ON THE DAY CONSERVATIVES find ourselves sifting through the ashes of Super Tuesday, we observe the birthday of our party's standard bearer, who reminds us that optimism, and love of God and Country are the hallmarks of conservatism.
"And whatever else history may say about me when I'm gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears, to your confidence rather than your doubts.
My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty's lamp guiding your steps and opportunity's arm steadying your way.
My fondest hope for each one of you — and especially for young people — is that you will love your country, not for her power or wealth, but for her selflessness and her idealism.
May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will make the world a little better for your having been here. May all of you as Americans never forget your heroic origins, never fail to seek divine guidance, and never lose your natural, God-given optimism.
And finally, my fellow Americans, may every dawn be a great new beginning for America and every evening bring us closer to that shining city upon a hill."
THE PATRIOT POST REMINDS US...
In honor of the 58th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s 39th birthday, as he would put it, today’s Patriot Chronicle will be in part dedicated to this giant of conservatism and mentor to our key staff. A man of simple origins, Reagan always and unwaveringly did what was right for America. He brought trust, dignity, and humility to the presidency. He was, as William Bennett once observed, “A man in possession of his own soul,” and he restored the nation’s values, its character, its soul. He was a gentleman and a Patriot.
We encourage you to visit our tribute to the greatest president of the 20th Century at Reagan2020.US—the Internet’s most comprehensive resource on President Reagan’s life and achievements and a touchstone for all Patriot conservatives going forward.
