Reagan's Timeless Wit

October 27, 1964 (from his nationally televised speech, which he called "A Time for Choosing" but was later simply referred to as "The Speech," in support of candidate Barry Goldwater) Talking about the former Soviet Union.

"If all of this seems like a great deal of trouble, think what's at stake. We are faced with the most evil enemy mankind has known in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is no fiscal and economic stability within the United States. Those who ask us to trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state are architects of a policy of accommodation." - Ronald Reagan

"It isn't that Liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so much that isn't so." - Ronald Reagan

Obummber, we may have stepped in it this time.
