Unfortunately he lost the primaries to Gerald Ford, who went on to lose the election against Jimmy Carter. He restored that concept to the national vocabulary in a time when many Americans—and certainly the nation’s political, educational, and cultural elites—had lost sight of it.In his election eve address in 1980, the day before he would be elected president, Reagan described his vision of America by referring to the aims of the Puritans who settled Massachusetts in the 1600s:I have quoted John Winthrop’s words more than once on the campaign trail this year—for I believe that Americans in 1980 are every bit as committed to that vision of a shining “city on a hill” as were those long-ago settlers….These visitors to that city on the Potomac do not come as white or black, red or yellow; they are not Jews or Christians; conservatives or liberals; or Democrats or Republicans. We have taken out a commission. Reagan was born in 1911 and during college he majored in economics. Environment/Energy
Many are concerned about their livelihoods and ability to provide for their families.‘Some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along,’ the scientist wrote.Gallup has a new poll out today with the headline “Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence.” This headline understates the findings a bit.My colleague Isaac Orr has done the math. I get the feeling they don’t like me.The wealthiest New Yorkers have fled over the course of the last five months.Some days I wake up and it takes a while for it to hit me that so many Americans seem to have lost their minds.The only way to resist that is to turn off the game and refuse to buy pro sports merchandise.

As Reagan noted in his 1986 State of the Union address, the future of the United States will always be in the hands of the people, unless the people refuse that responsibility once and for all:What brought America back? Reagan noted several examples in that speech—government farm programs, “urban renewal” disasters, wasteful welfare spending in the “War on Poverty,” the failure to fund Social Security, monetary inflation, “accommodation” of the Soviet Union’s expansion by conquest and subversion, foreign aid to corrupt, socialist governments, etc.—as he did on multitudinous occasions throughout his political career.In discussing welfare spending in that speech, Reagan pithily demonstrated the evils of big government and exposed the huge political class that grows up to populate the welfare state’s apparatus and continuously agitates for the further metastasis of government:We’re spending 45 billion dollars [a year] on welfare. The American people brought us back—with quiet courage and common sense; with undying faith that in this nation under God the future will be ours, for the future belongs to the free.For Reagan, as for Winthrop and the nation’s founders, American exceptionalism referred to the great burden a free people must bear: responsibility for their choices as a nation, and the preservation of freedom for future generations. And how stands the city on this winter night?… After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true to the granite ridge, and her glow has held no matter what storm. Direct aid to the poor, however, is only running only about 600 dollars per family. Climate Change
We have taken out a commission. For Winthrop, existence as the “city upon a hill” was a heavy responsibility, not a privilege, and failure to keep that commitment would bring well-deserved punishment from the Almighty:We are entered into covenant with Him for this work. In order to prove my thesis, I will firstly explain the concept of ´American exceptionalism´in the first chapter and then I will summarize Reagan´s campaign in chapter two. Quite the contrary, Winthrop’s point was that the American colonies, having been explicitly founded as free, Christian states, bore a responsibility, indeed a burden, unique among the nations of the world:For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill.

They knew that governments don’t control things. The first is that the history of the United States is inherently different from those of other nations. It would seem that someplace there must be some overhead.All of these ills, Reagan said, result from a failure to respect the rights of individuals, which in turn derives from the people’s willingness to cede those rights (and their associated responsibilities) to a self-proclaimed class of superior individuals who promise to manage their lives and those of their neighbors with scientific precision and effectiveness:Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.Reagan closes this extraordinary speech by referring to the United States as “the last best hope of man on earth,” and he says that a failure to preserve the nation for its children “will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.” From our perspective more than a half-century later, it appears that we have taken further steps in that direction.Reagan, however, would surely counsel hope and faith as he did in 1980.
