Americans for Prosperity has a new one-minute advertisement reminding us that today is the 101st birthday of Ronald Reagan — and that we face a crucial question of vision in this nation.  One vision sees America as a place of dependence, of static class divisions, where economic mobility is a thing of the past.  The other sees America as a land of opportunity, where government’s role is only to ensure fair markets and fair access to them, and where success and economic mobility is available to anyone willing to work to achieve them.

Put another way, the question for 2012 is this: Will we have morning in America once again, or mourning for America?  That choice is ours.
