Fifty-one years ago today, Ronald Reagan gave his “Time for Choosing” speech. This afternoon, YAF tweeted excerpts of his speech to commemorate, but also as a reminder that much of what he said applies today.
YAF specifically mentioned the threats from Iran, Russia, and ISIS with 17 quotes from the speech they applied to today.
The speech applies though in other ways. Here are some memorable tweets, as well as the full speech.
