Reagan on Foreign Policy, Democracy, and National Security

“We're proud of our way of life; we're confident that freedom will prevail, because it works and because it is right.”

August 17, 1984

“In the last 3\1/2\ years, we've quit apologizing, and at long last we're standing up and being counted. As our United Nations Ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, said, we've taken off our 'Kick Me' sign. We're proud of our way of life; we're confident that freedom will prevail, because it works and because it is right. We believe the free peoples of the world should support all those who share our democratic values.”
