  This is a time of self-definition.  This country has always been a center-right country, placing emphasis on individual liberty and responsibility, and on the idea of American exceptionalism.

The current American government has the opposite view, believing that the State knows best and should control as much as possible, and that America is actually the cause of most of the evil in the world.  One of these ideologies will win this battle...the question is: which one?

And that's where this video comes in.  Please take a moment to watch the whole thing:



It's crunch time.  Which side are you on?

There's my two cents.
