I watched this farewell speech Reagan gave in 1989. I was too young to really be aware of alot of the details of the Reagan years, I know our PM of the time Mulroney was a great Reagan fan.

The speech reminds of how inclusive he and the USA was then compared to now, and how much his concept of freedom deteriorated over 8 years of Bush and now 2 of Obama. I wonder how the Shining city part of the speech would play out today on Fox News.

He'd find himself in a much more polarized situation. With socialism (The ugly step sister of Communism) to the extreme left and Corporatism (The ugly step sister of Fascism) on the far right.


I wonder if he would properly call Ohio Governor Kasich "Il Duce".
