I made a speech by that title [A Time for Choosing] in 1964. I said, ‘WeOve been told increasingly that we must choose between left or right.’ But weOre still using those terms – left or right. And IOll repeat what I said then in O64. OThere is no left or right. ThereOs only an up or downO: up to the ultimate in individual freedom, consistent with an orderly society – or down to the totalitarianism of the ant heap. And those today who, however good their intentions, tell us that we should trade freedom for security are on that downward path. Ronald Reagan
