Americans Are Not Going To Tolerate Intimidation, Terror And Outright Acts Of War Against This Nation And Its People.

In This Present Crisis, Government Is Not The Solution To Our Problem; Government Is The Problem. From Time To Time We've Been Tempted To Believe That Society Has Become Too Complex To Be Managed By Self-rule, That Government By An Elite Group Is Superior To Government For, By, And Of The People. Well, If No One Among Us Is Capable Of Governing Himself, Then Who Among Us Has The Capacity To Govern Someone Else? All Of Us Together, In And Out Of Government, Must Bear The Burden.

I Am Told That Tens Of Thousands Of Prayer Meetings Are Being Held On This Day; For That I Am Deeply Grateful. We Are A Nation Under God, And I Believe God Intended For Us To Be Free.

The Task That Has Fallen To Us As Americans Is To Move The Conscience Of The World, To Keep Alive The Hope And Dream Of Freedom. For If We Fail Or Falter, There'll Be No Place For The World's Oppressed To Flee To. This Is Not A Role We Sought. We Preach No Manifest Destiny. But Like The Americans Who Brought A New Nation Into The World 200 Years Ago, History Has Asked Much Of Us In Our Time. Much We've Already Given; Much More We Must Be Prepared To Give.

I Can't Believe That This World Can Go On Beyond Our Generation And On Down To Succeeding Generations With This Kind Of Weapon On Both Sides Poised At Each Other Without Someday Some Fool Or Some Maniac Or Some Accident Triggering The Kind Of War That Is The End Of The Line For All Of Us. And I Just Think Of What A Sigh Of Relief Would Go Up From Everyone On This Earth If Someday-and This Is What I Have-my Hope, Way In The Back Of My Head-is That If We Start Down The Road To Reduction, Maybe One Day In Doing That, Somebody Will Say, 'why Not All The Way?

These Are The Values Inspiring Those Brave Workers In Poland. The Values That Have Inspired Other Dissidents Under Communist Domination. They Remind Us That Where Free Unions And Collective Bargaining Are Forbidden, Freedom Is Lost.

[our Goal] Is To Help Revive America's Traditional Values: Faith, Family, Neighborhood, Work And Freedom. Government Has No Business Enforcing These Values But Neither Must It Seek, As It Did In The Recent Past, To Suppress Or Replace Them. That Only Robbed Us Of Our Tiller And Set Us Adrift. Helping To Restore These Values Will Bring New Strength, Direction And Dignity To Our Lives And To The Life Of Our Nation. It's On These Values That We'll Best Build Our Future.

It's Been Written That The Most Sublime Figure In American History Was George Washington On His Knees In The Snow At Valley Forge. He Personified A People Who Knew That It Was Not Enough To Depend On Their Own Courage And Goodness, That They Must Also Seek Help From God - Their Father And Preserver. Where Did We Begin To Lose Sight Of That Noble Beginning, Of Our Conviction That Standards Of Right And Wrong Do Exist And Must Be Lived Up To? Do We Really Think That We Can Have It Both Ways, That God Will Protect Us In A Time Of Crisis Even As We Turn Away From Him In Our Day-to-day Life?

Freedom Is One Of The Deepest And Noblest Aspirations Of The Human Spirit. People, Worldwide, Hunger For The Right Of Self-determination, For Those Inalienable Rights That Make For Human Dignity And Progress.

We Cannot Escape Our Destiny, Nor Should We Try To Do So. The Leadership Of The Free World Was Thrust Upon Us Two Centuries Ago In That Little Hall Of Philadelphia. In The Days Following World War Ii, When The Economic Strength And Power Of America Was All That Stood Between The World And The Return To The Dark Ages, Pope Pius Xii Said, 'the American People Have A Great Genius For Splendid And Unselfish Actions. Into The Hands Of America God Has Placed The Destinies Of An Afflicted Mankind.' We Are Indeed, And We Are Today, The Last Best Hope Of Man On Earth.

I Have Been One Who Believes That Abortion Is The Taking Of A Human Life . . . . The Fact That They Could Not Resolve The Issue Of When Life Begins Was A Finding In And Of Itself. If We Don't Know, Then Shouldn't We Morally Opt On The Side That It Is Life? If You Came Upon An Immobile Body And You Yourself Could Not Determine Whether It Was Dead Or Alive, I Think That You Would Decide To Consider It Alive Until Somebody Could Prove It Was Dead. You Wouldn't Get A Shovel And Start Covering It Up. And I Think We Should Do The Same Thing With Regard To Abortion.

You And I Know And Do Not Believe That Life Is So Dear And Peace So Sweet As To Be Purchased At The Price Of Chains And Slavery. If Nothing In Life Is Worth Dying For, When Did This Begin-just In The Face Of This Enemy? Or Should Moses Have Told The Children Of Israel To Live In Slavery Under The Pharaohs? Should Christ Have Refused The Cross? Should The Patriots At Concord Bridge Have Thrown Down Their Guns And Refused To Fire The Shot Heard 'round The World? The Martyrs Of History Were Not Fools, And Our Honored Dead Who Gave Their Lives To Stop The Advance Of The Nazis Didn't Die In Vain.

When The Labor Department Is Forced To Relent And Let These Visitors Do This Work It Is Of Course All Legal. But It Makes One Wonder About The Illegal Alien Fuss.

The Democrats Say That The United States Has Had Its Days In The Sun, That Our Nation Has Passed Its Zenith. They Expect You To Tell Your Children That The American People No Longer Have The Will To Cope With Their Problems, That The Future Will Be One Of Sacrifice And Few Opportunities. My Fellow Citizens, I Utterly Reject That View.

I've Spoken Of The Shining City All My Political Life, But I Don't Know If I Ever Quite Communicated What I Saw When I Said It. But In My Mind It Was A Tall, Proud City Built On Rocks Stronger Than Oceans, Windswept, God-blessed, And Teeming With People Of All Kinds Living In Harmony And Peace; A City With Free Ports That Hummed With Commerce And Creativity. And If There Had To Be City Walls, The Walls Had Doors And The Doors Were Open To Anyone With The Will And Heart To Get There. That's How I Saw It, And See It Still.

We're Here To Mark That Day In History When The Allied Peoples Joined In Battle To Reclaim This Continent To Liberty. For Four Long Years, Much Of Europe Had Been Under A Terrible Shadow. Free Nations Had Fallen, Jews Cried Out In The Camps, Millions Cried Out For Liberation. Europe Was Enslaved, And The World Prayed For Its Rescue. Here In Normandy The Rescue Began. Here The Allies Stood And Fought Against Tyranny In A Giant Undertaking Unparalleled In Human History.

Israel Exists; It Has A Right To Exist In Peace Behind Secure And Defensible Borders; And It Has A Right To Demand Of Its Neighbors That They Recognize Those Facts. I Have Personally Followed And Supported Israel's Heroic Struggle For Survival, Ever Since The Founding Of The State Of Israel 34 Years Ago. In The Pre-1967 Borders Israel Was Barely 10 Miles Wide At Its Narrowest Point. The Bulk Of Israel's Population Lived Within Artillery Range Of Hostile Arab Armies. I Am Not About To Ask Israel To Live That Way Again.

Government Is Like A Baby. An Alimentary Canal With A Big Appetite At One End And No Sense Of Responsibility At The Other.

Common Sense Told Us That To Preserve The Peace, We'd Have To Become Strong Again After Years Of Weakness And Confusion.

The Doctor Begins To Lose Freedoms; It's Like Telling A Lie, And One Leads To Another. First You Decide That The Doctor Can Have So Many Patients. They Are Equally Divided Among The Various Doctors By The Government. But Then The Doctors Aren't Equally Divided Geographically, So A Doctor Decides He Wants To Practice In One Town And The Government Has To Say To Him You Can't Live In That Town, They Already Have Enough Doctors. You Have To Go Someplace Else. And From Here It Is Only A Short Step To Dictating Where He Will Go.

I Am An Environmentalist. ... I Am For Clean Air.
