The Old Cowboy
Mark Montini’s sterling presentation at the Madison Beach Hotel this past Friday featuring his scrupulous insistence upon “staying on message,” is still resonating with me. Lot’s of work to be done: practice, practice and more practice. Coincidentally, the attached came across my desk during the weekend. It struck me as the perfect complement to Mark’s teaching so I’m posting it as “Exhibit A.” Most of you will be familiar with it but it never grows old.
The attached recording is an amazing blast from the past. (TIMELESS) I don’t think anyone ever said it better… or more forcefully, or more eloquently, or more truthfully. I believe this was one of Reagan’s speeches on the campaign trail to his landslide victory in 1980, when he took 49 states.
Since this message was given some 42 years ago, we need to think how it could be adapted to be equally effective today, almost two generations later—two generations in which the neo-Marxist ideas and movements have proliferated and the brainwashing has been more effective than at any prior time.
One good thing we have going for us now is that people are seeing more clearly than ever before what lawless Leftist rule looks like. As Reagan said so well: It’s not about Right or Left, but rather it’s about Up or Down. Perhaps we “Connecticut’s Freedom Fighters, should think of the present as an opportune time to DEFEAT those who would take America down.
