A Time for Choosing
A Time for Choosing, also known as The Speech, was a speech presented during the 1964 U.S. presidential election campaign by future president Ronald Reagan on behalf of Republican candidate Barry Goldwater.
==Background==
Many versions of the speech exist, since it was altered over many weeks. Contrary to popular belief, however, the speech was not given at the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco, California as a nomination speech for Barry Goldwater. Richard Nixon gave that nomination speech. Reagan, though he campaigned for Goldwater, did not use "A Time for Choosing" until October 27, 1964, when it was part of a pre-recorded television program, ''Rendezvous with Destiny.'' In his autobiography Reagan recalled going to bed that night "hoping I hadn't let Barry down."
Speaking for Goldwater, Reagan stressed his belief in the importance of smaller government. In this speech, he revealed his ideological motivation: "The Founding Fathers knew a government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Time for Choosing )〕 He also said, "You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream – the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order – or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism."〔〔Richard A. Harris, Daniel J. Tichenor. ''A History of the U.S. Political System: Ideas, Interests, and Institutions, Volume 1''. Santa Barbara, California, USA: ABC-CLIO, 2009. Pp. 384.〕 The speech raised $1 million for Goldwater's campaign and is considered the event that launched Reagan's political career.〔Cannon (2001), p. 36.〕
