Video Title :
Ronald Reagan - A Time for Choosing (October 27, 1964)
Description :
This is an excerpt of the 30 minute speech supporting the Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater. Reagan speaks of big government, high taxation, and the "war on poverty." He addresses foreign policy issues including the risk of appeasement, "peace through strength," and the Vietnam War. The speech establishes Reagan as an important figure in the conservative wing of the Republican party.
To a significant degree, Ronald Reagan's election to the presidency stems from this speech, given on national television on behalf of, and sponsored by, Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign. The speech remains amazingly fresh as a statement of modern American conservative philosophy four decades after it was delivered.

Thank you for recognizing that Reagan is single-handedly responsible for the death of industrial revolution, the decline of the west, national obesity, and slavery in China.
But most of all, thank y'all for the 20/20 hindsight; for superimposing nuclear-threat-Cold-War era's policies onto today's peacetime & prosperity context.
Thank you you, Davevon, for showing me how brainwashed people can be
He's the one person who didn't vote for reagan in 84.
But most of all, Reagan, I want to thank you for showing me in cold, clear examples that I can't deny the true nature of my country. Thanks for making me see that Dr. King's dream, Jefferson's democracy and Ben Franklin's genius were just that -- a dream. A dream that an unfettered free market manufactured in China with the slave labor of dissidents and sold by some pissed-off, slack-jawed teenage punk to some fat old crustacean lumbering along the aisles at Walmart.
God bless America.
Thanks for the "parade of sleaze" where you had more White House staff brought up on ethics charges than any other administration in the history of our country. Thanks AGAIN for training death squads at the School of the Americas to give pogroms and civilian massacres a uniquely Central American flavor. Thanks for being too much of a punk to back up that patriotic trash-talking with real active duty when others were fighting and dying.
Thanks for the witch hunts, ruined lives and ruined families when you were president of the Screen Actors Guild. Thanks for joking around with nuclear weapons. Thanks for explaining that trees produce more carbon monoxide than cars. Thanks for (famously) pointing out that ketchup is a vegetable. Thanks for being unamerican enough to blithely ignore the War Powers Act with Iran. Thanks for permanently destroying most of the US's manufacturing economic infrastructure.
Thank you Reagan for making Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala run red with rivers of blood. Thanks for doing everything you could think of to run the national economy into the ground as hard and as fast as you could. Thanks for putting us into hopeless debt with Asian and European banks. Thanks for treating being the head of state like a part-time hobby. Thanks for dismantling the free press. Thanks for castrating public education. Thanks for harming the US more than Hitler could have dreamed
you got me there i must have been drunk or something. but why don't you tell me what it was?
he is a republican! *sigh* wish you were here Reagan, if only you were here...
