What Hope and Change Would Mean for America

October 24th, 2008

44 years ago, Ronald Reagan went to bat for Barry Goldwater with the televised address titled “A Time For Choosing”. At the time, America faced a radical shift from the centrist leadership of the former Kennedy Administration to Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society”, which was considered to be the ugliness of leftism defined for the rest of the 1960s.

Today, Fred Thompson (the man who should’ve been the nominee IMHO) offers some words of warning regarding the clear and present danger that looms around the corner for our nation (h/t: Hot Air).

Watch the entire video.

Ronald Reagan said as he closed his classic speech, “You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”

I submit that our rendezvous with destiny draws nigh. In 2008, our nation once again stands at the crossroads between Preservation and Darkness.

Is “the change we need” really the change we want?
