A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Reagan and the Evil Empire

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the speech in which Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union precisely what it was: an evil empire.  Speaking to the National Association of Evangelicals, President Reagan made his case for Judeo-Christian values and called God-fearing Americans to action in the struggle for moral clarity at home and abroad.

I think what is most shockingly refreshing about this speech is the candid, frank way a President of the United States used to be able to speak.

To put the importance of this speech in to some proper, historical perspective, here is Newt Gingrich's presentation at the American Enterprise Institute.
