Great speech and one that should be watched by all at least once. Why, the gaul of Reagan to challenge and confront the USSR. You WILL NOT see this in the current WH. What you will see is the current president throwing US allies to the wolves.

That is the ultimate twist of irony isn't it? So is the fact that our astronauts will be hitching rides with the Russians before too long.

Great speech from a great President. If you want an example of a horrible speech, just view a video of Obama's apology for America defending itself from Islamic hostility in Cairo.

Reagan the Globalist...how on Earth does that make him a great President? He wasn't that good of an actor too.
