"America is under attack from the inside out. A Reagan message from the 1950 is very revealing about today's plans for Healthcare. Isn't it time to make a godly stand? Produced in association with:Biz Video Communications."

The part-time actor and perhaps full-time Conservative Republican political activist Ronald Reagan, speaking at the 1964 Republican National Convention. He talked about Medicare and other social programs that were part of President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society agenda during this speech.

Ron Reagan was clearly not a statist. And another thing I respect about him, was he anti-statist across the board, whether it related to the economy, social issues, as well as civil liberties.
You had Classical Conservative Barry Goldwater running for President in 1964, in a Republican Party that still had a strong Northeastern progressive faction led by New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. The Northeast being one of the few solid factions of the country where the Republican Party could do well. The civil rights legislation of the 1960s doesn't pass without these Progressive Republicans in Congress. Especially in the Senate where the Southern Democrats could block all legislation with just 34 votes. Most of their coalition and a handful of Conservative Republicans who were in the Senate at the tine.
And here you have newly born again Conservative Republican Ronald Reagan, who was anti-Communist Progressive Democrat in the 1940s and 1950s, but still a Progressive and not a Conservative, speaking in lockstep with Senator Barry Goldwater, who was Mr. Conservative before Reagan ran for President in 1980. Saying no to high taxes, big government, communism, socialism in general, and many other things the Far-Left of the 1960s and 70s was pushing.
