Or, why we fight the leftists. I'll freely admit, this quote chokes me up & brings a tear to my eye.
"And how stands the city on this winter night? … After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true to the granite ridge, and her glow has held no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home." - Ronald Reagan

Re: The Shining City On The Hill
my favorite from Reagan
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

I can't always agree w. everything he did... but he really did get it... And, he had excellent writers, who probably didn't mind having a man of Regan's talents available to do the delivery...

Re: The Shining City On The Hill
Whenever I hear about the "city on a hill" this is what I think of. Fun fact: My knowledge of this game once won me praise in a US history class when I was the only one who knew who spoke of the city on the hill, at least until the professor asked mt HOW I knew.
