This piece of history from the great Ronald Reagan needs little set up, or commentary. As always, Reagan says it well. His very first words say so much, and looking through the prism of history were 100 percent correct. The rest is rather chilling.
This speech was done in 1961 and was part of a Coffee Cup Campaign against socialized medicine, a scheme the democrats were floating around at the time. This of course stands as proof that you can never turn your back on a democrat, because they are always scheming, always planing their insanity.
Ronald Reagan was a private citizen at the time this was recorded. And of course this socialist scheme was defeated.
Say, isn’t there a certain western Governor who is about to become a private citizen in about a week?
Wonder what she will have to say on this?

Regan could have made this speech today
Scope (Diary) Monday, July 20th at 8:01AM EST (link)but this time, he would be warning the people that the Liberals/Socialists already have one foor in your door, and, it is time to slam it shut. I love how he says that the American people will never accept Socialism, so now they call themselves Liberals.
I like your comment Gary when you say- “You can never turn your back on a Democrat, they are always scheming, always planning their insanity.” Their insanity has now reached a point where they are making peoples heads explode, even some of those they think they have won over. I still have faith in the American people, and, with the intensity and rapidity of Obama to get it done now, he has pushed the envelope a little too far, a little too fast. One of Obama’s greatest downfalls will be with his arrogance in thinking that he can keep everyone under his magic spell. The polls are already showing that he is in a free fall. Hopefully he will wind up not being able to claw his way out of the garbage pile he is creating. You’re right, never trust a Democrat.
