Actor, President, Prophet?

A friend sent me this clip today. It's about 10 minutes long, but it's all audio, so you can start it and then do other things while you listen. This is Ronald Reagan in 1961 making the case against Socialized Medicine. He sounds almost prophetic to what is going on today.

Reagan knew, as many of us know now, that Socialized Medicine is a great way to push Socialism on society. Socialists throughout history have said so. As Reagan says, health care for all is a hard thing to oppose, so it's the perfect way for those who want a Socialist society to get their foot in the door.

But, as we all know, Socialism has never worked, and never will work because it takes power from the masses and gives it to a few in government. Eventually, those few will become corrupt and the government will cease to function for the greater good. Humans, by our nature, are corrupt, and power given to certain people in a socialist society will eventually corrupt them, leading to an oppressed and miserable people. That's the history of our world.

I can't say it any better than our 40th President, please listen and enjoy. I wish we still had leaders on the Conservative side who could communicate like this.
