What follows is Ronald Reagan's 1964 Republican National Convention Speech. It is probably one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Please take a half an hour and watch this video. Everyone of you out there knows you can find a half hour out of your day, so do it and watch this video. I hear people often ask, "Where is the next George Washington? Where is the next Thomas Jefferson? We need people like that these days", they will say. And I say to them: "How do you know that you are not looking at someone like that everytime you look in the mirror?" Those people you mentioned, our Founding Fathers, they didn't want to do what they did, but they did it. They didn't look to someone else to do a job that they were called to do, they did it. They did not say "oh where is John Locke, or Montesquieu when you need them." No, they took the time out of their day to do what their country needed them to do. Will you?
And to the socialist in this country who say things like: "What freedoms have you lost?" in response to someone telling them what their government is doing to them, should also watch this video and ask me that question again.
Enjoy:
