This is Reagan's farewell address. Anyone think this guy was not far more "there" than Biden currently is?


Thanks for posting this. I voted for Reagan twice, and, while I don't remember this speech, it's likely I watched him deliver it back in 1989. Watching it again is like a bullet fired in front of my face. Now, 32 years later, I won't forget his words.

Back in 1989 I simply never envisioned how far we would stray from the simple and common sense messages he delivered about the fundamental things that make America, America.

I hate to be fatalistic, and I always hesitate to be prisoner of the moment, but I think we're very close to losing - forever - those fundamental things that made America, America.

Unfortunately my first vote was not until the Fall of 1988, so I never had the opportunity to vote for him. And voting for GHW Bush was not exactly the same thing...

It's hard to fully comprehend, and honestly as I try and explain how far we've come to my teen aged sons, it's actually hard to explain without sounding crazy.
