"Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence.--Let those materials be moulded into general intelligence, sound morality, and in particular, a reverence for the constitution and laws" --Abraham Lincoln, speaking on "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions" Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois, 1838

Liberal Hero JFK Clearly Uncompassionate...

Here is JFK on Tax Cuts...does he sound like the current Republican Party or the current Democratic Party? While is an icon of the Dems they fail to understand the simple logic of a low tax growing economy and the way it "raises all boats." I don't know if the problem is economic illiteracy or simplistic compassion. Trust me the very poor will do much better in a thriving economy. There will be more jobs for them, more tax dollars, and more private charity...

I MISS REAGAN

This is a segment of Reagan's speech on behalf of Barry Goldwater's presidency in 1964.

It is a truly masterful speech. It has been called the "A Time for Choosing Speech." This is a key portion of the speech dealing with foreign policy in a coldwar context but set in the current context with current images.

Enjoy...
