Did anyone ever make that Reagan/Paul video?

If no one hasn't I will, and I promise you it won't be any good.

Post videos of Reagan if you know of any and I'll at least try.
 
There is one out there, from Reagans support of Goldwater giving his speech, it was good but its an old video and I dont have the link.

Go for it, search google videos and you tube
 
Nice

Good job, isn't it amazing how 9/11 made both Bush and Chaney to do a 180 on policy.
 
Very good video. I would rename it though, because a title like that will never come up in the searches if anyone's looking for it. "Ronald Regan, George Bush & Ron Paul" would be much better, or "Where have the Republicans Gone?" or something like that. You'll come up with something good. :)
 
Someone on here had a much higher res version of the Reagan-Goldwater speech than what is on YouTube. I did have a link to it, but my hard drive crashed on Monday.

So, whoever it was, please speak up and point us towards the high-res version.
 
That was nice, but it is somewhat taking what Reagan said, out of context. The part of this speech that really pertains to Paul is about our freedom and letting our country be run by the elite.

For example...

You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

In this vote-harvesting time, they use terms like the "Great Society," or as we were told a few days ago by the President, we must accept a "greater government activity in the affairs of the people." But they have been a little more explicit in the past and among themselves--and all of the things that I now will quote have appeared in print. These are not Republican accusations. For example, they have voices that say "the cold war will end through acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism." Another voice says that the profit motive has become outmoded, it must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state; or our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the 20th century. Senator Fullbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the president as our moral teacher and our leader, and he said he is hobbled in his task by the restrictions in power imposed on him by this antiquated document. He must be freed so that he can do for us what he knows is best. And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government." Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government"--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.

There are many other examples in this speech that align with Paul too.

That was an awesome video. Great work dude!

I also agree there is room for somebody to make another one, contrasting paul's position on personal liberty with Regan's speech about "There is no left and right, only an up and down", that would be great to fuck up neo-cons with.
