THE Speech: A Time for Choosing

Today in History, October 27, 1964:

While campaigning for Barry Goldwater to be president, actor Ronald Reagan gave a speech entitled “A Time for Choosing” which would come to define the American conservative movement for years to come. Reagan’s inspiring words would also show him to be the “Great Communicator” and launch him into the California governor’s office and eventually the presidency.

His words have often been recited and repeated as being pertinent to later times, and can be today as well. It is worth the time to listen.
