In last night's VP Debate, Sarah Palin quoted Ronald Reagan in her closing remarks:
"It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we’re going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free."
The source of this quote was a recording that Ronald Reagan had made in the early 1960s, descrying Medicare as an insidious form of socialism. Here is a brief description & MP3 of the original Reagan recording.
