I made a speech by that title A Time for Choosing in 1964. I said, We've been told increasingly that we must choose between left or right. But we're still using those terms -- left or right. And I'll repeat what I said then in '64. There is no left or right. There's only an up or down 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.
