    A TIME for CHOOSING – a Speech by Ronald Reagan – 1964 – (Abbreviated Version)

    A TIME FOR CHOOSING – A speech by Ronald Reagan – 1964 – (Abbreviated version) Reprinted by SB - July 23, 2014 50 years later Hey SB! I started to grind my teeth the other day when Elizabeth Warren spoke at Netroots Nation, a convention for liberal bloggers and activists. She outlined 11 tenets of progressivism, and after each expressed belief or goal she emphasized it by saying emphatically: AND WE WILL FIGHT FOR IT! Actually SB, she did a VERY COMPETENT job of whipping this group of radical leftists into a collective lather. She’s good, SB! Don’t dismiss her! She’s a formidable force to deal with! Why not take her on in some fashion? …… And SOON! – Stefano Bachovich – obscure curmudgeon and wise political pundit – a prolific purveyor of opinions on just about everything – SB’s primary “go to guy.” OK Stefano! Back off! I’m on it! There’s nothing better to inspire the conservative troops than a speech by Ronald Reagan. This is one of several similar presentations Reagan gave as a stump speech, at speaking engagements, and on a memorable night in 1964 in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign. This version is from that broadcast. As he expressed to all Americans: We have come to a time for choosing!!! - SB ______________________ I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this. It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government." This idea -- that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power -- is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.
  • Mtv and Transatlantic Cold War Music Videos

    Mtv and Transatlantic Cold War Music Videos

    102 MTV AND TRANSATLANTIC COLD WAR MUSIC VIDEOS WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH INTRODUCTION In 1986 Music Television (MTV) premiered “Peace Sells”, the latest video from American metal band Megadeth. In many ways, “Peace Sells” was a standard pro- motional video, full of lip-synching and head-banging. Yet the “Peace Sells” video had political overtones. It featured footage of protestors and police in riot gear; at one point, the camera draws back to reveal a teenager watching “Peace Sells” on MTV. His father enters the room, grabs the remote and exclaims “What is this garbage you’re watching? I want to watch the news.” He changes the channel to footage of U.S. President Ronald Reagan at the 1986 nuclear arms control summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. The son, perturbed, turns to his father, replies “this is the news,” and lips the channel back. Megadeth’s song accelerates, and the video re- turns to riot footage. The song ends by repeatedly asking, “Peace sells, but who’s buying?” It was a prescient question during a 1980s in which Cold War militarism and the nuclear arms race escalated to dangerous new highs.1 In the 1980s, MTV elevated music videos to a new cultural prominence. Of course, most music videos were not political.2 Yet, as “Peace Sells” suggests, dur- ing the 1980s—the decade of Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and a robust nuclear arms race—music videos had the potential to relect political concerns. MTV’s founders, however, were so culturally conserva- tive that many were initially wary of playing African American artists; addition- ally, record labels were hesitant to put their top artists onto this new, risky chan- 1 American President Ronald Reagan had increased peace-time deicit defense spending substantially.

  • A Time for Choosing and a Time for Free Speech: Minnesota Voters Alliance V

    A Time for Choosing and a Time for Free Speech: Minnesota Voters Alliance V

    A TIME FOR CHOOSING AND A TIME FOR FREE SPEECH: MINNESOTA VOTERS ALLIANCE V. MANSKY AND THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ELECTION DAY APPAREL BANS Eric T. Kasper* and Troy A. Kozma** ABSTRACT In Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky, 138 S. Ct. 1876 (2018), the U.S. Supreme Court held that Minnesota’s Election Day polling place political apparel ban violated the First Amendment. Applying a nonpublic forum analysis, Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the Court; he found that, although the ban served a permissible objective, the policy was unreasonable in that it was too subjective by failing to sufficiently define the types of apparel that are prohibited. In a critical analysis of the decision, we find that the Court was correct to find the statute unconstitutional for its lack of clarity in defining the word political. However, we also argue that the Court’s assessment that every polling place always constitutes a nonpublic forum lacked an understanding of the complexity that is presented by different types of polling places. Furthermore, contrary to the opinion of the Court, we also assert that the First Amendment protects the wearing at a polling place during voting hours on Election Day any political apparel—including apparel displaying logos or names of candidates for elective office—unless the person wearing the apparel is either doing so with intent to intimidate other voters or is being materially and substantially disruptive of the electoral process. Ultimately, we contend that there is a greater threat to both voting rights and the freedom of expression with the Court’s standard than what we propose here.

It has stood in the life of this city and state, and it is perhaps accurate to add, the nation, as a group of citizen leaders interested in fundamental problems of government, and chiefly concerned with achievement of progress in government through non-partisan means. The privilege of addressing you, therefore, in the heat of a political campaign, is great. I want to respond to your courtesy in terms consistent with your policy. I want to speak not of politics but of government. I want to speak not of parties, but of universal principles.

Mercieca Committee Members, Kristan Poirot Jennifer Jones Barbour Robert Mackin Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge May 2017 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2017 Andrea June Terry ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I argue that Stephen Skowronek’s theory of political time can be used as analytic to better understand the rhetorical opportunities and constraints for presidents and presidential candidates. In particular, I look to Ronald Reagan as a case study: as a president who came on the heels of the end of FDR’s liberal era, Reagan set the tone for a new presidential regime, consisting of particular rhetorical and policy commitments that were all shaped through his neoliberal economic policy. After identifying the rhetorical hallmarks of the neoliberal era as constructed by Reagan, I analyze the rhetorical efforts of his successor, regime articulation president George H.W. Bush, to negotiate the changing domestic and international atmosphere within the rhetorical and policy constraints of Reagan’s neoliberalism. Finally, I identify and analyze the preemptive efforts of Bill Clinton and Ross Perot during the 1992 election as they attempted to renegotiate key aspects of Reagan’s rhetorical and policy commitments to win the presidency.

    Sandra Day O'Connor 1930- When a Supreme Court vacancy opened up in 1981, President Reagan chose Sandra Day O'Connor, an Arizona appeals court judge. Unlike many Supreme Court justices, O'Connor had broad political experience. Appointed to a state senatorial vacancy in 1969, she successfully ran for the seat and became the state senate's first woman majority leader in 1972. O'Connor won election as a superior court judge in 1974 and was later appointed to the court of appeals.
