45 Years Ago Today: We Have a Rendezvous With Destiny
RedState: Conservative News and Community — We forget this anniversary at our peril. As conservatives face off against their own natural party, the GOP, in NY-23, Florida, and elsewhere, we should remember Ronald Reagan’s famous speech. “Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, “We don’t know how lucky we are.” And the Cuban stopped and said, “How lucky you are?

On a personal note, Ronald Reagan inspired my early involvement in politics -- and his passing was the direct inspiration for my first blog post. This hero of my youth remains the hero of my mature years. Remember these words. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or ...
