The Black Republican

Yesterday was the birthday of Ronald Wilson Reagan, a president so great his like may never be seen again in my lifetime. In honor of this 96th anniversary of his birth, yesterday Mark Levin played a speech on his radio show that Mr. Reagan gave way back in 1964. In its time, it was perhaps the greatest description of conservative philosophy ever delivered, and its power and eloquence have not receded over the years. In fact, I was particularly struck by the fact that - with the exception of replacing the Soviet Union with radical Muslim extremism as the great Evil of our day, and taking into account the increased size and cost of federal spending - NOT ONE WORD fails to be just as true today as the day it was spoken.

Unlike neo-liberal platitudes that must be retooled to account for every inane crisis they choose to exploit, and unlike their "facts" which must be constantly redefined to fit into their socialistic utopianism, conservative values are timeless, and this recording is something every American should hear to drive that concept home. Listen and imagine that every point Mr. Reagan is making about liberalism and tyranny, so true in our world today, was spoken over 42 years ago.
