No matter how much of our liberty Washington takes away in the name of security, there are no guarantees that there won’t be another terrorist attack. Instead of attacking American liberties, the government ought to go after terrorists in their countries of origin. It should be like what our military attempted during WWII. Don’t wait to defend ships against the kamikaze -- bomb the fields where they take off Picture Quote #1

The power of the American people, when we rise up and stand for liberty, knows no bounds Picture Quote #1

When the American spirit was in its youth, the language of America was different: Liberty, sir, was the primary object Picture Quote #1

One of the most constant aspects of American life is change - and nowhere is it more evident than in our financial markets Picture Quote #1

The power of the American system of republicanism lies in its capacity to allow religious belief to be a competing, not a controlling, factor in American life Picture Quote #1
