Well, because these quiet men do not raise their voices, because they sometimes speak in soothing tones of brotherhood & peace, because like other dictators before them they're always making their final territorial demand, some would have us accept them at their word & accommodate ourselves to their aggressive impulses. But if history teaches anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly. It means the betrayal of our past, the squandering of our freedom. 15:00:25 So I urge you to speak out against those who would place the United States in a position of military & moral inferiority. You know, I've always believed that old Screwtape reserved his best efforts for those of you in the church. So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals I urge you to beware the temptation of pride - the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all - & label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history & the aggressive impulses of an Evil Empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding & thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right & wrong and good & evil. I ask you to resist (final two minutes missing). 1980s; 1983; Republican Presidential Politics; Right Wing Christian Religion; Evil Empire; Economics; Executive Branch; Roe vs. Wade; Lobbying; Story Telling; Speech; Religious; Note: Credit must be given to: The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
