As the principal resource for younger conservative and libertarian activists, YBF publishes a daily post points you to stories that we think may be of interest. We will also share two quotes from the two brightest lights in the conservative firmament – Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher – each day. 

On this day…

1980: Margaret Thatcher made her famous “Not For Turning” speech at the Conservative conference in Brighton

Daily Reaganite

“Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.”

Daily Dose of Thatcherism

“What we should grasp, however, from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration; second, the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom; and third, European unity has been tried before, and the outcome was far from happy.”

2001: The United States began airstrikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Camels cowered.

Daily Reaganite

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.”

Daily Dose of Thatcherism

“Human rights did not begin with the French Revolution…[they] really stem from a mixture of Judaism and Christianity…[we English] had 1688, our quiet revolution, where Parliament exerted its will over the King…it was not the sort of Revolution that France’s was…’Liberty, equality, fraternity’ — they forgot obligations and duties I think. And then of course the fraternity went missing for a long time.”

1944: The Royal Canadian Airforce shot down the first German jet fighter over France

Daily Reaganite

“And I have to point out that government doesn’t tax to get the money it needs, government always needs the money it gets.”

Daily Dose of Thatcherism

“I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society — from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain.”
