Simi Valley, Calif. – “I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.”
Those words from President Ronald Reagan appear above where he and his beloved Nancy’s earthly remains rest, here at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. There to pray before National Review Institute’s annual Buckley Prize dinner, I unexpectedly found his words a little jarring. What leading politician believes such things anymore? It seems more as if they — and everyone on social media and in every political discussion — think more like, A man might be okay if he agrees with me and says so, and often.
