Ronald Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004)

You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right.  There is only an up or down — up to a man’s age-old dream; the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order — or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

Wesley Morris

To live in this country in this century, and still be talking about white men impersonating black people, is to suspect that it’s probably always 1884 somewhere.
